Here is Miss Honey!

Yesterday we got our new little puppy, Honey. We had visited here several times and had purchased her all sorts of things including a rather large crate her to grow into. Some chewy toys and treats. We picked her up around 10 and she sat on my lap and shook as we drove home. Well, I'd be scared too as she had been taken from her mom and litter mates and gone of in this big car. We put a collar on her in the car and added the leash as we got home so she could do her stuff before she came in. Well, even tho she did, after she got in the house she had an accident. Nerves. So out again and more "good girl" when she did it outside and then B watched her as I cleaned up everything. The rug spot remover worked well. We then had her out every 2 hours or so. She didn't drink much of her water and we didn't feed her too much as we were concerned she might throw it up. She went in her crate with no problem. We had the door open and a towel on the bottom tray. She seemed to enjoy it - close and safe.
We put the crate in the foyer so she could hear us and we could easily check on her. If you look you can see the partition that can be moved back as she grows bigger.

She was finding new spots to sleep. Here she is under the table that is just off they foyer.

And later on she went under the dining room table.

She had no trouble going into the crate at night and I took her out several time. She did her thing and then back into the crate which I then fastened closed.

Today she is much more relaxed. She is eating fine and enjoying her walks outside. She does bite but we just redirect her to one of her toys. She keeps eating Bs shoe laces and he is going to have to see if he has something with no laces. She is playing with more of her toys and when I was up in the loft earlier she was looking all over for me. While she does the steps outside, she has not gone up and down our inside steps..yet.



One of her toys that she was hauling around today. It's so big she has to drag it. right now she is at my feet while I type in the breakfast area.
So sweet - she is a cute dog!
