New family member

Our neighbors had a batch of puppies in January and wanted to give the girls one. We made the mistake of going to look at them :) and finally gave in and brought one home the middle of March. Got the cutest one outta the bunch, a boy, and Hannah came up with the name Charlie. Guess we shouldn't have taken their word for it, that it was a boy, 'cause it turns out it's a she! Guess before you get something, you should check it out for yourself. :) Now she is known as Molly. And for the most part she's a decent dog.

Not sure what we were thinking, getting a puppy, but hopefully she'll turn out to be a decent dog. She's got into my flowers numerous times and destroyed the lilac bush shortly after we planted it, hopefully that will pull through. Has dug up plants in the garden. But now she's got herself a handy dandy little collar that gets after her when she does something we don't like. Just need to be watching her so we can zap her!

Another little quirk of hers that we don't like is her hauling anything and everything up on the front deck. Never know what we'll find in the morning. Dried afterbirth, chucks of wood, hay, the other day it was a fawn, cow pies, deer bones....really don't want to be attracting flies to the front door!

My new daily repeat to myself: she's just a puppy, she's just a puppy....

These are from when we brought him her home:

Later in the month:

Puppy kisses!
