Watson

Never underestimate the power of a persuasive letter.

Lorelei wrote us a letter before Christmas asking if she could possibly get a puppy for Christmas. This included an extensive list of why she would love to get one and how she would take care of it. Basically it caused our resolve to "buy her a puppy as soon as she is out of the house and can take care of it" to waver. After a quick google of the breed we had decided could possibly work (Havanese - hypoallergenic, non-shedding, very trainable), we told her we would need to hold off due to cost. A month or so later she spent some time researching and it was less expensive than good ole Google informed us. She also found a local breeder who was very responsive and excited about Lorelei's goals for a puppy. While I would have much preferred waiting until summer when she wasn't juggling as much school work, a litter was available in February, so Lorelei got her "Little Valentine's Chocolate" on Valentine's Day. 

She chose the name Watson Wicket. We loved the idea of a bookish name and Watson felt like the right fit for this puppy. Wicket is the name of an Ewok from Star Wars...because Aunt Heather said he looks like an Ewok and could we please name him Wicket. ;)

So, here are the many Adventures With Watson thus far.

Lots of laughs.

More walks is a plus.
