We Got a New Baby!

A baby dog! Yesterday we went up to the Animal Shelter to see if they had any new puppies and boy did they! Nine husky mix puppies w/ their mama (well, the mama was in a separate kennel), and another one that I really liked-- til I read that it was a Pit Bull mix. (I actually still liked it, but I just don't want to mess around w/ dogs that have agressive traits/tendencies after our incident with the dog we had to put to sleep.) Anyway, we went back today cuz my husband was home from work. We had to go to the DMV, which is right by the Animal Shelter! (Yay!) I said 'You have to see these husky puppies.' Well the man in there must really know how to get the puppies adopted. He let us take one out (I chose this one) and play with it outside. I love his markings, and he is so sweet. He's only six weeks old (I was suprised they let him go that young-- I thought they had to be eight weeks old to be taken from their mama). (The pit bull mix puppy was adopted today, too.) His ears are plastered to his head here. He has been whining a lot since we first got him home. I think he wants to be loved, cuz if we pick him up and hold him, he stops whining. Or, if he's asleep:
I got that old sheet out to put in his kennel/cage and put it on the bed. He laid down on it, and fell asleep within two minutes! It was like he knew it was for him to sleep on. We all liked the name Dakota. But, we have been calling him, Koda. If you recall or have been reading my blog since I first started it, that is what we named one of our old dog Sunny's puppies, too. (Just Koda. We had originally named him Taz, but then changed his name to Koda when we thought we might end up keeping him--which we didn't...) Anyway! If you don't hear from me in a while, it's probably cuz I am busy taking care of our new puppy..... :P

Oh cute puppy! I guess it would be so much like taking care of a new baby...Is he going to be a big dog?

There is nothing like puppy love. LOL! Unless it is baby love, you got both, a baby puppy. He is so sweet and I know he will grow to be a great family member.

Thank you everyone. It is like taking care of a baby, kind of. I have to watch him all the time. He isn't allowed to go into certain areas of the house (one room that has our new couches, and by the dining table). I hope he will be a good dog.
