Anna's New Puppy

Anna's new puppy is Sissy, an Anatolian/Border Collie mix she got from Mosers. Sissy is fitting in quite nicely at our house, although she spent her first night hiding in the sword toy bin, trying to stay away from the kids.

She didn't have any accidents in the house the first night; quite possibly because she had thrown up or pooped out everything in her tummy within the first ten miles of our trip home. Made it a difficult ride for me- the smell was about more than I could handle for two hours, with a pregnant-sensitive nose. Luckily, Duane was home to help Anna with a bath for Sissy, while I cleaned out the kennel.

Anna has had a great time so far, taking her for long walks (and I mean 4-5 hours at a time) and playing with her. The night we walked to the river and back, Sissy was dog-tired when we got home. There was no whining from her that night.
