Bill and I have been busy adding to our home and family lately. The most recent addition is a 3-month-old yellow Labrador named Reese. We have wanted a second dog for a while, specifically a Lab, and we were lucky enough to find just right one. In order for me to explain how we got her, I first have to talk about the other new additions.
With the wedding fast approaching, we were feeling stressed about furniture and the fact we really didn't have much. Bill and I decided to replace our little blue couch with a large comfortable sectional and decided to add a formal dining room set to the bill, too. As the movers were delivering our furniture, Bill and I were talking about wanting another dog, specifically a Lab. One of the delivery men said he had a lab who had in fact recently breed with another Lab just a few houses down. Their doggy union produced a litter, and out of that litter there was just one yellow female remaining. Bill has always had his heart set on a chocolate, but we exchanged numbers anyway just in case.
Bill ended up calling him the next day to see about going and seeing her, but we were told there was another lady heading over to check her out. He received a call back after that conversation to say that prospect had flaked and we could come see her. We arrived to the owner's house to meet her, her mother and her grandmother. While she was a yellow, Bill couldn't resist her sweet disposition and her sweet and intelligent eyes. When we got back in the truck with her, Jovi was scaling us and the seats in order to give her a thorough sniffing. That night wasn't very restful, but not because of Reese - Jovi was like a kid at Christmas who was so excited he couldn't quit waking up to try and play with her.
The first day with us, Jovi was intimidating to her and she didn't fight back much. It didn't take long though for her to become comfortable and now they run around the house and yard chasing after one another, biting each other playfully, napping together, etc. Currently they are both on the couch next to me fast asleep after nearly two hours of playing this morning. Our biggest challenge right now is keeping them apart so we can grab a moment of peace. We are so excited though to have her and feel that our family is complete for the time being. We hope when the two-legged children arrive they will be as loving and playful with them as they have been to each other.
All our love!
