First day Home...Who could wait as long as we had set out to til Wednesday...No One because these pups are soooo Pawsitively Cute! Derek & I had had talked about it a bit last night and of course woke with the thought that I should go get them and I was sticking to rearranging the plan. Got the girls off to school with them crossing their fingers that they would be coming home to the pups and I phoned and woke Maul Lee up to see if she would trek out to Brownton, MN with me, about a 50 minute drive. She was all for it so I called the pups owner left a message and patiently waited til she phoned back. Ring a Ling, I jumped to see who it was and it was her area code...ahhh the first moment of joy. We chatted a bit I asked "if I could come out and pick them up" and she said "sure do remember which ones are yours" and I said "yes" she goes on to say "your female is the all black one with a white spot right?" a big swallow later I said "ah, No the other one was" because there were only 2 My heart started racing...she said " oh no let me call my husband and I will call you back." I had a moment of huge devastation, texted Derek, patiently waited for her to call back and had many thoughts racing through my mind. She calls, "I was wrong we are keeping that female yours is out there too" Thank Puppy Heavens. :0) I quickly scrambled to get out the door pick Maul lee up and off we were into MN farm country. It was a perfect sunny day but with wind chills dipping well below 0 Brrrr...I needed some Fury Friends to warm me up.
Arrived once again only to the best Male shepherd I have yet to meet named Shadow...I can only keep my paws crossed our boy turns out to be the charmer he is! Out comes the owner and away we went into the barn to get our pups, two out of the only four remaining and the other two were leaving tomorrow! Maul Lee's first reaction like ours was "Awwwww" Pups definitely warm the soul! I hopped in the pen but with hesitation because the pups mom is watching every move and the owner said "She'll be fine" I found the female right away and handed her to Maul Lee then looked for the little boy with silvery paws and was so happy to have lifted him up to my arms. After letting the mother dog kiss both of them and lick them like crazy we were off. The pups were bundled in a blanket on Maul Lee's lap the whole way and they never really budged the whole time I couldn't help buy love them up Promise my eyes were on the road the whole time ;))) Dropped Maul Lee off and home bound we were first stop potty break before we go into the house...Athena was successful but Apollo wanted nothing to do with the word "potty" brought them in to sniff around and amidst the wimpering and getting acclemated they only wanted that blanket they came home on. I introduced them to their food and water dish and both of them drank like the water was going out of style and when Apollo realized what was in the other bowl well his two paws and mouth went diving in and I don't think he took a gasp of air for several minutes lol. Athena so appreciated lunch too but not quite like Apollo. :0) Well all I kept focused on was getting them ready to be alone for about an hour because I had to get to the dentist...Another potty break and failed attempt of Apollo left me no choice but to expect a little duty call when I got back. I left them in our yoga room with the fish lying in their blankie and they looked like trustful little angels. Back a little over an hour later I came to a puppy mess...and grateful I was! I can say that is the only time today that they have made a mess not bad for their first 8 hours.
Girls of course have been loving it up to extremes these two pups are their new BFF's Best Freinds FurrrEver. They game them a bath and they smelled not so much like the farm TG and they are now fluffy little furballs...I love them like magic.
I believe Zena is living through them what a special gift from Puppy Heaven. :0)
Right now its only 730 and they are out like a light...Fireplace Going, Christmas Tree Sparkling, Tons of Snowy Snow Outside, Girls Happy Chatter in the Background with Dad, and I thankfully witnessing all of the JOY! Welcome to your new home filled with love Apollo & Athena and thank you for adding to our Magic!
