And then Mildred Agnes Estel came along an stole our hearts

Matt and I have wanted a puppy since we got married. Our first apartment in Chicago, we could not have pets. so that solved that problem.... 

When we moved to Michigan, we decided we definitely wanted a place that we could have a dog. Then, we moved and decided financially we should wait a bit. 

Then we put it off more when we decided we shouldn't have a puppy during our first Michigan winter... 

we obviously couldn't wait. We have been looking for a puppy for about a month. We started looking at the humane society. They didn't have what we wanted. Matt and I both wanted a small dog. We live in a 2 bedroom upper duplex and we didn't want a big dog here. 

On Wednesday night, we found a puppy listed on ebay classifieds. She won our hearts. I called the lady and she said she still had all 3. We said "we will be there tomorrow". I went to work that night and Matt picked me up after my shift and we went straight to the ladies house, an hour away. She had 2 females. We literally had the hardest time making our decision! They were both so cute! 
She is a jack russell terrier and maltipoo (maltese and poodle) mix. 

 this little white and cream fluff ball won our hearts. 






We drove there saying "we cannot come home with a dog today". We were hoping to have the lady keep her until Saturday (today). That didn't happen. We were too in love. We brought her straight home.

Mildred "Mille" Agnes Estel


Matt never had a dog growing up. Can i just tell you, he is smitten. 

but how can you not be?!?! look at her...

We had game night at our place last night and had about 14-15 people over. I was a little worried about how that was going to go over with the new pup. She was such a champ! She loved every minute of it! She, of course, got the most attention ever. 




We are so in love.
