Life in my NEW HOME !!

 Well I arrived in Salt Lake on Friday afternoon, (March 8th).  My mom could hear me barking long before they brought me out from the Delta cargo area.  She could tell that I missed my litter mates and I was going to be a feisty little girl.  They opened up the kennel pulled me out for everyone at the cargo area to see.  They all petted and said I was a good looking puppy.  Mom then cleaned me up, gave me some lunch and loaded me in her car.  I barked, and barked, and barked.  Finally she pulled over and put in the front seat on her coat.  I liked that, it felt so comfortable and so I quited down and enjoyed the rest of the ride home.  Here's me on mom's coat in the car.

 As soon as we got home, I met my other family members.  Here's me with my new big sister, Rowdy - (she's a Border Collie, and she's 13 years old).  I just love to chase the white tip of her tail, try to jump on her back and nip at her legs.  She doesn't seem to mind.  Whenever I get to be too much, she just rolls me over on my back and lets me know it's time to stop.  There's also an old cat - but she doesn't like me, (yet, we're working on that).  We also have a cockatiel bird.  She's so cool, I usually just ignore her.

Here's me and my mom.  I just love to give her puppy kisses and snuggle up to go to sleep in her arms.  Whenever things are hectic and I'm stressed, mom picks me up holds me and I just snuggle next to her and go right to sleep.  She says I have 4 important rules to remember:   1.)  I was born for an important job -  I'm going to be a CCI service dog and help someone some day.  2.)  Always remember all my commands that I learn, they are very important in my lift.  3.)  Don't lick - people don't like dogs that lick.  4.)  Always remember that no matter what, she'll always be my mom.   Wow, that a lot of rules for a little girl like me to remember.

Here's my Dad.  He's the fun one.  We like to take long walks to the park.  He also gave me a blue ball that I absolutely love, love, love.  Dad tosses the ball, I run and get it and bring it back to my bed.  It's my favorite toy.  I am so lucky that this house has so many toys for me.

Well -  as you can see, I'm really growing FAST.  Mom says I won't be a little puppy for very long.  We started working on commands the very first morning.  My days are very full with play, walks, learning commands, naps, and more playtime.
