Welcome Home Gordy, Welcome Home











So we got our puppy. I'm sure you are all sighing in relief as she is all I have been talking about lately....but retract that sigh...because I have alot more to say about her! She is so freakin' cute!!! And funny and a puppy! Friday afternoon we drove up to PA to get her at Hillcountry Farm. She was excited to see us and rode home in my lap the whole way home. She was alittle scared at first and we had to stand outside in the rain for two hours to try to get her to go to the bathroom, but she has quickly adapted to the Flach family. She loves her crate and her toys, which has been a huge help! She sleeps through the night and really hasn't had accidents in the house...until last night. Jim and I bought a really cheap carpet for the living room, with thoughts that we weren't going to spend money on it until she was potty trained. Well low and behold, we hadn't even finished rolling out the carpet before she quickly christened it. One hour later she did it again!!!! Not to fret, we quickly disciplined her and cleaned it up and used simple solution....so hopefully she will have learned her lesson.

Saturday I took her to the vet. She did really well (of course!!!). However a small man brought in a HUGE german shepard that tried to kill her. I guess I have some Mommy instinct in me as I jumped in between the german shepard and Gordy (probably not the smartest human thing to do....but I did it anyway). Gordy flipped on her back and started screeching. The man pulled the dog back and the vet yelled at him for not being able to control his dog. The dog so over powers him and was dragging him around. He shouldn't be a pet owner. It's a shame.

Anyway she has tons of character and is such a love bug. We're so happy to have her and are really looking forward to watching her grow up. Hopefully we'll get that walking thing down soon ;)
