On Friday, March 19th, Emily and I drove to the General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to pick up our first Canine Companions for Independence puppy: Anna!
Anna and Emily seconds after we received her from cargo at General Mitchell.
The ride was 'long and boring' according to Emily. But, 'the puppy was worth it.' She is ADORABLE, DOCILE, SOOOO SOFT. When you hold her she goes all limp. I call her the Lump of Love. She is so chilled that she let Emily hold her in her lap for the entire one hour and forty minute ride home.

Emily and I created a scavenger hunt for Ben and Ayden, who were delighted to find Anna as The Prize at the end! After school the entire neighborhood came to our yard to welcome the little one who has a high call on her life.
Ben and Anna. 
Ayden and Anna.

We are looking forward to the many adventures with this darling CCI puppy that we'll be raising. And, we can't wait to share the stories of our journey here with you. Thanks for reading. Please visit Raising Love again soon.
With Love and Eager Anticipation,

Anna is SOOO cute! I hope she's as sweet and innocent as she looks in those pictures! How is she doing?
ReplyDeleteAnna has a sister named Angel, but she's yellow! I guess Anna must take after her daddy Lawrence (he's black). I know Angel's puppy raisers would love to be in touch, is there any way to contact you?
