Puppy Truck

Friday was a big day for Eve as well as us. She went back on the puppy truck. Alex and Stacie and Rob and I all went down there.

Before we could put Eve on the puppy truck, they unloaded the little puppies off the truck. We will be co-raising our next puppy with Alex and Stacie. Originally we were going to wait a while before getting a new one, but I thought it might help me not be sad about Eve to have a new puppy around. So, here we are!

The puppy truck arrived and we got a new puppy named Vigo. Before we had to put Eve on the truck, we got a few photos of the Eve and Vigo meeting, as well as a family photo.

Saying goodbye to Eve -- I think I was prepared for the worst, but since Eve is such a happy and energetic dog, it wasn't as hard because I know she'll be happy wherever she is. The nice guys on the puppy truck were very thoughtful -- they said that they would take Eve into the hotel with them at night. She got a new bone on the truck and a few illegal treats, and off she went. She didn't look too sad to me, which made it much easier to leave.

Rob says his goodbyes. Eve says, "I'll miss you!"

Eve gets to meet Vigo for a few minutes.

Puppy Swap

Eve is growing up quickly, and before she gets too old I decided that a puppy swap might be a good idea. The idea of a puppy swap is so that you can know how your dog behaves around others -- what problems appear that you didn't notice, etc. So, I contacted one of the other women in our group and we decided to swap puppies for the rest of the week. Now Eve is at someone else's home, and we have a new puppy named Ashley. Eve and Ashley are about the same size, and I think they might even have the same birthday. We let them play in the back yard a lot, and Ashley was thrilled to chew on Eve's bones.

All that playing makes Ashley tired....

Ashley says, "I think I'm as cute as Eve, if not cuter, don't you think?"
