Meet Maddie

We got a dog!

On Saturday, Derek and I took a road trip up to Waco to meet a little dog looking for a good home. We found Maddie on petfinder.com and fell in love at first sight.

Her foster mother told us that the dog was abandoned anonymously at the Waco Humane Society about a month ago. Life in the shelter was way too stressful for her, so one of the employees took her home for foster care. We are incredibly grateful that someone noticed what a sweetie she is and worked with her so much to get her ready for our family.

After a long trip back home in the car, Maddie was happy to explore her new home. She smelled every inch and quickly found her favorite spot for snuggling and watching the cars go by.

Cute, right? Maddie is definitely mostly poodle but she is the littlest one we have ever seen. She is 3 years old, so this is as big as she will be. We are pretty sure she may have had a run in with Rick Moranis at some point, but we will never know for sure.

The first day we just cuddled non stop and got to know each other. On Sunday, we decided it was time for a walk in the park. It started like this...

And ended like this...

She got a little tired. No shame in that!

Currently, Maddie is snuggled up between us on the couchbed watching House Hunters and enjoying a tummy rub. It doesn't get much better than that.
