We were not able to bring home the little brown puppy. The vet reported that she might have an abnormality in one of her vertebrae and since we plan to have an active busy dog, she suggested we get another one. So Ken went back and picked out a little black lab puppy from the same litter.
We brought her home one week ago and she is rearranging our lives constantly! Her name is Night Sky Star Shine – Sky for short – and she is nine weeks old today. At first Luna was unhappy about this new addition to the family. Sky bit her ears, jumped on her, took all the toys and declared the big dog bed to be hers. She also soaked up all the attention! Two or three days into this, Luna decided she was going to have to learn to live with her and began playing with Sky. Sky adores Luna and tries to follow her everywhere. That’s good for when we go on walks. Sky is also independent and will go off in her own direction if we don’t pay close attention. She is starting the process of house training and yesterday actually went to the door to say ‘it’s time’. Of course, we are diligent to take her outside every time she wakes from a nap and a couple times at night when she wakes up. And she gets special treats for relieving herself outside. So far, so good. We have been introducing her to lots of people and other dogs and she seems to enjoy just about everyone that she meets. I’ve been taking her for walks at different locations and she always enjoys them. She is ruled by her nose and can find some of the most disgusting things. How do I get her to stop that?

re: finding disgusting things…you can’t stop her from finding them…she’s a lab, ruled by her nose. You can pray she doesn’t roll in it!
Toooo Cute! Love the photo of Luna and Sky on the bridge. Have fun!!!
So precious
Rocky is my son. Nasha and Ruben are my granddogs as I say. I actually took the little chocolate girl with the bad back home with me. She (Little Debbie) is doing fine, just not too strong in her hind end. We live out in the country and plan on giving her the best life possible. Thank you so much for giving Sky such a wonderful home.
Oh that’s good to hear Julie! Thanks for sharing! Sky is growing like a weed and I need to put up some new photos soon.
