We have been thinking about adding a dog to the family for a few months and we brought home a puppy last night. Daisy is from the Arizona Border Collie Rescue. From the moment we initially met her it took about 3 weeks (I think) to adopt. She's very energetic, fun, friendly, a little shy, a great companion, and we love her already.
Makenzie sat down next to me tonight and told me how she is starting a new life. Asking my 6 year old to expand on that was tough.....she said, "you know....a new life."
I was anticipating a rough first night with a sad dog. She wasn't sure at first that she should stay all night. When it was bed time she went to the door we came in and acted like it was time to go. Confused and sad, she fell asleep at the door. I gently put her in the new kennel and she slept the entire night.
Daisy is potty trained, but when she's excited watch out. I gave her a bath tonight after I watched her pee and wag her tail in it...sort of like wind shield blades...ew.
Welcome to the family Daisy.
She is soooo cute! I hope she is working out well :)
