This is our house guest. She has been a bundle of energy and joy around here for the past few days. She is my parent's puppy but has been our guest for a few days.
She has fit right in. The kids are over the moon for her and she is never bored with the kids around! We have kept her busy with hour long walks in our forest, meeting neighbourhood dogs and getting lots of cuddle time. We call these walks "socialization by immersion." She has had no choice but to follow her new pack and meet lots of kids at the school and lots and lots and lots of big dogs on our walks.
People we meet on our walks marvel at our family and think we might be a bit crazy having 3 kids and a puppy. Thats when we say she isn't ours and we are just puppy sitting. They sigh with relief.
There are never any dull moments in our house and adding a puppy to the mix has been lots of fun. Will one of our own be in our future,? Don't know, but we are getting some great practice in!
