I knew what kind of dog we wanted we were ready to pull the trigger, but I just wasn't ready to pull that trigger quite yet. I kept telling the kids, "once Maddie is potty trained, we can talk about it."
About a month ago Jack babysat a lizard for his buddy. We had the lizard for about a week. When the lizard left, Jack cried himself to sleep for two nights because he missed the lizard. Like the kind of cry that ripped the heart right out of his momma's chest. SOOOOOOO, I immediately started making phone calls and finished up my research on these dogs and pulled the trigger. We surprised the kids with a puppy!!!
They love her and we love her!!! She's awesome and so so sweet! The kids fight over who gets to play with her. She loves to chase Jack and Maddie and use them for chew toys. Maddie actually takes it better than Jack. Maddie learned quicker than Jack did, to stop running or she will continue to chase and bite. A lot their clothes have holes with them from Annie's sharp, little teeth. Good thing I don't buy the expensive clothes, or we'd be in trouble.
Annie had a little set back last week. She broke her leg when she was out playing the Peyton. The entire family was devastated but Annie seems to be doing well and is not having any set backs with her cast…..so life is still good.
Annie had a few ROUGH nights in her crate. She cried and cried and cried…..so much, that by the second night we ALL had noise machines in our rooms to drowned out her cries. She's adjusting and doing MUCH better now. I'd say she is 90% house broke. She has even cried at the door a couple times to go out.
Here are tons of pictures of our new family member that we are totally in love with!!!
Meeting two of her family members…..two VERY, VERY excited family members!
Meeting two grandmas….One that will probably love her and one that could probably pass on her…..ha! Sorry Grandma Jeanne!
Playing with her one toy that she got to bring from her mommy.
Moving on and checking out the front yard.
UH-OH….here comes the last new family member. Maddie came down from her nap to a new surprise!!
Sharing her binki!
Pulling weeds is SUPER fun when you are a 9 week old puppy!
My new life….walking a puppy and a baby!
Too cute to not share. Maddie was playing on her slide and Annie was right there with her trying to climb up it. She actually made it further than I thought she would!
Matching hair….where is Maddie and where is Annie???
AND…..here comes the sad, broken leg!!
No cast goes unsigned!
