So five dogs may sound like alot, and may give some people a heart attack, but that is how my life is. Last Sunday we picked up my beautiful red merle blue eyes Australian Shepherd. Molly is a really sweet two month old puppy born on August 22 (same as my mothers birthday). The journey to Missouri, well the one that was only suppose to take a total of twelve hours took seventeen. The breeders we got her from are so sweet, and their little pups are so adorable! She tries playing with the puggles, and they dont know what to do. Roxie is used to being the baby of the house, and we thought Roxie would really take to her. Roxie is normally really good with stuffed animals, often carrying them around like a baby. We just couldnt believe that Roxie didnt want to have anything to do with her. Abby doesnt really want to play with her either, but she was curious for awhile. Molly imediately took to Zach, which all my animals are in love with him.
We found out already that our puppy is a thief to our puggles, and doesnt like tags on anything. She was also extremely shy when we brought her home. Abby of course was very outgoing when we got her and turned out to be a total brat. But I love them all anyways.
Eventually as the puppy days fade, Molly will be an outside dog. Until then the little pink nosed pup will stay inside from the cold.
The true training will begin this weekend as I will start her basic training like sit. She has learned to go through the dog door after watching Abby and Roxie go through it several times. Trust me its alot easier than having to carry her there and back. She isnt heavy but she still weighs enough to get a sore arm after awhile.
Its very hard having a new puppy when I have to go to school throughout the week. I cant always be there for her and it makes me feel bad. I do love my new little baby as well as my other animals. I am just really thankfull that my mom can puppysit when I cant be there.
Again, which shouldnt be a surprise now, but Abby still doesnt have her allergy test results back. She is doing better though. Its ridiculous of how long its been but apparently they dont care enough to tell us. I am just so glad that my doggies are doing ok and feeling good.
Hopefully all my dogs will adjust to my new puppy, and that she will adjust to living with us. Maybe eventually we will breed her. I was thinking about using the money we make on the puppies for college. The people we got her from did the same thing for their kids, and it is a really good idea. I just hope that she will like her new home and for the years to come stay happy. As for our other dogs, I just hope they can put up with her.
I don't know about a puggle, but I think I want my next dog to be a pug, but that will have to wait. We are a one dog at a time house. Having said that, I hope I don't need another dog for a long time. I am not looking forward to my kids having to deal with losing a pet.
