RUPP

Meet our newest little furry family member....RUPP! Ya'll know I bleed blue and have been talking about for over a year if we ever get another dog we were naming it Rupp (after one of Kentucky's famous coaches in case you are lost lol. Also Rupp Arena is where Kentucky plays all their home games).

When we found out that Sophie was so sick and we were going to have to say goodbye, I immediately was on the hunt for another golden retriever. I just could not fathom not having a dog nor could the kids. Nick on the other hand wanted to wait a little bit. So the plan was to get the kids a puppy for Christmas. That was until we got home Wednesday without Sophie. I searched and searched for an adult golden retriever. My best friend told me about the breeder she got her golden doodle from who also had golden retrievers. I looked them up on facebook and sent them a message. They were the sweetest people and answered my million and one questions. They had 3 boys left. We wanted a girl so we were going to go with the original plan to hold off til Christmas. But the more I talked to others they liked having a male dog over a girl. So I messaged the breeder some more. By Thursday evening or maybe Friday they had one male left!! Well, as you can see he is now ours!! We drove to Richmond early on a Saturday  morning to see him and bring Rupp home. The kids were smitten and so were Nick and I. He is the perfect addition to the family. Oh, and we had to stop by Rupp Arena for an obligatory picture after Rupp's namesake!!
