{Happy Adoption Day, Nola!}

Hey y'all!  Last Friday we celebrated Nola's 3 year adoption day!  Can you believe it's been that long?!  Seems like only yesterday I was signing papers on this sweet puppy.  You can read all about her adoption here.
 
To say she is spoiled is an understatement.
She loves to lay a huge guilt trip on me when I leave her {don't worry...her grandparents come babysit so she doesn't even have to be boarded!}
 She loves me, but Morgan is still her favorite person in the whole world.
She's developed a phobia of walking on the wood floors when her feet are wet... she fell once & she hasn't forgotten.  Crazy dog!
We take the holidays serious around our house & celebrate every one...costumes, flannel pj's, presents & all!
She might not look too thrilled, but don't let her fool you...she secretly loves it! Ha! =)
She got to experience her first snow & ice days.  She wasn't to sure what to think at first, but once she realized her toys & bones were buried under all that while stuff, it was game on!
She turned 3 in November {which of course we celebrated...but note to self, she does not like balloons}.
She still absolutely hates car rides, even if I take her to do fun things.  She goes into full on panic mode, shaking & slobbering everywhere.  Needless to say, we don't go many places.
I know she's "just a dog" to many, but y'all, she is seriously the best.  Don't get me wrong, some days I would love to just come home & do nothing, but nope - she's not going to let that happen.  Going for a walk is her absolute favorite thing in the world to do.  Just say the word & she will be sitting at the gate waiting to go....so we go just about every single day {even if it's at 10 o'clock at night}.  And she would play chase 24/7 if she had someone to play with her.  
She still doesn't sleep through the night {she takes 2 potty breaks on average}, but give her a dark room & her blanket and she will sleep to 10am on a Saturday morning if you let her.  And so for that I am thankful.  =)
She still sheds an extra dog every day and randomly chews up a shoe from time to time {& dryer sheets...those are her fav}....but I can't imagine life without her.
