I went and got our new puppy today. We were going to get a Heeler but found this litter of Lab-mix puppies at the local Animal Control Shelter that someone had dumped off. Well....we of course fell in love with this little cute girl, and she's now our newest child! It was my reward for hitting the 1/2 mark to my goal--beats pizza or ice cream right? And, boy, just think of the exercise I'll be getting with this little cutie!

Her name is Geraldine, named after Dawn French's character, Rev. Geraldine Granger, in our favorite Brit Comedy, "The Vicar of Dibley." She'll be called "Gerri" for short {Gerri!, Gerri!, Gerri!}

She is just 6 weeks old and is already learning her name! She loves her little kennel, goes potty outside, and is happy meeting her new big sister, Emily.

Here are some photos of this little darling

    Awwwwh-cute!! Glad she likes her big sis, Emiliy. But what does Emily think of the new arrival?- she doesnt look convinced in the one pic. I'm sure they will love each other.
  • I love the Vicar of Dibley!! What an awesome show. Mind you, Dawn French is just lovely, regardless.

    Ever see the episode where she wanted to go on the radio with a program called "The Vicars Knickers" ?:laugh:

    Oh, and the puppy is nice too.
  • Awww. So adorable!

    I've seen all the episodes--my favorite is the Christmas one where Alice gives birth during the Nativity Play. :laugh:

    Well, I won't say already house-trained but I've noticed that she gets very "antsy" when she needs to go, so I pick her up and take her out and so far she's gone right away each time!

    After Geri gets done running you, you'll be ready for the running leg of a triathlon. Hmmm, wanna adopt a dolphin?

    What is it about "puppy breath" that brings such joy?

    She's curled up in lap sound asleep and breathing these soft little puppy breaths--

    Haha, I like how the big one looks like he's/she's giving the new pup the "I'm in charge" look. Too cute!

    Your new little one is so adorable! I wish we had the room for one more. But Sammy (jack russell terrier/mix) is an awesome dog and truly a part of our family. My hubby is so not an animal lover, but Sammy spends more time with him now than with anyone else. I love that. :smile:

    That is still great progress....my mom still had issues with one of her dogs after a year and she still isn't great at giving a signal that she has to go :)......but it sounds like your baby is catching on fast :).....

    I want to roll around on the floor with her! She is too cute for words!

    (that might sound weird, but I live in a tiny apartment and currently have dog want.)
