Our Family is Growing!

And no...we're not having one of those baby things ;-). Not any time soon anyway. Remember the puppy I posted about last week? My daddy caught her! He found her yesterday and my mom took her to the vet today.

Meet Bailey.

I sat down with the calendar today and figured out she's just over 6 weeks old. A little younger than I was thinking originally. Her mom was still pregnant with her when my family left for Florida and she wasn't when they got back. We decided to pick right in the middle for her birthday. February 26.

I love her markings! I love white dogs with patches around their eyes :-) She hasn't had much human interaction at all but she's doing really well so far! I've been bugging my mom & dad for updates & they've been very patient with me :-) I'll tell you a little bit about her. She has huge feet, she seems to like her crate, she does not like to ride in the car (she cried all the way to the vet & back...I hope she gets over that before she rides to MD!), she doesn't mind her collar at all, she cried to go out to the bathroom this morning and hasn't had an accident inside yet (to my knowledge)...but my dad spends a lot of time outside with her, so I'm sure that helps. During her vet visit we found out she had a lot of worms (we knew she would...luckily that's an easy fix) and she has a hernia. We'll get it repaired when we get her spayed. Other than that she's a healthy 9.2 lb puppy :-)

My parents are coming to spend Easter with us and they'll be bringing Bailey then. We're both very excited and we can't wait for her to come home! We've been gathering all the things we'll need for her and we need to start puppy proofing the apartment. We have a few things we still need to get but we have just about everything. I got some of the bitter spray stuff today. I've heard it works great as a chewing deterrent. I was a little curious so I decided to taste it. NOT a good idea. It was SUPER bitter. It took forever to get the taste out of my mouth! Even a chocolate chip cookie didn't help :-/ Hopefully it will help save my couch.
