Last day of just nugget and mamamuffin...

We are so excited to report that Dennis's mom is going to allow us to adopt a three month old Jack Russell Terrier in her custody. I'm so happy I can hardly contain the joy!!! My love nugget is also thrilled about being a big brother. He'll get to teach the newest nugget everything he knows. Dennis is bringing the newest pup back with him from North Carolina (Dillon, SC to be exact). Well I learned the day Dennis left for SC, on Thursday, that our adoption was 98% sure, but I didn't want to get my hopes up, so I tried to live in the 2% world. I did, however, call up Carrie to tell her the good news and she had the BEST idea about a name for the new pup- Dillon!!! How awesome and Matt absolutely loved the idea. So I've decided on Dillon Murphy. I can't wait. I took some pictures of me and my nugget's last night by ourselves. Muffin likes ear kisses...me not so much, but he got a good one in for the picture!





Aussie also got himself "trapped" in the kitchen today. I was upstairs and the nugget went downstairs to venture into the land of independence...but he was gone too long. I went to check on him, in case he was resting by himself and then I didn't want to disturb him. I snuck a peak over the railing and noticed he was looking out from the gate in the kitchen. ??? What ??? The gate must have closed (somehow?) behind him and he thought he was locked in! He was just hanging out, I guess waiting for me. I went down there and told him to "come" and he pawed at the gate, which opened easily b/c it wasn't locked! He then decided to hang out quietly under the bed, but I found him :)
