Yours Mine and Ours

We call it puppy love!



Having a new puppy is an adventure even if it is vicarious. It is very similar to having a new baby really. For the first few weeks Maggie was up all hours of the night. It was rather comical to see how tired Sam was being up with his “baby”. Maggie kept him up a lot more than Michael ever kept us up. Luckily she is sleeping through the night now… mostly…

I thought that I’d take her for walks in the morning and get some exercise in. Who knew a puppy had to be leash trained?! I put her on her leash and she sat down, I had to pull her like a mule. I got maybe 2 feet at best and said to heck with that! Sam has been working with her everyday and she’s getting better on the leash although she still chews on it.



It is so funny to hear Sam talk about his walks with Maggie, he said she wanders and has a hard time focusing…. That sounds just like going for walks with Aiden!! She also gets tired sometimes and he has to carry her home!!! LOL!!



Aiden absolutely loves Maggie. He does get competitive with her though. When Sam takes them to the park together Aiden always wins at getting the Frisbee and has a hard time letting Maggie have a turn. They have a lot of fun running around and wrestling each other and it is so fun to watch!



Tomorrow Maggie starts obedience school – Sam will be taking Aiden to class with him to work with Maggie, I am hoping that they will teach Aiden to be obedient too!!
