Meet Sugar Magnolia Lee

I married a "dog" guy, and I didn't like dogs. Sure, I had a puppy (Precious the Peek-a-Poo) when I was a couple years old, but I don't remember her. When I was 5, my dad's German Shorthair jumped up on me and scared me to death! Duke was just playing with me, but after that day, I officially did not like dogs. So fast forward almost 20 years and I meet Daisy, the crazy Golden Retriever. Daisy is Robert's parents dog, and Mr. Perry got her for his birthday after Robert and I had been dating for 2 years or so. I absolutely did not know how to handle this crazy puppy. I didn't learn this until years later, but there was a very serious Lee Family Meeting about me and my "dog skills" or lack there of! Literally every Lee is a "dog" person. Good thing they had faith I would come around! After Robert and I got married, he kept talking about getting a dog but I didn't want one until we had a fenced in back yard. I couldn't even think of having a big dog living inside. Well, do men ever listen? Of course not! So on August 29, within the first year of marriage and without a fenced in back yard, I became a Mom! Robert was really interested in American Bulldogs, and a breeder was selling them right down the road. I really didn't have a choice when I saw how excited Robert was about them! Sugar was 1 of 13 puppies, and they were all adorable! She was the runt of the litter, and was solid white with one black ear and one polka dotted ear.



Although, it took me a little while to adjust to "mommyhood", I can honestly say that I couldn't imagine my life without her. She is always excited to see me, always makes me feel better on a bad day, and always gives me very good sugars! To top it off, she is super smart. So, basically, Robert was right (he has it in writing now), and now I am a "dog" person too! Our little Sugar Magnolia will be 1 years old on July 12. Knowing how much I love this sweet puppy, I can only imagine how much I will love our children one day!
