The First Week

Murphy has been with us one week now and is 8 weeks old. We couldn't be happier with our experiences so far. Well, I could have done without the two exhausting days of travel, but all went as planned. We arrived at Wildrose Kennels  last Tuesday to pick her up.

Until I picked her up, I second-guessed myself. Can we do this? It is a lot of money. Perhaps I should have gotten a rescue dog or a local backyard bred lab. It is going to be a lot of work (though that never deterred me from anything else).

We'd waited for two-thirds of the year for this specific litter, bred from Deke, mascot for Ducks Unlimited. And in the first few days, all my doubts melted away.
