My new chow

CIMG0819Well, I know I have left some cryptic hints about a new addition to the family.  Well, let me introduce you to Misty!  A full blooded chow-chow.  She is a beautiful dog and very sweet.  We had to drive 2 1/2 hours to a remote army base near Ansbach, Germany to pick her up but it was worth it.  We got home really late on Saturday night (10pm) and we didn’t know what to do with her!  But, we have started to get accustomed to her and she to us.  Of course, we have been learning by fire…she is having her period right now so there is a little bit of blood occaisionally and she is loosing her undercoat so she is really shedding.  So, that has been interesting but I love her and the boys love her and Kristin likes her so far. :)   I have had to work on her for 7 years to get this dog and she is really super.  She is good with the boys too and since she is already 3 she is house trained and out of that “puppy” stage.  So, good times for everyone! :)

That’s about it for now.  Things have been super busy around here and it just doesn’t seem to ever slow down.  Plus, we aren’t planning a long vacation until October!  Oh well…what can you do.  At least we can’t claim to be bored!

    A chow! That’s crazy….i can’t believe you got a dog…and to top it off, she isn’t spayed either. That would be the first thing to do on my list ;) Congrats and hope she fits in well with the family. When you come back state-side, are you going to be able to bring her with you?
