It is the evening before Christmas Eve. We have acquired a new member to our household. A 9 week old chocolate lab puppy. He does not have a name yet. The jury is still out on this He was a Christmas present to John. We have now had him about 4 hours. What was I thinking? Daisy is jealous! Which surprises me, because when we had temporary custody of Cheyanne ( Jackie's dog ) she showed no signs of this. I had purchased them both new chew toys as Christmas presents. Well, Daisy has devoured hers and is now trying to take over the pups. John is having not having it, so Daisy is getting yelled at quite a bit right now. This makes me feel pretty bad for her. The pup, by the way is already 15 lbs. and will be a monster. But has great personality. Again , I think I let the spirit of Christmas take over, and since I had no idea what else to get John thought, at the time, this was a great idea. Now I am thinking a gift card would have been an even better idea. I do not recall ever having a dog from puppy stage to adult so this should be an experience. Chewing I think will be a big problem, as I have already chased him down several time with shoes in his mouth. I will keep telling myself this too shall pass.
