Today we headed south for a seven hour drive to pick up our new puppy. After meeting mom's new puppy yesterday, we were hoping for another wonderful addition to the family. The drive was long and the anticipation built as we got closer and closer to our pick up spot. When we got to within an hour of our pickup point we called the breeder. She agreed to meet us an hour north of her hous
e to save us a couple of hours coming and going. We got to the Walmart pick up point and waiting...and waiting....and waited. FINALLY she arrived and we met our new addition. She was clearly sweet and energetic. She was wiggly and excited. We finished reviewing the puppy's health with the breeder and headed back on the road. But befo
re entering the expressway for the seven hour trip home we made a stop at the Harley dealer to pick up T-shirts to be a reminder of our visit and puppy pick up. While in the Harley store, the puppy threw up her breakfast - not once, but twice. Oh, well! At least I was hopeful that she had nothing left on her stomach and the trip home might be free of such activity. T-shirts in hand we headed to the car and the expressway to head north. The trip home was long and snowy. The puppy bonded with us right away. With great company and the Steeler game on the XM, the time flew by, until we got to the Ohio border. Once home we settled the puppy into her new environment and introduced her to her cousin, Abby, and other two older sisters. It has been many, many years since I had a puppy. Let the adventure begin.
