We adopted a dog! Well almost a month ago now but still pretty exciting. After months of searching shelters we ended up adopting a lab/Australian Shepard mix puppy. She's completely black which means my camera cannot figure out how to take a picture of her so be prepared for 13-16 years of pictures with a blurry black shadow in them. We got her when she was 6 weeks old and just a tiny little nugget.
The boys fell in love with her right away. She likes to wrestle just like them but we seem to have entered puppy chewing phase and the chewing is targeted at the kids. they are her favorite chew toy. I've been assured that it is non aggressive and she will grow out of it so for now we try to distract her with actual chew toys and keep the band aids handy.
I've learned that 18 month old human babies and 2 month old puppies are actually quite similar. They both like to chew on everything, are equally entertained by watching the clothes move around in the dryer and share a love/hate relationship with the car and vacuums. And much like Miles, Ruby is not potty trained so my day is full of wiping bums and piddle off the floor.
She's already doubled in size, a concept that seems to confuse her as she regularly tries to shove herself through the baby gate (and get stuck) where just 2 weeks ago she could squeeze through easily.
My side of the family got to meet her when they were over for Nolan's bday and she was a big hit with this little girl.
