Our New Family Member!

Today, we finally went to get the newest member of our family. What do you think I mean? Of course! My new puppy. We got a golden doodle from Wine Country. It was a two and a half hour drive each way, but it was definitely worth it. My dad had ordered a crate so that we could pick up the dog and drive it home in the crate. However, Amazon took a long time to deliver it so we will only get it on Monday. Instead we went to PetSmart and bought a crate before driving to meet our new puppy. It was a long time, but we were very excited when we got there. There were two dogs left when we came to pick. It was really hard to pick between Big Bertha and Queen. Queen was smaller, but more active and she was recommended for first time dog owners. Big Bertha was pretty big and pale, but she was not that active. I liked Queen, but my brother liked Bertha. In the end, we decided on Queen, but we changed her name to Pixie as she was pretty small. Pixie started out the drive back on my lap, but then she started squirming and we put her in her kennel. When we got home we took her to the designated bathroom area outside. I can already tell you that the hardest part of being in a dog family is not being able to spend every single moment with your dog, even if she whines. ;) Even while I am writing she is still whining!
