Meet the new additions to our family!

When I moved in with Matt (yes..we live together and we aren't married yet ..gasp!!), Cali came with me..DUH!

Well, Matt decided that he was outnumbered and began looking for a little boy puppy to add to our little family.  We looked around for a while, but I wasn't totally convinced that it was the right time to bring a puppy into our lives.  That all changed when we found a listing on Craigslist (of all places!) for a couple who had an accidental litter of Golden Retriever/Chocolate Lab puppies.  We went and first visited the puppies at the beginning of May when they were about 4 weeks old.  Matt sat down and one fat, fluffy little puppy came up and sat right beside him the whole time.

Matt decided that this little guy chose him and we had to bring him home. I, on the other hand, was smitten with a tiny little girl who was beating up on all the other puppies around her.

(She's the one in the back)

I was convinced that SHE was the one that needed to come home with us.  Matt totally disagreed because she was not 1) male or 2) fat and fluffy like he wanted.  He instead came up with another idea.  He decided to get me the feisty little girl as a birthday present.  So, we would be coming home with two puppies, instead.  I thought this would be way too much and went back and forth on the idea.  Two weeks later, we went to pick up the little boy and as soon as I saw the puppies, my mind was made up! 

(Super excited on the way to bring the puppies home!)

Of course, I just HAD to take her home with us! She was so sweet and cuddly and I couldn't imagine leaving her behind.  Plus, I had figured that it would be easier for the puppies to adjust coming home together.

(First trip to PetSmart!)

We decided to call the little boy Farley, because we will be getting married at the Farley Plantation in Milner, GA.  The little girl we named June because of Matt's love for Johnny Cash (June was his wife's name, in case you didn't know) and we will be getting married in June! :)

We took them up to the lake the same weekend we brought them home and they had so much fun playing in the water, getting loved on, biting fingers and toes, and of course, sleeping a lot!

They have grown so much since we brought them home and it makes me so sad! They just turned 14 weeks old and Farley is about 23 lbs, while June is about 18.

They are a mess and I feel like our house has now turned into a ZOO, but I cannot imagine not having them here!
