IT'S A GIRL!!!

Yesterday we received a wonderful new addition to our family.  She is a very sweet, very mellow 3 month old Labrottie.  We rescued her from death on the very day it was to be dealt to her.  We should have named her Lucky  or  Daylight, but we chose Gemma.
I am a bit tired this morning as I take her our every 2 hours for a pit stop. She is also being Kennel trained. This was her first night away from her sister as well .She was very vocal and it was heart breaking.  Don't feel too bad.  She needed a little time and she had the hang of it by midnight.  She's laying at my feet as I type.

B is in love.  She is very excited about our new pet and repeats every command I say to the.  She cleaned her room on Saturday after we watched a video about puppies.  "I don't want her to get sick or eat my toys mum," she says.  She lays and watches her sleep.  She keeps her water bowl filled.  I only hope she is this excited in a month.
Wusthof is less than thrilled.  He is being very grown up about and not taking it out on the puppy.  He does give us sideways stances and Halloween kitty poses however.  He keeps yelling at me and walking over to the pup.  He sits just close enough to watch her.  He gave the pup only one smack and it was when she put her noes right in his face and barked.  It was hard not to laugh, really.  He doesn't really care about the dog, he just does not want his stuff messed up.  He is the boss of us all.
We'll be busy this week with lots of puppy stuff.  Send notes for any suggestions.  I've read a couple of books since Friday night when we knew she was coming to us.  There is no such thing as too much information.

Enjoy the pictures:

Thank you for reading.
