Okay, so I haven't posted in awhile, so thought this would be a good time to go ahead and post and tell you about the new addition to the Toto family. He's small, cute, and furry. His name is Romeo and and he is a full blooded golden retriever. He's too cute. I went to Tulsa yesterday and got him for Phillip. It was a huge surprise. A few weeks ago, Abby's guinea pig, Snowball, died. The kids took it pretty hard. Well, we had been talking about getting another pet. Well, I was looking at small dogs and all Phillip could talk about was a golden retriever and how he wanted one. Well, I thought he was just giving me a hard time. Saturday night, we got together with Phillip's family and met his sister's golden retriever. Phillip fell in love and begged me to get one. I said absolutely not. All weekend he asked and told me about how he's wanted one for a long time. Well, I decided that since he always gives me such great surprises that I would surprise him with a puppy for Valentine's day. Monday morning I looked for Golden Retriever Puppies in NWA with no luck. I called Phillip's sister to ask where they got their puppy. She looked in the paper and found Romeo. I came up with a reason to go to Tulsa for the day and picked him up. The kids were at Phillip's mom's house and wanted me to stop by so they could meet Romeo. I got Phillip to come over to his mom's also. When he got there I was holding Romeo and Phillip just stared at me. I told him that this is Romeo and still looked at me. Then I told him that this is his puppy. He was so excited. He couldnt' believe that I had actually got him one. Romeo spent his first night in his new home and did really well. He's had a few accidents on the carpet, but is doing great. Candi and Shalom aren't quite sure what they think yet. Below is a picture of Romeo. He's such a sweet boy and love to hug, cuddle, and kiss. We picked a good name for him.
