Puppy Days! Pic's may be overkill:)

This is being written by one very sleepy, mind frazzled, pee stinking dog owner! O the joys! Gabe and I are so in love with our new girl! When people say that a puppy is like a baby- they are right, good news is she sleeps through the night! Bad news is she doesn't want to go outside, once she's out there, she doesn't want to come back inside. She only walks a few steps at a time, then will stop and sit:the whole leash things is foreign to her. I understand that a farm dog might not really get the concept of going to the bathroom on cement, but yesterday we went into the backyard and she watched Gabe and I chase each other around, not interested in joining us at all!!

Amazing things she does...sleep:), she already loves her crate (I was dreading having to train her on that), she is super shy but enjoys meeting new people (that's good bc I had 15 girls over here last night for a baby shower), and making Gabe and I puddy in her paw!

Friday, I was home from work and took her to the vet- I had to walk 3 avenues and about five blocks- After carrying her across 4th Ave (she's 26 pounds) and an hour of tugg, walk walk, tugg, walk walk...we called a car service to pick us up (I NEVER do this, bc we are to cheap- for those that don't know- we don't have a car, and really never need one). Once we left the vet, and got another car...we chilled for the rest of the afternoon. I had to work Friday night so she was home about an hour alone- When Gabe got home from work she was in a poop filled crate. It took him an hour and a half to clean it all out!

Saturday was fine, we were hanging out on our front stoop, and went walking occasionaly (a few feet every so often). We were getting ready for the baby shower and she just hung out. Then the ladies started arriving. We were outside for about 15 minutes greeting everyone- she was super hesitant and a bit overwhelmed but over all she did very well. As soon as we went inside she peed- hmm, not the smartest girl...So I ran her back outside to re-enforce "we go out to pee!", she went in her crate and hung out in the kitchen for most of the party.

She did come out after a while and was the star of the show!
Here are some random pictures of our life over the last few days! Or shall I say- her life!
