Stupid Baby Tooth

I am such a big boy now but apparently my 1 baby tooth didn't think so and wouldnt come out. I had to have it surgically removed and I was not happy about the whole process. I couldnt eat this morning and then they gave me medicine that made me sleepy and next thing I knew my tooth was out and I was feeling weird. The only good thing was that all my friends at GAVH took turns fussing over me, and I do love to be fussed over.

Obedience Class

AP has been taking me to Annapolis to learn Dog Obedience which is just a fancy way of saying do what your told. I had fun with my instructor Laurie Neomany and AP. Turns out I am pretty smart for a little guy. My figure 8's are not very pretty and my formal recall always ends up a little crooked but I earned my certificate.

Adopted

I was adopted from my rescue home in Virginia on tax day and taken to my new forever home in Maryland. My new human had a friend drive while I laid in the backseat with my new forever mom, AP. I was a little nervous but AP started singing to me and I soon fell asleep.

When I woke up we were at my new house that has a big back yard and had been Tonka proofed. AP spent a whole week making sure the electric cords in the house were wrapped in a tough plastic and that the back yard was all fenced off with plastic fencing so I couldn't get into anything that might hurt me. She cut all the tree branches that were down low off so I couldn't get poked in the eye and put fresh cedar mulch around all the trees so I could feel and smell where they were. All the objects with corners in the house were scented with vanilla and a carpet runner was put down from my crate to the back door.

After checking out my yard and my new crate we were off to meet the vet. I don't think anyone had ever seen a puppy before because they were all fussing over me. I met Dr. Woodburn and he looked in my eyes and ears and listened to my heart and looked at my belly where I had my hernia surgery. He said I was A OK and would see me again real soon for shots.

When we got home I had a hard time with the steps but the house has a ramp so I can go down the ramp out the side of the house and get to the back yard. I think I am going to like it here.

My First Operation

This is me before my surgery - I was not only born with bad eyes but I had a hernia that had to be repaired before I could be adopted. Pitiful looking aren't I.

Such a Little Guy

This is me at the Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue in Virginia

before I was adopted. I had great fun with Victoria who took really good care of me. That is the couch that I loved to jump off of.
