Our new baby ❤️

Easter Sunday 2014 was especially exciting for my family, we were able to finally see family for the first Easter in years! We celebrated the Lord, with loved ones and we became parents to a precious baby girl. At only 9 weeks old she stole my heart. 

Her perfect fluffy coat, and instinctive love for me won me over. She was "supposed" to be an outside dog, however after doing some soul searching and research I needed her inside. So we brought her in after only two days and amazingly she is already house trained after only one week. God couldn't have blessed us with a better puppy. 

She loves Braeden, and he loves her! Every day, he runs downstairs looking for "Layla". He expresses to everyone she is his dog, however he doesn't realize she is his sister, and my baby aka dog. :) 

After struggling with depression for months, and having the help of medication... God knew what I really needed... I needed Layla. I needed the love of an animal, unconditional, and sincere. Someone who expects only the simple things in life and appreciates everything I do for her. From kisses, to snuggles, cuddles and special treats.. She warms my heart and I've only known her for a week. 

Some people will never understand how people can consider furry animals more than just a pet, but it's hard to put into words how happy she has made me. She isn't just our pet, she isn't just a dog, she is family, and mommy's little girl.  <3
