Our Newest Addition

We have added a new member to our household. Last week Dusty was searching around online and came across these absolutely adorable toy Australian Shepperd puppies. We really liked them, but not their price tag so we did a litte more searching and came across these absolutely adorable full-blood Corgi puppies. (OK, every puppy is "absolutely adorable")

This is the litter we got our puppy from.
(More pictures to come later when my camera decides to work.)

We decided we wanted a female. Her name is Libby. Libby is a very well-mannered puppy, she doesn't bark and she isn't hyper....she is playful. She also loves to take naps and surprisingly enough, she has left our shoes alone. I have been able to take her to work while we are working on potty training. Libby is making progress. She hasn't peed in our room since Tuesday and she is getting used to being let out every few hours. That doesn't mean she has completely stopped having accidents. In fact, as I blog my kitchen rugs are in the washer because they were overdue for a wash and she had peed on one of them right before I picked them up to take them to the laundry room. She is now in her kennel so I can get my kitchem picked up. When I am done, she will be let out and taken straight outside to take care of business.

On a lighter note, this morning when I took her out, we ventured to the backyard so she could do her thing. She wanted to do a little more exploring so I let her, however, her adventure was cut short when the big Golden Retriever barked at her. She ran as fast as she could with her little legs and couldn't wait for me to open the front door. It was really cute, but at the same time I felt kind of bad for her.

Libby and I have been spending a lot of time together and I am picking up on her signals. For example, this morning she ran straight for the door and I knew she needed to go out. At this rate, she will be potty trained in a matter of weeks. We love having Libby around. She is a lot of fun. Brayden and Hailey love her along with the rest of our family members. She is a great fit for us, as well as an excellent addition.

Just a Little Catch-Up

Since the last time I posted, Dusty and I have closed on our house, moved all of our things from the apartment to our house, given thanks with our families painted our bedroom and the master bathroom, installed a washer and dryer, helped my dad work heifers, and traveled to Valley City, ND for the North Star Classic.

WOW!!!

I feel like a hamster on a wheel. The busy cycle of life feels like it is never going to slow down, but we aren't letting that stop us. We have managed to settle in out our house and are now turning it in our home (pictures to come in a later blog) and had a wonderful Thanksgiving with both of our families. My dad and I also spent this past weekend in Valley City for the North Star Classic. After the last couple of weeks, I must say I will be happy when things slow down a little bit, but not before I have a fantastic weekend with my very classy college friends. (pictures to come).

As for the house, we love it. It is so quiet and private. We don't hear slamming doors or other people. It is so nice to have something that is actually our own. I am hoping to have the bathroom finished by Wednesday night and I hope to have things hanging on the walls by the end of the week. Every night I come home from work and I am so thankful for our home!! Dusty and I can't wait to make a ton of memories in this house!! Who knew being a homeowner could be so much fun?!?!
