Isn't she cute? It's a good thing.

There is something so special about waking up to a pile of puke in the middle of the living room that Daisy has left for me. Last week her puke contained a plastic bad, a bottle cap and an unidentified object. What is it about items in puke that sets the gag reflex to overdrive?

One of my most favorite things to do is clean up a steamy pile of poo because apparently when we let her out right before bed, she forgot she had to poop. The smell that greets me as I walk into the kitchen to pour my coffee is dreamy.

I also love how much she needs me. She has an ear infection about once a quarter. It requires three separate medicines in each of her ears and two pills wrapped in bread
twice a day. More time that I get to share with her. So sweet.

Especially fun is cleaning up the trash from all over the yard when she has ripped through it looking for a bottle cap or plastic bag to eat. We make a game out of it. What didn’t Daisy choose to eat?

She does have some redeeming qualities. Here.

Because we have lost our minds, drum roll please. We have decided to get her a friend.

Meet “her friend.”

This sweet little pile of goo needs a name and we need your help. He was born on March 3rd and will be coming to join our family at the end of April. He is a chocolate lab and we expect that he will be LARGE which is exactly what I was looking for as J travels on occasion and I like to go for long runs and I want a scary looking dog that is really good with our kids.

How freaking cute is he? I just want to sneak over there every evening and curl up next to him for a long night's sleep.

Please help us name the newest member of our family. If we choose your name, I will send you this cool bag. So. I guess it’s kind of a contest.
