Bad Dog Mommy

I am a bad dog mommy. I haven't posted since we got the puppy! But really, that makes me a good dog mommy, as I've been focused on that sweet little button face and pumpkin butt. I just love that special little girl. Things feel right in the household again, and Dreamer has lifted my spirits in inexplicable ways. She is not a replacement for Legan, but she's a good diversion...and so much fun!

In her time with us, Dreamer has:

• Attended two private obedience lessons
• Been to a new place every day for socialization
• Visited the vet for her first round of shots
• Met our co-workers at the ad agency twice

Dreamer is a big hit at work. She's been taking it all in and seems to be taking it all in stride too.

Tonight she'll venture into the neighborhood for National Night Out. It will be a quick and easy socialization spot for her. We are supposed to take her to a new place every day until she is 12 weeks old, at which point socialization opportunities supposedly end. We've been doing very well in taking her to new places. It has been a sacrifice that will hopefully pay off.

Here's a gallery of her for you photo lovers out there:
