Her Name is Lola

It's time for a puppy post! We brought home our puppy last weekend. What can I say about it? We named her Lola and she is 1/2 Lab and 1/2 Australian Shepherd. She weighs 16 pounds already. She is cute and has been pretty good with the kids. The first two nights were pretty rough. She cried and whined a lot! Last night she did pretty great- waking up at about 1:30PM and then again at 6:30 AM. I think that's pretty good for a 9 week old!

It's been hard trying to keep Jackson out of the crate!

Nap timeIt's an adjustment for me to have one more thing to take care of and I am doing my best to keep a positive attitude. I have been reading lots of websites and the book The Loved Dog (thanks again Jeanette!) It's an adventure.

Congratulations on your purchase. Just make sure that you get him one of those spiky choke collars for walks. It sounds cruel but so worth the inhumanity.
