Welcome Bruno!

Our family has grown and we are the proud owners of a cockapoo… here is our sweet little Bruno Hazel Iyer!

We had told the kids we were getting a puppy in June but actually found one that was born in January (on the day the Seahawks won the NFC Championship-it was fate) and was ready to come home in March. Thanks to help from Gramps, Mesh being able to take some vacation days on the days I work, and spring break coming up, all the stars aligned and we were able to pull off getting a puppy during the school year.

Here is the story behind the selection of the name Bruno: I grew up with a golden retriever named Hoya because my dad went to Georgetown.  When Mesh and I started dating at Brown, we always said we would name our first dog after our college mascot Bruno.  Of course we thought we would have a chocolate lab male dog, but three kids and some dog allergies later, we have a female mostly white cockapoo pup named Bruno!  Nate wanted to have a say in her name so he gave her the middle name Hazel, after a character in the Percy Jackson books.

The big reveal on Thursday!

note from Ben :)

Bruno loves this dog bed our friend made!

It's hard to believe she just joined us on Thursday - we love our sweet Bruno!
