look whos new at my house

[goatgurl]

my dd and sil got me a combination present for Christmas. was it something i had asked for? no it wasn't! was it something i would have gotten myself? no it wasn't! am i pleased about it??? i don't know yet. they got me a combination peepot/paper shredder named gracie. really was not wanting another house dog in addition to emma. after ben was killed they told me told me they would help me get another pup. i was planning on another Maremma not a Staffordshire terrier.

Awwww.... now come on...you can never have toooo many dogs really can you?

He is pretty darn cute!
Your LGD is around the corner. Losing Ben was awful and sometimes it is best to wait.

Oh my she is so cute! Sure hope she makes a great addition to the house. So sorry for your loss.

Oh MY! At first I thought she was a stuffed animal! She is so perfect. What a beautiful puppy. Are those blue eyes?

@Southern by choice - I could have sworn you said, "you can never have too many goats" tooo! No wonder you are surrounded by so many wonderful creatures!

goatgurl - I still feel your sadness over your loss of Ben. Hopefully, even though a peepot/paper shredder named Gracie isn't what you had in mind, she will make you laugh and heal some of that pain. And like Sweet Southern said, you can still get another Maremma.

I actually had a dog one time I named peepot. Your little peepot is a cutie pie.

@Devonviolet her eyes are steel gray like her spots. everything else in the picture is stuffed but she is just full of herself. ironically before Christmas emma and i went thru her toy box and took out all the toys she didn't play with, put they thru the washer and dryer and fixed anything that needed fixed then took them to the puppys at the humane society. i only kept the few toys that emma picked up and put on the couch so when grace came along the toys were sparse. she has them all out and everywhere. so, ok she's made me smile but she's still a pee pot. i can take her out and she will go pp and we come in the house and 2 minutes later she has peed on the floor and i know she can hold it because she is in her crate at night and never has an accident. makes me nuts

Goatgurl, you crack me up! "So, ok she's made me smile but she's still a peepot . . . Makes me nuts." Why is it puppies do that? You take them out to pee and as soon as they come back in, they leave you a present on the floor! Maybe if you crate her as soon as you bring her in. Leave her there for five minutes (or however long it takes her to pee on the floor), and then take her right back out to pee. She will (hopefully) get the message she can't roam free until she really empties her bladder.

well my backyard herd is smaller by 3 today. Piggy, aka spot, ram lamb and one of my wethers all went to freezer camp yesterday. i have to admit I'm gonna miss that silly pig. but i am thankful for their contributions to my food supply.
