We Have a Puppy!


Well we went Monday to check out "Babe" at the Animal Welfare League in Crawfordsville. It took over an hour to get there, and the whole time, Dan was trying to convince himself that we would not be coming home with a puppy. When we got there, Babe and her sister Tink were playing together. Tink was actually the runt. Very petite, but quite aggressive. She was chasing and biting Babe most of the time. When she wasn't doing that, she was stealing her toys! It was determined quickly that Babe had a personality that would fit in our home. Very sweet and well behaved. After about a half an hour of playing and petting, we decided to take her home with us. It was so hard to leave her sister behind staring at us with that "where are you going?" look.

We got home fine. She napped on the floor by Dan's feet pretty much the whole ride, and when we got home, put her on the leash so she could "do her duty." That was confusing to her! I'm not sure she'd been on a leash before. She's pretty used to the leash now, and we are working on house training. Bladder control seems to be an issue, so we've gone through lots of paper towels! Thank goodness she pretty much keeps it on the hardwood floors - easy cleanup!

She will be going on a trip to the vet today, and hopefully will get a clean bill of health! Pictures will be coming soon!
