February 15, 2008 a little puppy was born in rural Oklahoma. 5 to 6 weeks later she would be delivered to us. Gina and I don't have kids yet so we thought we'd practice with a puppy. We brought the little ball of fur home and have watched her grow.
We named her Ladybug because she's part Boston Terrier and part Pug, a Bug, at least so we were told. She's also female so that's how we came up with Ladybug. Although she's female I'm not too sure about the lady part either.
We quickly found our natural roles with her upbringing. I found myself the trainer, the "corrections officer" and the rough-houser. Gina has taken care of the feeding, the bathing and walks and cuddles.
She knows lots of tricks and loves to put on her little dog show when people come over. She also likes playing with other dogs as long as they aren't twice her size. She barks when someone's at the door but only sniffs and licks (kisses) them when she realizes they are our friends.
Her "grandma" (Gina's mom) six doors down spoils her, like she should. Oh, and Ladybug doesn't care much for cats. Go figure. When I make the "kitty kittty kitty" call she rushes to the window on the lookout. She'll chase off anything in the yard we set her loose on, except for that one cat that always holds its ground.
If you haven't met Ladybug yet you'll have to stop by sometime.
