Friday, April 15

Today Andrew and I drove to Merced to pick up our new puppy.  There were two females to choose from with both looking similar.  We watched them for a while and then chose the one who seemed the calmest.  We still can't decide on a name.  I wanted Josie for San Jose, Nathan liked Sandy, Andrew like Tahoe, and Larry likes Honey Bear.

It took about 4 hours round trip.  The puppy sat in the back with Hershey.  Hershey did not seem very interested in her.

Later that afternoon, I took the puppy out in a backpack that was turned around so she could be in front.  We walked to Earl's house.  I met his wife but he was on the phone with his brother.  I want to know if he would take the puppy out of the crate while I am at work.

The first night was hard.  She cried for 45 minutes and then slept 4 hours.  I work up and took her out where she peed and pooped.  I thought wow, I might have a chance at this potty training.

 When I put her back in her crate she cried for 2 1/2 hours.  When I could stand it no longer I got up but she was quiet.  To sleep again is wonderful.  Now why did I get a puppy?
