New puppy troubles

[Danegirl2208]

hi again

glad to hear that you got her enrolled in a puppy class, that is wonderufl! Just remember to be patient, puppies are a lot of work..i am so very sorry to hear about your fathers dog, ill keep him in my thoughts for you...it is really up to you, do you think katie would be better off living with your father? I can imagine that is a very tough decisan, just always keep in mind whats best for your little girl. Good luck, and keep us updated!
(by the way i saw katies pics on dogster, shes ADORABLE! )

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I don't think I can part with Katie now-getting very attached. Plus she wakes PJ up in the morning and he now says Katie more than anything else. I just feel so bad for my dad. But now that he has met Katie, perhaps I can convince him to rescue a Britt. My parents have a perfect home for a Britt and they already have a special needs dog in the house (my mothers-Slick has always been my dad's dog). Maybe-depending on what the vet says-I will talk to my dad about adopting a Britt from rescue. I'm just hoping the vet trip for Slick doesn't have terrible news. But I can say that Slick has had a great life with them and has been a wonderful companion.

And when I called to check on the family from work (my husband's schedule gives him two days on, two days off) I found that he and my two step girls had walked Katie to use their words "way far off and then put her on her dog trolley and she could fetch". The girls were amazed-I have been working on fetch for a few days and the trolley lets her run full tilt. My husband even took Katie with him to run errands. She really wiggles into your heart. If only the charms worked on the cats-it would be peace in the land. Hopefully it will be good news from the vet and Katie's puppy class will be great fun.

Congrats on the good news! I'm glad that Katie is now part of the family, that's wonderful. She is so adorable! Good luck with everything, definitely keep us posted (you can post updates, pics, and an intro for her in Dog General) and come back if you need any advice.
