A note: I haven't been blogging or running too much lately partly because work as been insane and partly because of this:

 

 puppy

My husband surprised me with this little girl when I came home for a trip to AZ in Feb. We'd been talking about getting our pup a new sister or brother, but was sure that the hubby thought we wouldn't have time for a puppy. He adopted her from a pound up in Rangley. Our friends and neighbors adopted one of her sisters- and that has been fun and helpful. We've sort of set up a doggie co-op for days when we have to be away for longer than 4-5 hrs at a time. So, we've had her for about 3.5 weeks and she's almost 12 weeks old.  Her mom was a great pyrenees and her dad a border collie, so we have no idea how big she will get. She's a handful, but incredibly sweet. Her brother and her are getting along marvelously.. our cat is not too sure yet, but is getting more and more interested in her. It will probably be a year or so before she becomes a regular running buddy- but she seems to have the energy for it already!

Great to have you back. What a cute puppy!! I love dogs. Puppies do keep you busy. It will be interesting to see how big she does get. From the pic it looks like she favors the border collie more than the pyrenees. Our son and his wife have a siberian husky pup. She is a handful and very head strong. Her markings are beautiful and if they keep the training up she is going to be a great dog for them. Have fun with your new addition!

Hey Stacy- sorry about being MIA.. this blogging thing is hard for me to do consistently.. sort of like my running lately! Need to change that asap.

Thanks for the compliments on our pup. She is growing like a weed.. 27lbs this week! I also think she is going to favor the border collie, which is totally fine with us. Our other dog is 1/2 border collie and 1/2 cattle dog mix and he is pretty smart and has a good personality. I really like Siberian Huskies too. Very pretty dogs. I've always wanted a big malamute- they are awesome. I grew up with Great Danes, so I tend to favor the larger breeds- but we just couldn't pass our pups up at the shelter.. too cute!
