In the course of a 16-hour trip yesterday, Ryan and I became puppy parents! We are so delighted with Mackenzie, the newest addition to our family — and the first in more than four years of marriage. Our trip up north took us to the home of a puggle photographer extraordinaire, where we came face to face with an extra-small puggle whose picture online we'd fallen in love with about two weeks ago. She looks like a model in her professional portraits, taken just three days ago, and we love that she is so alert and playful.
Kenzie was a real trooper on the 7 1/2-hour ride home. As a result of being in such close quarters, in her bed on either of our laps for pretty much the entire time, she is already completely comfortable with us — and loves to cuddle, too. We went through six or seven puppy pads, at least — and in only two "rounds" of going potty!
She slept much of the time ...
and played ...
and slept some more ...
and looked out the window ...
She snoozed in my arms for a full hour at one point, showing off her cute paws and big puppy belly! Surprisingly, though, she's pretty selective about her food so far and doesn't eat it all at once. Just a kibble or two at a time.

Well, I must admit I wondered if perhaps there was a little Julie or Ryan Jr. on the way...but then I remembered that Aunt Debra did recently mention you wanting a puppy...Kenzie is adorably cute! Congrats!!!
Love the paws!! Great dog :)
What an adorable pooch! Congratulations on your new arrival. Hopefully, she sleeps on road trips and through the night.
Well, she isn't a grandchild, but she is an adorable puppy!! I am so impressed with the artificial grass, too....I can't wait to meet her!
