I apologize for neglecting the blog for quite sometime. Although we were home most of July (which is a rarity) we stayed pretty busy. We enjoyed weekend visits from both of our parents, enjoyed getting together w/ our supper club group, biked a lot and tried to stay cool. We did finish off the month w/ a trip to SanDestin, which was much needed. Jason had one of his busiest months at work and I also started a new job in mid-July (same bank--just new position). A trip to the beach came at the perfect time and provided a great way for us to wind down.
One of the primary reasons I haven't blogged is b/c of our new dog, Harper. Yes, we now have 2 dogs!! And yes, they are named after a character and the author from To Kill a Mockingbird. We have promised my mom we won't name our son, Atticus or a daughter, Scout...haha. Little Harper (a rescue Malti-Poo) from New Orleans entered our lives on July 5th :) He is high maintenance like most Maltese/Poodles (reminds me so much of my childhood dog, Cricket, which was a Maltese. However, he loves to cuddle, sit in your lap and gives kisses!! He is about 1 yr. old and thankfully he is not a chewer. He is doing suprisingly well and has adjusted well to his new home. Although he is considered a rescue dog, he actually did have a family. From what I know, he wasn't mistreated, just not given much attention....guess this is why he is so needy.
Here are a few pics below of Harper. Most of my recent nights have been spent playing w/ this precious puppy!!! As a type this he is sitting in my lap....he is a true lap dog :)
"Harper" Lee Pope surrounded by his favorite toys
He has already found the nicest couch in the house!
Loves to play/harass Radley.....Radley could care less about playing and prefers lots of naps!
They've taken over the couch in our bedroom and hopefully sleep peacefully here during the day. However, one day, I'm just waiting to come home to everything on our bookshelves in the floor....so far....so good!!
Radley still considers himself king of the house :)
