Hello from upstate NY

Post by Loralee »

Hi, my name is Loralee.

I'm currently a stay at home mom of four kids ages 8 to 13, and we just welcomed our first dog into our family. Her name is Molly Rose or Molly for short, and she's now 13 weeks old. She's a mix, her mom is a Lab/Rottie mix, and her dad was a Shar Pei. We got her on Sunday, and it's been good week with her so far. I don't feel as anxious anymore about having her, but I still have my moments wanting to make sure we made the right decision to bring a dog in to our lives for us and for her. We did all the research and I have Victoria's book, and I knew what I was getting into, but books and reading can't really prepare you for reality. lol I find I feel a lot like I did when I brought home my first child, but everyday I feel a little surer that this was the right decision for us. She's really is a sweet girl, house training has been really good so far, she seems to love her crate, and she's been sleeping through the night for us. She's getting a bit more adventurous with the house, and outdoors. She loved the warm weather we had the last two days, the flying leaves were her favorite. :)

I'm so glad I found this forum, I love Victoria's show and her book and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Thanks!

Loralee

Welcome to the board, Loralee. I really like shar peis and rotties, plus labs are generally neat dogs, so I'm sure she is a sweet girl.

Hope it continues to go well for you!
