Elvis & Me

I'm into day 3 with Elvis. He went to work with me yesterday because I didn't want to leave him alone yet. Of course, everyone thought he was adorable.
I have been in all day today trying to get over a cold and sore throat. Elvis woke me up at 6:00 am this morning, so out we go to 'potty'. Then back in to have breakfast and play a while before taking a morning nap. Just like old times, I think, only this baby doesn't wear diapers. And guess where he sleeps? I said I'd never allow a dog in my bed, much less on my pillow, but this little weenie dog ends up practically wrapped around my neck before the night is over! Oh no, I've been suckered in.. I'm a dog mommy! I'm even talking baby talk to him! He is sitting on my lap at this very moment, taking a snooze.
A strange thing has happened since Elvis has been here. I didn't tell the man that I had gotten a puppy because I just knew he would gripe. When he came home from work Monday afternoon, Elvis and I were out in the backyard. I was pleasantly surprised to see a smile on his face when he came out to see this cute little puppy frolicking about. Needless to say, he was smitten. Elvis ran to him and won him over with a sniff and a smile! The ice was cracked a little, and as we watched little Elvis play I recounted the story of how my son and I located him and his brother Marty. Later after we came in the house the two of them were in the floor playing!

Hmmmm, what to think?

Almost time for American Idol!

Later, ya'll
