Sweet, Sweet Dee.

We got our puppy in December, when we first got back from our Christmas Vacation in Cali. Needless to say I needed some cheering up after leaving family again, and Dee was the perfect way to start off getting back to the daily grind.

First of all, every one always asks us where we got her name. We attribute her name to this show, and it's unbelievable ability to be awesome:

Specifically, she's named after the female lead, Deandra "Sweet Dee" Reynolds. And yes, we do refer to our dog as "Deandra" when she's being bad.

It's incredible to me just how much she's grown over the past few months. She came to us looking like this

And now, she looks like this

That bow in her hair lasted about 4 seconds after we got her back from the groomer. She turns 1 on October 22, and there will definitely be a puppy party!
