Puppy Addition!

[Dakota's Mommy]

Just wanted to post a thread on here to let everybody know that our family grew yesterday by the addition of a 2 month old Lab mix that we rescued from the cities Animal Control facility. Sierra, we believe that we will name her that (but not positive yet), came home with Brian and I yesterday and we're working on getting her adjusted now. Upon arriving at home on Sunday, Destiny and Dakota seem to be getting along with her just fine. She's so much smaller than them, it's weird. Dakota acts like she's not so sure about this because the puppy is so small. Destiny, however, won't let the poor little one breath. She wants to be right there with her at all times. Even when the puppy is sleeping, Destiny will come up every 5 minutes just to check on the puppy. It's cute, but kind of annoying. The puppy seems to be adjusting well, but I guess I'll know for sure when I get home for lunch and can check on her again.

Again, she is a little lab mix, but we're note sure what she's mixed with. She's mostly black but a little spot of white on two toes on one foot and a patch of white on her chest. She's such a cutie. She reminded us of my sister's pup Sadie when we got her, but after looking at Sadie's baby pics, we can tell our girl has less white and is smaller than Sadie was. We're looking forward to seeing how she grows and hoping that we get her adjusted and trained fairly quickly for our sake! I don't have any pics of her yet, but as soon as we finish the roll off we will try to get them developed and then I will get them scanned in!

I sure wish I could smell that puppy breath through the computer!!!
Yay for you guys!!!! A new Pet Talkin' pup!!!:D

I'm jealous - I want another puppy! Dick says no - that we have enough already. ( :( ) Oh well.

Seriously, congratulations on the addition to the family. I'm sure Destiny and Dakota will make sure to take good care of their new sister. And I'll bet they fill her in on all the ways Mom and Dad spoil their kids. She couldn't have found a better home!!

I have to agree with "Auntie Cincy" - should really have a "D" name, or she can claim Sierra as a gift!!! :)

Well, the second night went pretty well! We got a couple of pics but we took them with the polaroid so they're not that good! Anyways, Brian said that when he got home for lunch, he realize that he had accidentally left the bedroom door open and that Sierra was up on the bed! We can't figure out how she got up there unless Dakota put her up there, or she stepped on Dakota to get her up there. Knowing our girls, she problably dug her claws in and climbed up. Anyways, Dakota protested a little when she peed on Sierra's new bed and then by swatting at her causing Sierra to go sliding across the floor when Sierra bit Dakota's tail. I can't blame Dakota for peeing on her bed though because everytime I see Sierra peeing in the house it's on Dakota's bed. So, the beds are clean now and everybodies doing pretty good.

Last night, Brian got home and couldn't find the puppy. He and our neighbor across the street looking under furniture and through cabinets looking for the puppy. It turns out, she jumped onto the couch and hid in the back corned behind a bunch of pillows just leaving her nose to be peaking out from the top of the pillows in front of her. What a goofy girl! We kept her really busy last night so that we could actually sleep through the night and it worked out well. I only woke up at 6 am to the sound of her next to me and curling up on her bed. I went to put her out, only to realize the only reason she got up was to go potty and she had done that in the living room. So, when we came back in, she went into the bed with daddy and I cleaned up the poop. She was ready to go back to sleep even while sharing a bed with mom, dad, Destiny & Dakota (no, our girls normally don't get to sleep on the bed when we are). So, things are going pretty well. She's yelped a few times because the girls are so much bigger than her to she got hurt playing, but she is fine and I hope their learning. If not, she'll be bigger soon, but I'm sure that they are learning!

CONGRATULATIONS & Welcome to Pet Talk Sierra!!

She looks like such a cutie pie, & gotta love that sweet "puppy breath"!
I feel for you dealing with the 'poo' and all, but aren't puppies just the greatest:D
I hope everyone can adjust well, good luck!

Don't worry Amy, you get to be auntie to another cutie (so when you see them, you get to spoil them rotten & then give them back to mommy;))
