And I am hopelessly in love!

The trip was really uneventful. We got down to O'Fallon about 4 PM their time of Friday. Got to play with Ruger and Gabby. We stayed for a couple of hours. Then we went back after breakfast on Saturday, played some more, and when Gabby was about to go down for the count, we picked her up put her in the car and headed home. It's about a 10 hour drive.

The first 3 miles or so, she CRIED. I felt horrible. Then she crashed, and when we stopped to go the bathroom, we pottied her, back in the car, back asleep. South of Ft Wayne, we stopped for gas. I gave Gabby just a little food. I was sure she was getting hungry she gobbled it up. North of Ft Wayn she whimpered, we stopped and she got out and pooped. We played with her for about 20 minutes, letting her run between us (my friend Dawn traveled with me). We put her back in the car, she crashed and stayed down until we got home. GO GABBY!!!

The the doggy introductions, very uneventful. I think Teddi is the most confused, Quinn really wants to play with her but I am keeping it to a MINIMUM because she is fast, strong and immature. She would not intentionally hurt Gabby that is for sure. But the big surprise is Belle. Belle wanted NOTHING to do with Teddi and that lasted until Max could no longer play with her, then Belle stepped up. Quinn, of late has had some great play sessions with Belle, but Belle is now already enticing Gabby to play with her. She has gone belly up trying to get Gabby to engage. Gabby is in awe of Belle, I don't know if she ever had a black dog to interact with, I know none of the dogs she did interact with were Belle's size. I missed a kodak moment earlier, Belle was belly up, and Gabby walked over and put her paw, on Belle's paw... it was SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!

She seems already to have a STRONG concept of going to the bathroom outside. She has no clue about asking at the door, so I have to watch but she gives really good signals.

And.... she slept all the way through the night.... Ok we did get up early BUT Gabby did not wake us up. I slept lightly last night, I think due to the fact the new pup was in the house. I had all the other 3 dogs on the bed with me, since Art is hunting. Quinn woke up ran over and looked at Gabby's crate, which started Gabby stirring. I had to go to the bathroom, so I decided before she freaked to get her out. We stayed up and started playing then. Not sure we will do that every day, but today is the first day in her new home, we can ease into our "schedule". She really is a good girl.

Awwww she sound so good :cloud9: It must be a blast watching how the other dogs interact with her and her reactions to them. You have to have the camera in your pocket along with the doggy treats :teehee: Of course, it's easier said than done and I know I keep wishing I had taken a picture of cute moments <3

So happy for you Ann :hug:

Ok the pictures will be coming. However... I don't own a digital camera, and the ones I took with my cell phone were Gabby blurs. So hopefully tomorrow I can get the video camera out and take some stills with that.

She has been so good today. Not one accident. Right now she is sacked out at my feet, she probably won't wake up until supper.
