It's been a while since I've posted and life has been busy. First of all, as of tomorrow I am 12 weeks pregnant! My expected due date is January 13th, which is Friday the 13th. At my 10 week appointment, we got to do a quick sonogram and see our little one with a quick heartbeat, hands and feet. It was a really cool experience. With Adelle, our first sonogram was at 18 weeks.
Since you've probably peaked at these pictures, I will go ahead and say that last week we made a big decision to get a dog! Lady is 6 months old and she's a Yellow Lab and Anatolian Shepherd mix. I know some people might be surprised by this because I am openly not much of a pet person, but I just fell in love with her. She has a very sweet demeanor and already loves Adelle so much. Luke has wanted a dog for a long time that he could train and run around with. Adelle loves her new friend and tries to help train her with Daddy. I've already found myself worrying about her the same way I worry about Adelle. She's already part of the family.
This first picture is when Lady and Adelle first met (the car ride doesn't really count). Right from the beginning, Lady was submissive toward her and got down on her belly trying to play. It was so cute. We're having fun teaching Adelle how to treat an animal kindly too. I'm excited to see how they grow together!
It's hard to remember that she's just a puppy sometimes because she's already so big. She is a quick learner and is very teachable. She's an outdoor dog, but we're house training her as well so that she could be inside for emergency situations. In a couple of weeks, Luke will start a 6 week obedience school with Lady and I know he's excited about it.
I just love her coloring/markings. I love her golden undercoat and her white belly with golden spotted legs.
She's more cooperative with the camera than the rest of my little family.
The first day and they're already besties. I took this from the back door. Lady didn't even try to come inside, just sat on the porch step, so Adelle joined her. So sweet.
So cute.
