Barkley

We have added another mouth to the family.  Barkley is an eight-week old rottweiler puppy.  We got her from a breeder in North Carolina--we tried to find some in Colorado, but we really wanted to get the puppy right at the end of May in order to maximize the time at home Bode and I would have with her.  Yesterday, the little girl boarded a United flight (no, she didn't get kicked off), and we picked her up at the cargo terminal at DIA.  She was quite exhausted last night, and she zonked out with her new boy on the couch.

Joey was too excited when Barkley showed up.  Plus, he's about eight times as large as Barkley, so I can understand why she was a bit skittish around Joey.  However, as time went on today, Joey mellowed out a bit and the two started to sniff each other.

Barkley is either up and about and very active or zonked out on the floor in various parts of the house.

She's sleeping in a kennel and doing great (at least she did the first night).  She was up at 4:45 this morning, so I'm quite tired, but otherwise, it was a fine first day with the Barkster (and yes, the name is a nod to Charles Barkley, who is an Auburn alum...can we ever do anything without it relating back to Auburn? :-)
