The First Night

It is amazing how fast Mollie adapted to being with her new family. We placed her crate in the livingroom so that she could see us as we watched tv. Around 11:30 we went to bed and placed her crate in Yael and my bedroom. Mollie went to sleep and didn't wake up until 5 when Yael got out of bed to go to the bathroom. Yael took Mollie outside where the command "P" worked. Mollie then went back to sleep for two hours. At 7 she woke up and Yael again took her outside.

Mollie ate her breakfast, played with her new squeak toy (i.e. it's a cow she picked it out at PETCO) and went back to sleep.

The plan today is for me to take her into Pine Heights Nursing Home while I have a couple of meetings in Brattleboro.

Day One

Today, we picked up a puppy from Puppy Angels in Warner NH. Yael found her online at http://www.puppyangels.com/

She was rescued from a puppy mill in Kentucky where she was slated to be put to sleep. She is part Jack Russell and part Lab. She had a sister and three brothers. After our application was approved, we drove the 1-1/2 hours to get her. We immediately fell in love with her and gave her the name Mollie.

She was fantastic on the drive home. In fact, she peed on command and fell asleep for most of the trip.

We are crate-training her using "How To Train My Puppy Fast Track System by Trey Stevens."

I am hoping to chronicle her life with us.
