my new addition to our family..

I’d like you to meet my new addition to our family!

This is my Chocolate Lab puppy.. His name is Opie..

We drove up north to a farm town named Gouverneur (4hrs each way)  to pick him up. My cousin Amy’s dog had a liter of 6 Chocolate Labs, yep, all chocolate..  4 males & 2 females.  The mom is a Chocolate Lab, and the dad is a Yellow Lab. We got the chance to meet the parents.. They are both beautiful dogs!
He is 8 weeks old and has huge paws. Which usually means he will be a good size dog..  He did very well on the 4 hr car drive home.. He sat in the back seat with the boys and rested on them in between potty stops. No car sickness, and no accidents.. He did very well..  🙂

He fits right into our family.. His personality is hysterical.. He’s funny, and always gives you a good giggle at clumsiness.. He is very smart and is doing very well on all his training.. A few accidents here and there, but hey, I think he’s done well for being trained for only 7 days now.. ..

My cat Piper is getting better with him here. 1st 4 days she would have nothing to do with him.. Nor us.. LOL She his in my middle sons room, and only came out to use her liter box.. Within a few days, she started to come out more and more.. Then she would slowly come in the same room as Opie was in, but would run as soon as he saw her.. LOL She’s getting close to sniff him, but let’s him know when he’s too close to her.. lol I’m sure in time, they’ll be good friends.. 

phew.. forgot how hard it was to have a puppy.. But so welcomed..
