Snow Day!

Today we woke up and decided to take Aspen for a walk. We just went around the block but she got pretty wore out. Then I decided to invite my friends over to help me build a snow fort in the middle of my yard. It turned out that most of them couldn't make it so I decided to invite the young men and young women in my ward. This was so much fun. We ended up building two forts, one in the middle and one over in the ditch. We had hot chocolate and donuts and Aspen was outside for most of it. The poor thing is really wore out now and asleep on the floor right now. She has really been outside very much and today was the longest that she ever had. She likes to wander around and smell everything. Dad is trying to talk me into letting her be a hunting dog but I don't want her to be. She's just supposed to be my little baby puppy. I'm already getting sore from all the shoveling, lifting, and packing for the fort. I'm definitely ready for a bed right now and it's only 6:41! I'm turning into an old person!

This is a blog all about mine and Aspen's adventures. So first off we'll start by introducing Aspen. Aspen is 6 weeks and 2 days old today. She was born December 8, 2009. Her mom is a lab/husky mix and her dad is a lab mix. She was the chubbiest girl of her litter and the cutest. She likes to play with her squeaky duck and run around outside. She is very friendly to all people but does like to bite. Her favorite chew toy is Mom's slippers. As of Sunday she was 7.6 pounds and 9 inches tall. That has already changed because I weighed her yesterday and she was already 8.4 pounds. She also likes to take long naps in the carrier or the floor and sprawl out on her back. We adopted her into our family on January 13, 2010. She was a birthday present for my 17th birthday, I had been waiting to get a puppy since I was about four and it was so much fun to get this one. She is such a sweet little girl. We've only had one incident where she got off her leash and was roaming around the house while we were gone. We're still working on getting her potty trained but she does pretty good. We love her already and I know that I'm more attached than I should be.
