Well she is finally here! Eakin and I left Saturday morning to head to Tennessee to go get our new addition!
We stopped in Franklin and met up with Eakin's friend Hugh Mitchell who lives in Nashville and had lunch and walked around downtown. Franklin is truly a charming town! Almost a "Mayberry" feel to it, but quite lovely. Many antique shops, a city square, and a even a old theatre they are trying to save. After our fabulous lunch at Sol in downtown Franklin, we said farewell to Hughie, and headed another hour toward Morrison, Tennessee and to the Hickory Glenn Farms.
Doesn't this look amazing?! Tuna Nachos, which was incredible! I had to take a picture!
We met the breeder, Sheba, who had so many animals! There were roosters and chickens running around, along with pigs, and of course many and many dogs.
After arriving and signing all the papers, she showed us our new baby! We then took a tour of the farm and met her brothers and sisters, and her parents Montana and Sparky.
After we brought her home, she was so tired from everything that she slept the entire night by herself in her cubbie. The next day we had brunch with Eakin's parents and she met her cousins, Bebe, Cami, and Gatsby. We were all nervous at first, but she dove right in and fit in perfectly!
After playing with everyone, she was so exhausted and took a nap in her little basket that Paden had for Gatsby when he was little. Don't you agree that there is nothing cuter then a puppy sleeping in a basket??
....and so the adventure begins....she is growing and learning more everyday, so I'm sure this blog will have many more adventures with Miss Lila....
