Raising Olive Rose

Well, we did it. We got a new puppy. Olive Rose is a precious 9 week old Australian Labradoodle. I haven’t had a puppy for 40 years and Sean has amnesia about what it was like with Yogi. Needless to say, the level of effort to raise a puppy was grossly under estimated!!! I’d like to share a few things about her as she will be a big part of this blog going forward.

She likes to play with her toys….

Antagonizing her big brother is pure joy for her…. Yogi mostly ignores her. He is such a sweet, sweet pup, it’s been a little stressful seeing how her presence has impacted him! It’s getting better, but not sure they will ever be besties.

Her poofy bed is one of her favorite places to lounge….

She likes to go on walks. She prefers to be on her own 4 feet but she’s also pretty good about hitching a ride….

Sleeping is one of life’s simple pleasures for her….

She feels all kinds of good feels when she is in her people’s arms….

She’s pretty much perfect for about 22 hours a day, however, she has her devilish moments that look a lot like this….

The first week was a little rough. We now know her cues and she gets better and better with potty training every day. Things are calming down for all of us and we are settling into a nice routine with one another.

Hanging with Sean, Yogi and Olive are some of my most favorite moments in life ❤️. We love her soooo stinking much and cannot wait to take her on all kinds of adventures.
