One Week In

It's been a week and 1 day since we got our new bundle of joy! And she is pure joy! I was optimistic Landon would adore having a "dog" sibling. I was right! As each day goes by he enjoys her more and more! As for her, each day that goes by she gets more comfortable in her new family and home.  On the Piper front, she likely fails to see the benefit of another havanese, but she is acting normal. She has not gone into hiding or anything like that. This little one has blended into the family very nicely so far.

So what is her name...welcome to our family...Scarlet Mia Vaughn!  In the end we went with Scarlet! Oh my, oh my! We mentioned months and months ago...probably back in November that the little girl would be named Scarlet. Then along about early February(before we knew of this little one) I started to change my mind. I was fearful of the haters! Fearful of those that would laugh and make comments based on the fact that I am so known for loving the color red. Worried that people would say..."oh of course she named the first girl dog she got Scarlet, she's so RED obsessed!" Well let the jokes begin! I finally came to the conclusion....I don't give a darn! So what...I love the color red and now we have a little girl named Scarlet. And yes, notice I even chose to spell it with only one T and not 2. Because scarlet is the color way to spell it. Scarlett is usually how most people spell it when using it as a name. We're going all the way with it...Scarlet just like the actual color! We spent all last week obsessing about names. Trying out and vetoing names rapidly. Finally yesterday morning after living with this nameless baby girl for a full week, the name Scarlet popped into my head as the first thought in my mind when I woke up. At that very moment it was a done deal! 

So the trio now consists of: Piper Ava, Landon Leo, and Scarlet Mia.  They all have English origin names and they all have 3-letter middle names.  

Officially introducing little Scarlet...
