Facts of life...

My little girl is Olive, sounds like the fruit. I really like the name olivia, but a guy in my hallway at work named his little one Alivia or something like that and it didn't feel too appropriate to have my dog with a name that sounds exactly the same. So Olive it is... Ben even gave in on the name Sophie, but by then I felt really bad and Olive is really cute. Or at least that's what everyone at the vet said and the people we hung out with at Millers the next day.

so now to the facts:

-Olive can now sleep through the night!!! Thank you!! only 5 days where she whined quite a bit.. she does like to play at 5 in the morning, but hey, a least she doesn't get up at 1, 3, 4. 5...

-Olive doesn't like wet grass so she has a tendency to leave "presents" on the stepping stones and rocks right in front of the stairs from the deck.

-Puppy bites and scratches heal quickly, the scratches and bites I get today will be gone tomorrow and replaced with a new set.

-I'm super excited for Kristin's bridal shower tomorrow, and the fun night after! I'm bringing my pup to the wedding but she has to stay home this weekend... so she knows where home is :)

Announcing....

OLIVE!!!

So here the little girl is… we picked her up friday night, and rode all the way home in my lap. She was 6.2 pounds when we took her to the vet the next day, super tiny, much smaller than I thought she would be. Which meant on Friday we needed to stop at Pe1smart to pick up a new leash, collar, and a few more toys. On Saturday we picked up a dog bed for her, another toy and another crate so if we go anywhere she can have a home if she'd like. It's much smaller than the one we have at home, which will accomadate her full size so it's much to large to take with us everywhere. Ben's parents are going to buy it from us for their cat once we outgrow it which makes it nice for us. The whole reason we didn't want to get a smaller oneis that she should out grow it in a month or so.

Olive went on her first road trip to Clarkston on Saturday. She got to meet and pick on Winston, who was a great host to the little girl. He's kinda lazy so he let her play all over him and even eat the hair on his tail. Such a nice playmate :) Sunday was a day of rest mostly. She sleeps really well during the day but doesn't sleep so well at 3 in the morning. A great deterrent for wanting children for sure. Yesterday she sleep under the deck while Ben broke up the random slab of concrete in our backyard. She slept better last night and even walked with me on a leash last night and this morning. I'll work on getting video of her, but that takes a lot of sitting in front of the computer trying to figure out what I'm doing so I'll try that a little later. There are some pictures of our adventures below… Enjoy!!!
