SQUEEEEEEE!

Last night I went to a fancy charity auction with my roommate. It was to benefit the adoption agency she works for and it was a blast. We dressed up nice 'n' fancy, then went and sipped champagne and each won an item in the silent auction. I got two tickets for a theatre company in Redmond (about 30 mins away) and I think I'll use them in April for their production of A Doll's House. I remember reading it in high school and loving it. Depressing in the best theatrical way. Then there was a delicious dinner during which they had a regular auction, complete with super-fast-talkin' auctioneer. It was amazingly entertaining to hear him and watch other people bid. The best was a woman who fought hard for VIP Kiss tickets, didn't get them and then went on to win tickets to Oprah's day after the Oscars party. KISS....Oprah. I like this lady. Then Liz bid on a puppy for her sister who had said, "Just put in the first bid." Someone won the first puppy for $350. The second puppy came up and Liz went ahead and put in a first bid again...AND WON IT. We were shocked, SHOCKED. No one else even bid! Liz panicked a bit - "Oh my gosh, I hope she meant it BECAUSE WE HAVE A PUPPY!!!"

Surpriiiiise! Now feed me and care for me for life.

She's half beagle half they don't know what ("The father is an unknown Don Juan," read the description). We picked her up and took her home for the night. She was a little scared and whiny so I took her out of her carrier and held her on the way home - so warm and soft and snugly and precious and unbearably lovable.

Bow to my pwecious snugwy wugwiness, puny humans!

I chew your stuffs?

At home she trotted around, sniffing and playing and jumping and exploring. We got down on the floor and she just hopped around and covered us in kisses and tried to wrestle and play and I LOVE HER. I'm glad Caitlin will have her since we can't have pets. 1. No dog could hope for a better home, Caitlin is the best dog mommy. 2. We'll get to see her at Thanksgiving and whenever we visit! I'm a proud God mother.

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!
