Adrienne

My mom bought a new puppy today :) A teeny tiny chihuahua! We already had a chihuahua named Rocky so we got a girl that looks JUST like him & named her Adrienne! Just like the movies, haha. We went to the mattress store to buy me a box spring and there was a pet store next door and that's where we saw her. This is pretty much the way every single pet we've ever owned has been purchased. She is 7 weeks old tomorrow and weighs less than 1 pound! She should get to about 4 pounds when she is full grown, which is HALF the size of Rocky. I will post some pictures soon. This brings the animal total at my parents' house to: 3 dogs, 2 inside cats, 2 outside cats & 1 bird. If Lucy & I still lived there it would be FOUR dogs! That cats are also recent additions...my aunt moved in and brought Jackson, Tommy moved back in and brought Jezebel, and some neighbors abandoned their cats which we now feed but they live outside, and we named them Stella and Orange Tiger (aka Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - courtesy of my 3 year old cousin).

I guess it goes without saying we are animal people. Adrienne is technically my mother's 50th birthday present to herself, which is funny because her birthday is next month and TODAY is my dad's birthday. But we asked permission before we bought her so that's fair, right? My mom got him tickets to see the Pats/Redskins game so that's got to soften the blow a little.
