New Addition

We added to our family yesterday.  We have been thinking about getting another pup so Daisy can have someone to play with, and about 6 weeks ago, our friend Bob's dog had puppies.  The mom is a golden retriever/lab mix and the dad was a husky mix.

They were born 6/21 and are healthy with just some fleas.  We picked the chocolate one and named him Hercules.  He's the biggest of his siblings and is very persistant.  He has light brown eyes with a ring of blue on the outside.  We aren't sure what color his eyes will be.  He has white patches on his chest, chin, and a little on the paws, just like Miss Daisy.   It took Bob's family and Dan  an 1 1/2hrs to get him out from under their barn so we could meet this little guy.  After a quick bath and a flea colar (he's too young for a treatment) he was a shade lighter, and good to go. 

He was great the car ride home, snuggled in a towel against my arm.  I received several licks and some grunts if I tried to move him off my lap.  I think he'll be a snuggler.

Sierra and Buggs don't really know what to think of Herc.  He grunts a lot and really prefers to be out in the grass than inside.  He seems to miss his Momma and siblings.  Daisy seems to like him so far.  She let him crawl all over her this morning.  He tried to nurse and she got weirded out.  Haha. 

So far the transition has been very easy.  He didn't mess in his kennel last night at all, so hopefully he'll be as easy to train as Daisy is.  Maybe Daisy will show him the ropes.
