Dog Days of Summer

So it's been one full week of Johnny"ness".

He is settling in nicely with us.

After 3 baths,  2 trips to the vet, flea infestation removal, de-worming (again), a viral infection which led to vomiting and dehydration, which then led to injection of fluids and anti-vomiting medicine, prescription dog food....

I think we are in the free and clear for a little while.

He seems to have a great temperament and we ADORE him!

Nights are slowly getting better. We have definitely been thrown back to newborn baby days.

He is very smart and learning fast.

He is even starting to recognize his name.

I have to be honest in saying that I really did not want another puppy.... ever. 

I had wanted to adopt a golden about 2 or 3 years old.

The breed rescue groups denied us because we don't have a fully fenced in yard.

So I reluctantly started searching for a puppy.

So that is the short story of how we ended up with Johnny.

He's been worth every penny and worry.

Why?

Just look below and smile.

But most importantly it's because Beth has met her match.

I have often referred to Beth as my Karmic penance.

Johnny is hers.
