I didn’t tell you earlier but Steve, Sarah and I are pregnant! With a new Smith family member!
We will “give birth” around midnight tonight to a five-year old, 6-pound girl doggie. (Midnight is when Steve is arriving from the faraway place where he had to go to pick her up.)
Even though it’s a school night, I will get Sarah up right before Steve arrives so that the three of us can welcome this newest Smith member to our family together.
We’re all a little bit nervous. A lot excited. And a little sad, since tomorrow is the one-month anniversary of Snowy’s passing.
In fact, this morning was the first time I could get up the courage to go out to his grave since the day we buried him. I stood a while. And cried. And smiled. And remembered.
I’m hoping Snowy doesn’t actually turn over in his grave at the thought of being replaced by a GIRL! (Let’s not tell him, okay?)
The three of us are really pumped about the thought of having pitter-pattering little feet in the house once again. It’s been a lonely four weeks around this dog-less Smith home.
The whole story (and I’m sure lots of pictures) will follow tomorrow.
When my lab puppy passed away rather unexpectedly the only time I wasn’t crying was when I thought about having a new pup to love, they can never replace the pet that has gone on before but it sure does help heal! So happy for you and my money is on another Maltese…being a Maltese owner myself that breed is hard to resist!

Kim, Maltese was definitely high on our list but we thought we would try a fresh start with the Yorkie. And you’re right–another pet does help the heart heal.
Awesome! I’ve been waiting to hear this news.
Wonderful! Can’t wait to see photos of the newest Smith!
woof and love to the newest Smith
So glad you are getting another family member. Anxious to see the pictures and know her name.
Yay!!! In just a few days I can see her! Oh the fun we will have taking photos!
I’m so happy and excited for all of you! I’m assuming that this is a rescue dog…if so, thank you so much for rescuing. All of our pets are rescues, and they make the best family members ever! I’m sure Snowy had a paw in picking this perfect little girl for your family. Can’t wait to see pics of the newest little Smith!! I sure hope she turns out to be a writer like Snowy was!
So excited for you! What a lucky little girl!
Hooray!!!!!!
I am so happy for you and your family! Congratulations! I will be looking forward to all the pictures of the new memeber of your family. I can remember when our Welsh Corgi passed away, the house was so quiet. So about 3 weeks later we got a new doggy from the humane society here in town. It was really nice to hear little feet running around the house again.
Shawn, little feet running is a wonderful sound, isn’t it? (Especially after a dog has passed away.)
Karen, I can’t wait to see the pictures (that I take) either! 🙂 It will be fun to have a doggie photo subject again.
Awww … I am SO happy for all of you and can’t wait to see pictures!
Pam, yep, you timed that pretty well, didn’t you? 🙂
Oh my goodness, congratulations!!! Cannot WAIT to here all about your new addition!! 😀 And, no worries, I will spare Snowy the details. Although, I’m pretty sure he may have had something to do with this. 😉
*hear (embarrassing – ha!)
Yes, we must certainly keep this latest development from Sir Snowy. Being replaced by a female was NOT in his plans!
oops, sorry. I accidently put two signatures on mom’s comment.
Hooray!
Love Deb and guys
Thanks, Deb, for the part you played in all this. ; )
Dear Ones,
I am just as excited as everyone else about the new little member coming to live with you!
Thanks so much, Sarah, for the sweet note I got today!
Much Love,
Mom and Grandma Campbell
Much Love, Mom
Thanks, Mom. Always nice to see your name pop up here. Love you!
Congratulations! I can’t wait to see pictures. 🙂
Sarah, I’m quite there will be lots and lots of pictures!
Oh joy and happiness! And even MORE joy and happiness for ME, because I will get to meet this shiny new family member in a few days and take PICTURES of her!!! Eeeep!!! (and I feel sure that Snowy is giving two paws up to any girl who can make his mama and sister smile again…..)
Eek! How exciting! Is she the same breed as Snowy? Much as I’m sure his manly pride is still intact at Rainbow Bridge, I’m sure he’ll be loving the fact he can be the protective big bro guardian angel doggy for her!
Rebecca, I’m afraid the breed announcement will have to wait until The Big Reveal tomorrow! 🙂 But she is a small breed, if that helps at all.
I’ll keep checking back then :)!
Thanks, Michelle, We can’t wait to meet her!
Congratulations Smith Family!! Can’t wait to see pictures of your newest family member 🙂
