New Member of the family!

So DH is battling metastatic rectal cancer that has spread to both lungs. We’ve been married 17 years this last Saturday. For 17 years, I’ve wanted a dog and he has been ADAMANTLY opposed. The last few months, he’s been saying he wants to get a dog. I think he’s lonely at home alone during the day. I’ve been saying “maybe when you’re up and around, I’m working 2 jobs, I don’t know that I can take on a puppy too”. He said “okay, you’re probably right”.
 
So cut to last week, I was talking to a friend who I haven’t spoken to in a while. I mentioned to her that DH wanted a dog. She said “OMG! I know a woman who just had a litter and has a boy and a girl left”. So Saturday, I told DH I needed to run errands, DS and I went and met this woman. She has been breeding Lhasa Apsos for years. We fell in love with both of them but decided on the little boy. I emptied my $5 jar (Pinterest idea, every time you have a $5 bill, put it in a jar and let it accumulate until the end of the year, then buy something you want).

DS named him Dakota, brought him home on Saturday and brought him in to DH (who’s pretty much bed bound) and said “Happy Anniversary!”. Dakota has not left his side.
He was 14 weeks yesterday and thankfully was pee pad trained. I’m going to start working on taking him outside once he sees the vet on Friday and acclimates a bit more.

Here’s the pictures I have of the cutie.
