Introducing.....Baylor!!

Baylor is a 9-week-old Golden Retriever. You probably remember that I've been thinking about this very big step for quite some time and today all the pieces just kind of came together. I drove to the very exciting town of Mineral Wells to meet her and she did not disappoint.

Here's a few important details about our short time together...

* As soon as we got in the car to head home she crawled all the way across to sit in my lap. Then she peed on me.

* After peeing on me she got comfortable and started to snooze. A few minutes later she started moving around and then she peed on me again!

* Our short drive out of Mineral Wells would not be complete without another potty stop, ON ME!! That's right, the dog peed on me three times before we even left the city. Maybe she was nervous??

* Her first poop was in my good friend Kristy's flower bed. Immediately after doing the deed, she stepped in it. It smelled really bad! And, she's done it two more times since we've been home. Is that normal?

* On our way home we stopped to meet my parent's dogs. They were not really excited to see her and left the room as soon as we put her on the floor. Seriously, they were scared of a cute, little puppy.

* We've been home for about 3 1/2 hours and so far there have been no accidents! She's getting used to her crate and only whines for a minute when I put her inside. She follows me around wherever I go and so far hasn't ventured outside of the kitchen.

All in all, I can't complain. I better get to bed though, I'm going to get up every couple hours to take her outside. Fun times!!
