Meet Sammy

This past Friday we picked Max up early from school to drive down to Tucson to pick up our new boxer puppy. Max named her Sammy and she is just beyond adorable. The breeder gave her a bath and then we headed back home where Sammy slept in the car most of the way home.

WARNING: A LOT OF CUTE PUPPY PICTURES AHEAD.

As soon as I got in the house Zoe saw Sammy and was excited and very curious to meet her. All went well for the meet and greet and Zoe just wanted to play with Sammy. Zoe ran outside through the doggy door and looked back wondering why Sammy wasn't following her. 

The first night was super easy. Sammy woke up two times to go potty and cried minimally. She laid around on Friday night and slept a lot. On Saturday it was kind of the same thing. Sammy chilled most of the day and slept a lot. There was very little crying at bedtime. But, then on Sunday, it was as if Sammy felt comfortable in her new home. The crazy boxer came out and she cried a lot that night. It's been better since Sunday night, but Sunday night was terrible. 

We took Sammy to the park behind our house while Max practiced baseball and Sammy just loved to run free. She was so exhausted that she slept for two hours when we got home.

Sammy loves to tease Zoe and then run under the couch. She pops her head out and they both mouth each other as they play. This is Sammy's thing and it won't last long because she won't fit under that couch too much longer. She is currently seven pounds and just a bundle of cuteness. As Zoe plays we have to monitor because Zoe doesn't realize she is 80 pounds and could really hurt Sammy right now. 

Zoe and Sammy are becoming fast friends. They are snuggling with each other as they nap.

It's crazy in our house right now but it's also so much fun. I am very glad we got Sammy and I know Zoe is very happy to have a playmate at home. Max also loves to watch her and take care of her too.
