meeting penny lane
So, Sara and I are getting a dog. We had originally agreed to wait until we had been married a year, but the stars all aligned a little earlier, so come March 21st we will be bringing home the newest addition to our family: a miniature long haired dachshund that we've decided to name Penny Lane.
As of this writing, Penny Lane is a little over two weeks old. We get her when she's eight weeks old. Apparently that's kind of the "everything's ok with the average puppy" point that a lot of breeders are comfortable handing them off at.
Last Friday Sara and I drove to Morehead to meet Penny Lane for the first time:
Sara fell in love instantly. She sits around the house thinking about puppies and watching videos on Youtube of dachshunds. It's pretty pitiful to watch.
My parents have a miniature dachshund. You should have consulted me before deciding to purchase one so that I could punch you in the face for deciding on this breed. Sara, just kidding. No need to defend your sissy husband here. Save it for when I really hurt his feelings.
Seriously though, I do an awesome German voice for it now. Next time I'm in Lex, I'll transpose it upon Penny Lane.
Reading this makes me absolutely giddy about what great parents you two will be some day.....when you're ready....lots of love to you both!
Sara's mom has a miniature dachshund and I love that dog, so I was pretty familiar with the breed. I'd love a bigger dog but we don't have enough house for that just yet. Also, you owned Nefti, so anything you say is suspect. FACE!!!
Also - thanks Julie!

And while it's not to the degree that Sara is, obviously, I'm pretty anxious myself to have Penny Lane around. I fell in love with Sara's mom's dogs. So, it'll be nice to have one of our own running around.
