Here’s Gabby

Joy and I were finally able to go down to Boaz this Saturday and pick up our new puppy, Gabby! She’s a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and we got her from the Sweetbriar Kennel. She’s just the cutest little thing and very playful. After a hectic first day with us, she’s finally getting adjusted to her new home and family. Greta is VERY eager to play with her and we are still supervising their play time until Greta calms down a little more. We still love Greta very much and now she’d never purposely harm Gabby, but she still thinks she’s a puppy and doesn’t realize how much bigger she is compared to Gabby.

*YAWN* Still very tired after last night. Puppy bladders at 9 weeks apparently aren’t very big and I had to get up a 3AM last night to take Gabby outside for potty break. We must be blessed, because so far she hasn’t messed in the house yet, which is good because we had the carpets cleaned just before Thanksgiving. Hope this habit keeps up.

Here’s some more pictures of Gabby and Greta.

UPDATE: no less than 10 minutes after writing this post, Gabby proceded to mark her own little spot in the office. 🙂

Gabby to go!

Sorry for the lack of posts around here lately, but Joy and I have been busy (as usual). I had a great birthday this year and got a few new toys to play with and Joy and I also traveled to Walt Disney World a few weeks back. I promise I’ll post some more on that and put up pictures, but what we’d really like to share with our friends and family is the newest member to our family, Gabby!

We decided to buy another playmate for our newest puppy, Greta. We bought Greta so that Riggs would have someone to play with, but unfortunately we had to put Riggs down about a month ago. Riggs had led a very long and full life and was really beginning to suffer from arthritis and a thyroid problem. Greta loved to chase Riggs around the house and we know that he really enjoyed having a buddy in his last few months. Without Riggs around, Greta has been very lonely, and even with all the love and playtime we dote on her, we feel that she still needs someone “her age” to play with. She completely lights up every Saturday when we take her to PetSmart for her training classes and she gets to hang out with the other pups.

Gabby is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We’re getting her from a breeder down in Boaz, AL. Today Joy and I traveled down to meet the breeder, Gabby’s parents, and to pick her out. She was one of the largest and most alert of the litter and she seemed to take to Joy and I almost from the get-go. We had several possible names for her picked out, but once we started playing with her, she became very “vocal” and we immediately knew what name to go with! She’s only 3 weeks old, and once she reaches 6 weeks, she’ll be weaned from her mother and delivered to us. Then the fun times and sleepless nights begin. We’ll post more pictures once she arrives, so check back later!
