The Cutest Puppy!

Alright... so I kind of jumped the gun and bought a puppy before a house. I've been looking at puppies for months knowing that I couldn't have one....but with the acceptance of our offer and finding the exact mix of dog I wanted I called up my mom and begged her to "puppy sit" for a week or two until we could move in. She was not very excited, "If you must..." was her response. All of a minute later I decided "Yep... I think I must". But every one else (with the exception of my dad and my family's other pets) was very excited ;). I think the rest are warming up to him though, How can you not love that little face?

So, Here's Koda, my little pomeranian/maltese:

He's extremely soft and furry, but he only weighs two pounds and he's only supposed to be six pounds full grown! He is so cute (especially when he is sleeping and not trying to eat the wall, my shoe, the cords, my hand, the carpet, etc...). When he's excited he hops, not walks :).

We'll hopefully be closing on our home sometime next week. I'm so excited! It definetly feels like it's been a long time coming (Our first offer for a home was made in July!).

Here's also a quick ode to my mom: Who does her best to dutifully frighten the teenage trick-or-treaters each and every Halloween.
