The Big Day

-

 Finally the day had come, when it is time to pick up our new fur baby. We were excited and nervous at the same time. Here is our story of bringing home our little MeatBall. 


Our little MeatBall was finally ready to be picked up and brought home. We just had to make it through our work day. I got off work at six and my husband got off at seven. That was the longest Friday I had ever had to work. So I planned on going home and letting Sadie, our Boxer, and Mr.Wiene, our dashound, out to do their business. Then shortly after my husband would be home and we would go pick our new fur baby. We were nervous because we didn't know how Sadie and Mr. Wiene would act with a new puppy in the house. Tonight we would find out. 


My husband got home to pick me up so we started our way to the breeders house. She only lived about forty-five minutes from our house and her husband got off work at seven as well, so she was ok with us showing up so late. We were about half way to her house when I realized that, with all of the excitement I forgot to grab the special blanket we bought for MeatBall. I was pretty upset about it. My husband being the sweet man he is offered to turn around to get it, but I told him no. It would be okay. We got to the town our breeder lived in and decided to grab a hamburger really quick because we wanted to go straight home once we got our fur baby. My husband told me that was the fastest he had ever seen me eat. I was just to excited! 


We got to the breeders house. It felt like she took forever to answer the door. She answered the door and walked us in to her livingroom and handed us our little MeatBall! She was so sweet and little. After getting puppy kisses we fill out our paper work with the breeder and her husband was loading up the dog food we bought from them. We thought it would be best to buy a bag of dog food that the breeder was already using. We were getting ready to leave when the breeder told us to wait a minute she had a blanket for us to take. I couldn't believe it when she brought us the same blanket I had forgotten at home! That was just the icing on the cake! After that we loaded up in the car and made our way home with our new fur baby, our little MeatBall.

Getting Puppy Ready

Now that we have decided to get a puppy. It is time to get what we need for our house. I will break this down in two different blogs. One being if you already have dogs and the other is if the puppy is your only fur baby.  My husband and I at this time already had two dogs. We had an older boxer female (Sadie) and a very old dashound (Mr. Weenie). Which we still had to this day.  So we already had the basics. What we did need to get was some toys, her own bed, and blankets just for our new puppy to make her feel more at home.  On the blankets we didn't want to get her anything to fancy because she is a puppy. So the likely hood of her messing it up was very high. We went to our local Walmart and bought a little throw blanket. Which at the time was only two dollars. It was a cute little blanket, it was red with dog bones all over it. Now to the toys, we wanted to get her some toys that she could chew her little heart out and not mess up. When puppies are teething it is v

Life Saver

 I spoke in my blog "Getting Puppy Ready" about getting a Dog Play Pen for your puppy. Well today I am going to tell you why it is such a life saver, on when to use it, and you best believe you will get some funny stories along the way.  This is no secret but puppies can be a handful. You have to watch them like a hawk. They are so new with life that everything is fun and exciting for them. Even if they are getting in to something they aren't supposed to. My husband actually suggested this, and I honestly didn't think I would use it but let me tell you it really was a life saver.  Just because you have a new puppy it doesn't mean that everyday life stops. You still have to cook dinner, shower, and do chores around the house. Which can be challenging with a new puppy. This play pen was wonderful. When I was cooking, cleaning, or taking a shower I would put her in it. Now if you are like me, I did not like the idea at all. I would even call i

Benefits of kennel training

I would like to talk to you all about the benefits of kennel training. Now hear me out before you run off. I know some people are really against kenneling dogs, but they have been a huge help for me and my family. I would like to share with you how they have helped me.  My husband and I both have full time jobs. So we do have to leave our dogs at home while we are at work. When we are not home we do put them in dog kennels ( we call them their beds). My dogs love going to their beds. It is like their safe place. Where is your safe place? Is it your house, the place you look forward to going to. Well that is our dog's beds. I think there is a couple of reasons our dogs like going to their beds. One they get a treat, it doesn't matter that they have learn what "lets go to bed" means, they will always get a treat. Two they have their own space way from the other dogs, that is just theirs. With their own blankets and pillows. Three they feel safe in their beds
