Life with a Beautiful Shiba: First Two Days

On Thursday, David and I went to go pick Maggie up from the breeder! I'm surprised at how unable I've been to post anything yet! Maggie has been keeping us so busy! When we got there to pick her up, the breeder showed & talked to us about her hernia, gave us a giant bag of food to mix with her new stuff, and a blanket with her siblings scent on it.

Everything has really been great! Maggie absolutely LOVED the car ride home, which was totally crazy for us, as we were expecting the worst. She's been sleeping alot, but when she's not sleeping, she's playing with her toys. We even had our own mini-Shiba 500. Last night when it was bedtime, she hopped right in her kennel with her blankie and slept all night. We were prepared to wake up and take her out through the night, but at 6am, neither David nor I had heard her make a peep! We got dressed real quick and as soon as we turned on the light, she was sitting in her kennel just waiting patiently until we woke up. She hasn't gone to the bathroom in the house once, and earlier, she ran right up to the door to go outside! I'm pretty sure she was born housebroken & crate trained!!! Hahaha love it!

My dad texted me first thing this morning to ask how much pee and poop was on the floor and was totally surprised when we told him how well-behaved Maggie is! He thinks something's wrong with her! But he doesn't know very much about her breed, so I guess I can understand that. 6 months ago, I would've thought the same thing! :P

Today, we took her out to run some errands. The Apartment office ladies SWOONED over her and even gave Maggie some treats! Then we went to our Insurance Agency to work out stuff from the accident with one of the office girls, my friend Lori. Maggie completely FELL ASLEEP in her arms while we were talking, and then when Lori set her on her desk as we were trying to leave, Maggie just spread out and fell back asleep on her desk. Unbelievable!!! After that, we took her to PetSmart as a treat. We blocked the big holes in the cart and let her ride up by us and everyone loved her! All the clerks said we won the Cutest Puppy of the Day Award. Hahaha, we were so proud.

Here are some pictures of her first couple days!
