Lily was 4 months old when we got her - we picked her up the day after school got out. We went and saw her about a month before that, but I wanted to wait until school got out to take her home so she could have all of our attention! She is now 6.5 months old. We got Roscoe when he was 8 weeks old, he is now 11.5 weeks old. I initially was going to wait until next summer to get a second puppy, but decided Lily needed a companion, especially since we'll be going back to school soon
