Anyways, the newest addition to our family is our yellow lab puppy, Annie. We got her in August when she was only 7 weeks old and weighed 9 pounds. She is now 5 months old and 45 pounds! Our life with a dog has been quite a ride, filled with many laughs and tears. Having a puppy is like having a toddler. She is potty training, teething, waking up at night, getting into EVERYTHING, and testing the boundaries around our house. It is a full time job. Gone are the days of coming home from work and hitting the couch just in time for Oprah! Welcome to the days of walking Annie at 7am and 4pm, rain or shine. We are permanently at her beckon call at potty time, dinner time, play time (or whenever she wants our attention.) While it has been quite a drastic change in our lifestyle, I wouldn't change a thing. She is sweet and snuggly and is learning more and more every day. It can only get BETTER from here, right??

I don't know if this is good news or bad news for you, but....when we had our dog Mack it was sooo hard! I swear adjusting to Gracelyn has been much, much easier than adjusting to a new puppy. (We also had a very difficult dog and an easy baby.) However, basically what I am trying to say is if you can get through this you can easily get through the first 8 weeks of mommyhood. Puppies are good training for babies! Glad to hear you are having so much fun with it! Happy Late Thanksgiving!
