Taylor has been looking forward to moving out of the dorms for several reasons, but the most exciting is so she could get a puppy. I told her I wanted to get the puppy for her. To be completely honest, it's as much a gift to my parents as to Taylor. When I got Zoey, (who's about 40 lbs.) I didn't realize that I would have to have a yard after college in order to be able to keep her. Since, Cody and I don't have a yard, my parents had to adopt her (and Jack for that matter). It is so hard to part with these animals, b/c they become your family. So, I wanted to make sure Tay got a puppy small enough that she could keep it in an apartment if she needs to once she graduates. (And, so my parents don't get yet another Johnson kid dog.)
Taylor wanted to get a small breed that doesn't shed. So, we have been looking for the last few weeks for the perfect puppy. In the Dallas newspaper there was an add for these precious poodles. I showed Taylor and she fell in LOVE! So, Sat. morning she flew to Dallas, we checked out the puppies, and she found HER dog! She picked the sweetest, cutest puppy! He is 2. 4 lbs, and will probably be about 6 or 7lbs. full grown. She named him Stanley! :)
Cody and I are going to keep Stanley until Taylor finishes with her finals at the beginning of May. The timing works out perfectly. Since he is so tiny he will need lots of attention, making sure he eats and drinks enough, etc. Cody works out of the house most of the day, so we will be able to keep a close eye on the little guy. By the time Taylor gets him, he will be finished with his last round of shots, and out of that baby baby stage. Hopefully we will turn over a happy, healthy, potty trained puppy.

Yay for Stanley! He is absolutely ADORABLE. Have fun with him, Taylor :)
we love stanley....woof woof!!!:) super cute!!!:)
So if I get a Lab puppy, do you think you and Cody could keep it for a couple of months and potty train it and then I could get it?!!! Just a thought. Taylor, your puppy is adorable!
I think Cody might leave me! haha... At 3:00am last night, Cody woke up to Stanley biting his nose, ears, anything he got get his little teeth on. Cody then woke me up asking me to remind him why he agreed to take in Taylor's puppy! :)
Thanks for posting the picture. I don't know who is the cutest -- Taylor or Stanley!! They both are adorable! Love, Nana 1
Poor Cody!!! Kirby, Nana, Tyler, Mary Helen and I got to hold Stanley and he is cuter in person. It was one of those moments I will remember a lifetime. Here they come in a big black Truck and out hop Wilson and Stanley ...a bit of a disconnect. The only thing that would have top this scene is if Taylor had named Stanley ..Rambo!
How cute! I wish I could have a puppy!
