We did this...
We got Pepper. Pepper the Puppy. We were out at a flea market type place wandering around, killing time, having a nice little date, when we came across this litter of puppies. They were Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix. That's waht Violet is, and Violet is the Best Dog! (That's what we call her. Violet the Best Dog!). We'd talked about getting a new puppy when we got a bigger house and a backyard... and they were so cute...
I honestly don't know how it happened. I'm not usually impulsive and Dave is NEVER impulsive, and somehow, Pepper made it home with us.
This is Annika with Pepper...
This is Ev studying with Pepper...
This is Gunnar with Pepper the day after we brought her home...
This is Bryce watching tv with Pepper and rubbing her belly...
She's really a good dog. She's 3 months now and mostly potty trained. Only one accident in the last 3 days. She sits when you tell her to. She's learning stay. She does not bark her head off in her crate all night anymore...
I'm not gonna lie. Having a puppy is a lot of work. A lot like having a baby... except that you can't lock your baby in a crate at night, on the other side of the house so you can't hear it. Psychiatrists say that is bad for babies, but NOT SO for puppies!
I think she's settling in quite nicely, don't you?
