Chancy's First Snow

Chancy Loves the snow!

What walks down stairs...

Chancy does now. She just walked down the small steps from the bedroom. I think we will hold off on the bigger stairs till she is a little bigger. I also taught her to sit using the clicker. Next up “Lay-Down and Paw”.

Almost a full week in her new home...

And Chancy is being ultra comfortable here. She has determined that the yard is an obstacle course and all the nice landscaping gives her places to lay, dig and run through...oh..and eat!

She is up to 15 pounds as of this afternoon. Grandma Birdie (Jim's Mom) has been staying with our little girl during the day while we are at work and spoiling her of course. We don't know what we'd do without that special attention for her while we are at work.

Last night she only got us up once...and maybe that was because Mommy had to get up and go to the Bathroom too! We are ready for some sleep! Happy Friday!

12 1/2 Pounds at First Vet Appointment!

Ms. Chancy is 12.5 pounds. She got 2 vaccinations and started her preventative kennel cough treatment. We will start her on interceptor the 1st of Feb. and can apply topical frontline today. Her vet Dr. Kroshack said she would better be able to tell her adult size at 4 months.

Getting ready to take Chancy to the Vet for her First Visit.

We are going to take Chancy to the Vet for her first appointment. I weighed her here at home yesterday-she was 11.5 pounds on January 18th, we will see what the vet says about Ms. Chancy’s big paws.

Chancy's first night

It was Chancy’s first night here and she did really well. She has not gone in the house yet, Andrea and I have taken her out after she wakes up from her puppy naps and she goes right away. Chancy went into her crate around 9pm last night and did not make a sound until 12:15pm. She had to go out 2 more times at 1:45 and 3:15 but she went potty right away. At 6am she wanted to get up to get a drink, since she will have to get up on our schedule this is not too early for her.

Our New Puppy Chancy!

We just picked up our new puppy all 10 lbs. of her.

Only 1 day left till Chancy lands

Have the Enzyme, Bitter Apple and the last of the baby gates ready to go. We have a 9:30 appointment at the breeders to go pick out Chancy (This is going to be a tough choice). I know they all will look different than they did in the pictures but hopefully one of them will pick us and make it easy.

Chancy's First Necklace

We went to PetSmart and got her first collar and dog tag. The tag we got is a bit too big so we will have to get the smaller size. We don’t want the gold medal size tag to tip her over on her nose.

Preparing for Chancy's Arrival

Christmas Day here was fun to open all of Chancy's gifts! Her Grandma Birdie had a whole bag full of toys and goodies...Also a beautiful card and letter written to the puppy! Her Grandma and Grandpa Buchanan got her some Calming spritz...guessing they think she's going to be a bit of a handful at first?

Steph and the kids got her a cool stocking filled with bunches of toys and Sherry, Randy, Jackson and Bilbo provided some cool gifts and one of Bilbo's stuffed Monkeys so Chancy can pick up his scent. Introductions will be soon after we arrive back in VA!

We got a message from the breeder that we are the first appt on 1/16/10. We will get to pick her out and take her home at 10:00AM that morning! We have to pick up some Purina Puppy One and we'll be all set.

So excited to be getting this close to picking up our new little love!
