Until a month and a half ago. I saw an ad for some new puppies near our home in southern Utah. I called the guy. Then I went to see the puppies. I didn't tell a soul. I didn't tell my kids. Definitely didn't tell my wife. I knew that if she knew anything about the puppies it would be a done deal. She's a sucker for dogs.
They were really cute. Later I told Mel my secret. And a few hours later we were in a car together driving to look at the puppies. And then we were driving home making plans for a future new member of the family.
We decided to keep the secret from the kids until we brought her home. Thursday night she became an official member of the family. The first order of business was that this family member needed a name. It felt like the windows of heaven opened (okay, slight exaggeration) and we felt inspired to name her......
LITTLE DEBBIE!
Here is a little video I shot of the big surprise:
This dog is ridiculously cute. Here are some pictures from her first hours at home:

Little Debbie will be a tremendous help to me on the trails in a few years. If I get tired while out on a run with her I can just ride her back to the car.
Aunt Jackie gets along well with her despite being a pest quite regularly. It won't be too long before Aunt Jackie is looking UP at Little Debbie instead of down.
Please pray for our family as we begin potty training.
