Sunday, October 28, 2007 - This is the newest addition to our household. In celebration of the Red Sox World Series Championship, I wanted to name her Jacoby or Big Papi, but I was overuled. Meet Buttercup, born August 20, to Chocolate (her Cocker Spaniel mom) and Pepperoni (her Poodle dad).
Are we crazy to get a dog just as Mady begins her 2 1/2 year leukemia treatment? We don't think so... Mady's illness means we'll probably all be at home more, and her oncologist said it was absolutely okay. We've been talking about getting a dog for years and we recently found a breeder we like who currently has a bunch of lovely female Cockapoo puppies. We visited today, and fell in love.
I have a feeling that a cuddly puppy might be very thereputic and could help with the stimulation of those pesky Neutrophil (another name I suggested for the puppy) cells.
Why is she named Buttercup and not, say, Papelbon? That's a good question...
CONGRATULATIONS RED SOX!

Go Sox! That's a very cute puppy, I'm sure the little guy will get & give lots of love in the years to come.
Well Trey, if the Cardinals couldn't repeat, I'm glad it was the Sox! Mady, I plan to make your Madycakes soon...once I get the kitchen sink unclogged! Continued prayers and positive energy are being sent to all.
Cute puppyyy!
