 |
| Our front yard is surviving the puppy... (she doesn't really realize it's there yet) Give her time, I imagine she'll start digging there too... |
 |
| This is where she hangs out when banished to the great outdoors... where she can keep her eye on the backyard & get the best view of the rooms inside too. |
 |
| Audra's Cheer Group is keeping our calendar full this month...and it's all Fun! |

A Super September, so far...

Our 1st week with our new girl,
Zoe
 |
| Zoe's car ride to her new home with us |
 |
| Here she is, giving her toy a tour of her new yard. |
 |
| Zoe & Audra ~ getting to know each other |
 |
| Settling in to a nice calm routine together... Audra was GREAT with our new puppers for the entire, long holiday weekend |
 |
| Especially when they are both really tired from playing together outside in the heat of the day |
 |
| But every morning, it's time to start all over again |
 |
| Zoe thinking, "Oh Come On, mom...let's play!" |
Okay, but...we both know you are really looking
forward to when Audra gets home from school.

We took a road trip to pick out
a new family member today....
 |
| "Red puppy" (her pre-name, name) is a female brindle Great Dane! |
 |
| Here's her BIRTH FAMILY! (well, with audra holding the baby) |
We don't get to bring her home until Tuesday & it was really hard to drive away & leave her behind!
And gee...I didn't take a photo of her Gigantic, Gorgeous Sire, Apollo.
(I think I was just too busy playing with the puppies...there were 8 in all!)
But here's a photo of Dam Nesta with the pups when they were 1st born back on July 5th.

| and the pup we've chosen in all her teeny tiny glory.... |
She was quiet & gentle, wasn't licking or biting, and seemed so content to be held,
without any signs of shaking or fearfulness.
We think we've made the right choice!
...but her brother was a gentle guy too...(Louis shocked me when he said we could take both),
I'm just thinking 2 might have been a little much?

It was Tempting Though...Seriously!
