Well, clearly things changed at about 8 or so that night. I am still sticking with the story that somebody spiked my sweet tea. And it musta been with something pretty darn strong. Because somehow, what began as a little internet adventure in search of the dog behind this commercial, landed me at this site. How can that be, you say? Well, Im not really sure. All I know is that I was feeling a little dizzy and my head was spinning a bit.....but yet, I kept looking.
What happens next is still a little fuzzy to me. Sunday morning comes along and all I know is that I came home from the grocery store and the kids had their coats on, the snack basket was packed, the water bottles filled, and S had made me a turkey and swiss sandwich. (To Go).
A few hours later and after many, many heartstrings had been pulled, we were headed back home, but now as a family of 6.
Friends, meet Darby. Shes about 8 weeks old and the cutest thing you ever did see.
We rescued Darby from a no kill shelter about an hour away from our house. Her mama had been found in a live trap. Somebody called the shelter and they went out to rescue her....and, well, the rest is history. She ended up having 7 pups in her litter. 5 boys and 2 girls. Darby was the last one left. She was also the second to the smallest.See? She weighs in at a hefty 3 lbs.
It was a long day for little Darby. She is all tuckered out.
But come this morning? Id have to say she was all rested up.
There were a few growls at the couch.
Some definite escape paths routed out.
Her and J shared some secrets.
And she had some belly rubs.
Come here, Darby.
Yeah, thats it.
Good girl.
Okay, well, thats a little too close.
And, of course, she chewed on her bone.
She was so fast at times that I couldnt even get her in the picture.
And about the point where I was about ready to succumb to pure exhaustion....she managed to do it first.

So cute and cuddly! How could you resist? Welcome Darby. You have found a good home.
I don't know WHAT your tea was spiked with, but it sure did a job on your head.. I'm just sayin!! I'm sure glad you changed your mind..the kids and S adore her, and I bet the chickens will love her too.. she can be the chicken herder.. yea..and she'll probably help gather eggs.. she'll make a good farm dog.Good idea Marc.

That's a great addition to the family, and no doubt she will be a big help around the farm when you get it. Congratulations!!!!!
Awwwwwww!! Welcome to the family Darby, you're adorable!!! :)
Welcome to your new home, Darby Pixie Bella Stinky (Insert Last Name Here)! Love that shot of you on the scale. You have incredibly intelligent eyes and a very sweet face. But be a good girl now and eat all your food so you can put on some weight. I'd hate for that crazy wind around there to blow you away! :-)
OHMYGOSH!! Darby is simply adorable! I'm glad you got a rescue pup. And I know just how dangerous that petfinder.com can be.......
Give Darby a smooch for me. She is such a little cutie.
ohhhh she is adorable. Now I don't have to get another one I can just come see yours. Kelly
Well for goodness sakes! Your tea AND you DH's tea must have been spiked. Let me know what it was, so I can pour some in Lee's tea. :) I want a donkey or two.
Cutie, cutie pup!
A-doey-ble! How big will she get?
Oh you are in trouble now. She is the cutest little thing and looks like a ball of fun.
The girl and i were checking our your new pup, cracking up at those poses. Congrats on the new family member.
What is up with the white dogs?
So cute! Now G will have a new little sister to play with. He's not the baby anymore!
Oh, oh, oh...she is just too cute! What great pics. Enjoy your new baby! Kim
Bil: Thanks!
Farmer Jen: I couldnt resist! But I had to get outta there or it coulda been trouble.
Ma: It was a good idea! Even tho she gets up at the crack of dawn.
Greywolf: Oh yeah, im sure she will be a huge help. She is a terrier after all. Dont they chase things?
farm mom: Thanks, lady. She is super sweet.
Danni: She is eating like a good girl. But the wind is still knocking her over.
Penny: Smooch given. Thanks for that.
Kelly: Were you gonna get another?
CeeCee: I actually think maybe it was S that spiked my tea....I cant be sure, but he seems like a likely culprit.
Gnightgirl: Not sure...maybe 10 lbs.
Egghead: Oh shes fun allright...just wish she was fun at say, maybe 8 am instead of 5.
Sugarcreekstuff: She pounces. Like a cat. Its very funny. Anf funny that. All of our dogs have been white. We clearly have a thing for white dogs and green vehicles.
j.j.: Ohhh, a little sister. Good idea.
IF: Thanks! Shes a handful, but so precious.
I think what sugarcreekstuff meant about the white dogs...is that SHE has a white dog and I have a white dog and now YOU have a white dog. Maybe we should start a club. A white dog club. We could do t-shirts... I love clubs with t-shirts. And necklaces.
ha ha ha ha ha ha
Oh. ahahahahahha...This lack of sleep thing is really catching up to me. Yes. Lets do that. A group. (totally just got distracted. Can you even believe it?) Had to clean up hot dog juice. Then I saw that it got all in my deli drawer...which of course meant that I had to take the drawer out and clean that.... Love that.
Okay, so....who wears the t-shirt? Us? Or the dog?
Such a cute little one. I'm sure she's enjoying her new home.
