Enter Doogan...

This weekend was pretty busy, I hardly played WoW because of the arrival of our new puppy -- Doogan!

Friday night, Kels and I went to Studio Movie Grill in Addison to see Sahara -- an action/adventure/comedy based on the Clive Cussler book of the same title. I was pleasantly surprised, mainly because reviews had panned the movie. I suppose that's why I enjoyed it so much, going in with no expectations helps. The story was not only intriguing -- involving archaeology, Civil War history & mystery, good action scenes and medical drama -- but the comedy was really good. Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey) & Al Giordino (Steve Zahn) are treasure-hunter/explorers searching for a mysterious Civil War "ironclad" that disappeared with a secret treasure. Zahn is hilarious, McConaughey is believable as a leading man/action hero. The only thing that lacked was the character of Eva Rojas (Penélope Cruz). I just can't stand her acting -- or lack thereof. We got home around 11ish and decided to turn in...

Saturday we woke, excited about driving nearly four hours to Muskogee, OK to pick up our new puppy. We arrived early and waited on the breeder to arrive with the little fella. When she got there we were so pleased. The pup was just too cute for words. Kels grabbed him up and held him the whole time. Sherli gave us all the pup's paperwork, we made the exchange and headed home. Driving south we stopped a few times for "poop stops", but our nervous little passenger wasn't interested in that. He just ran around, tripping over his feet and making us laugh. We got home around 4pm and got
Doogan acclimated to the neighborhood and our apartment. He settled right in and promptly whizzed on the carpet... *sigh* Kels and Doogan went to my hockey game in Frisco, where we won (6-1) in a trouncing.

Sunday Kels had to work in the morning, so Doogan and I just hung out. Around 10:30am, we visited Kels at work and then I did some running around (hockey gear switch, supplies for the pup and an oil change). Doogan stayed home, pinned in the kitchen (or so I thought). When I got home, he was barking furiously at the window. Silly pup! Kels got home and we went for a walk, grabbing dinner at Oliver's. We all took a nap and woke in time to get ready to go to my game in Plano. We lost in overtime...grrr.

I'll have pics of Doogan up this afternoon once Kels gets home from work...he's soooooo cute!
