We went yesterday morning to pick up our new puppy :doggie:
When we got to the breeder, there were a 2 other families arriving. We all were led to a huge gated in area, and the breeder made us clean our hands with a sterilizer. Then she started to hand out the puppies so we could play with them, and examine them. All the puppies that she handed out were girls. A 4th family arrived, and she said to them, "you must be here for a boy" they replied that they were also here for a girl. Guess what??? There were only 3 girls and the rest were boys. I was so scared :nervous: that she was going to say that we were the last ones on the list and we would have to wait. She checked her list, and another family was told that they would either have to come back or take a boy (they chose a boy). All the girls were a goldeny red colour, except for one who was a light beige colour. I really had my eye on the light coloured one, but another family picked her up first and seemed to one her. Thankfully, it was the family who ended up chosing a boy pup, so I scooped the beige puppy up quickly :)
She is sooo cute....we named her Bailey. She was born on June 21 at weigh 6 pounds 9 ounces. She was so good yesterday. A little nervous coming home in the car, but she slept a lot. The kids were so excited :yippee: all day long. We took her to the vet in the afternoon; she was so good she fell asleep while he was examining her. She now weighs 8 pounds. She did great yesterday and peed and pooed outside all day.
Last night was a little tiring. We are trying to crate train her. She cried for a while when we left her alone in the kitchen. I stayed with her until she fell asleep, and lifted her into the crate. I couldn't get the door closed to the crate. Went upstairs and went to sleep. She cried on and off during the night, but I only came down when she started barking at 4:30. She had crawled out of the crate into the gated area of the kitchen. I took her outside to pee (it was really peaceful outside at this time :rolleyes: ) and stayed with her until she fell back asleep. At 6:45 I heared her yelping again, so I came down and took her outside and she peed and pooed (what a good girl) .
Do I sound like a proud new mommy???? :D
