Exactly One Week from Today,

[SirOliversMom]

we'll be on our way back home with our newest little girl Hope!:hearts:

I can't wait to see what the dynamics will be now with three. Will she favor Tammy or Oliver? What will she think of her new home? How will we make this transition easier for her? So many questions!! One week to go!

Here she is at the Ohio picnic:

Hope is such a beautiful young lady!! I love those little black & tan smooths!! :hearts:

We'll all be waiting to hear how she fits in with the rest of the pack - with lots of pictures.

Good luck :rayz: :rayz: for a smooth transition into the family. :)

[oti'smom]

Janet this is so exciting! Thank you for letting us share it. You are counting down the days, hours, minutes, I am sure!! She is so adorable and I am slightly jealous, but most of all very very happy for you! She is also a lucky little lady to be coming into such a loving home. I still love the photo with that look on your face that says it all, lol!!

:wavesmile: I can't wait either! Hope reminds me so much of my Ally. I sure hope the week goes by fast for you. I know the trip to go get her will seems like miles and miles till you finally get her in your arms! :hug2:

I can't wait either such wonderful people expanding their little four legged family. Pictures from eveyone I hope.

[SirOliversMom]

We are leaving when I finish work on Friday around 1pm. That should get us to Milford at about 8:10 pm or so. We will be staying with Lori and Mark and I think that Beckie will bring Hope down on Saturday. We'll spend the day and night again and leave to come home on Sunday!

Darren is going to map it out and we may just stop and see Dawn on our way back home.

I forgot to mention in my earlier post...I would take a blankie that Tammy & Oliver have slept on. Even one of the toys they have played with too.

She will be familiar with their scent. Just wrap her up in it so she gets to "know" her new sis & brother. :)

[fdcutee]

I'm so excited for you! She is a beautiful pupper.... :hearts:

[juliette]

Awwww..I can't wait to see her homecoming pictures!!

[Leslie]

awww too bad I have to work or else I would say make a pit stop in toledo! I would have love to have met you!

[Cocoa and Me]

Wow!! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to see the little girl with your two! :) How are you going to have the sleeping arrangements? Good luck with everything! Here are some :rayz: :rayz: :rayz: so everything goes how you'd like!! :)

[Julian&MistyMom]

Oh, Hope is such a sweetheart, Janet!! I can't wait to meet Oliver, Tammy, and Hope...and you and Darren too, of course!

[Heidi's Pam]

and I too hope that the week flies by quickly :seeya: and that you have a safe journey to pick up your new addition. Please take lots of pictures and update us as soon as you can! :bounce2:

[5weeniesmom]

:yahoo: How exciting it will be!!! Hope is such a pretty girl!! I can not wait to see pics of her along with Tammy and Oliver.:D

[Stanley's Mum]

What a doll! i can't wait for piccies! little Hope for you and Little Lindy for Connie... meant to be soul sisters. Its going to be cuteness overload for DBB real soon!

[SirOliversMom]

Hope is already in Ohio with her auntie Lori and uncle Mark :banana02: So she will already be there when we get there on Friday. We received a ransom email today from the Paynes...I have responded asking for proof of life. :D

Sleeping arrangements, well both of mine sleep with us in the big bed. And so I guess that's where she'll sleep. Oliver's spot is cuddled up to my chest and Tammy's is spread out along the sides of my legs. That would leave the head spot and the other side of my legs or curled up by my tummy for Hope.

This is my third doxie AND it's the third doxie that has stayed with Lori and Mark! I think that makes them their Godparents..

[juliette]

LOL..there is always the possibility that little Hope could want to snuggle with her big old Daddy Darren in the big bed :)

Hmm..the Paynes are holding your little angel for ransom are they? At least she'll be a much spoiled hostage!

[onebigmickeyfan]

Camera acting up. We are really bad kidnappers.:wavesmile:

Mark and I are very proud to be Oliver, Tam and Hope's godparents.:hearts:

[schroeders mom]

:flowerysmile: OH NO - You left Hope with Lori? You may never see her again :D !!!!

Tiny little Hope allowed to sleep with the bed THRASHER???!!! I wouldn't sleep a wink.

[SirOliversMom]

:flowerysmile: OH NO - You left Hope with Lori? You may never see her again :D !!!!

Um, it took bribes and I did ply her with booze, but I did get Oliver and Tammy away from her...SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT LORI!!!!

[Lillie's Mama]

HOORAY!! That's so exciting.... They will all get along very well, and they all are just too precious for words!

[Melisande]

What a sweet little face she has! Cant wait for pictures of her homecoming!!
