It has happened. We are parents. Pic at the bottom. We got up stupid early yesterday, got in the car at 3:10am and headed to PA. The drive was easy and straightforward. Since we left so early we didn't hit any traffic at all. We got near our destination, a farm in the middle of rural PA, about 7:45. We had agreed on 8am and we didn't want to get there early but we also didn't want to stop anywhere. Sadly, the area we were in was full of political signs that caused our anxiety to go through the roof. We found a parking lot we could basically hide in for a few minutes. We arrived at the farm a little after 8 and got to meet the litter. All three of the pups were almost identical and the same level of energy. We went with the one who was just a little bit bigger and fluffier. We also got to meet her mom and dad. I never thought I would have a purebred dog but here we are. The opportunity was just too good. It was as I suspected and Amish or Mennonite farm. Very nice people. They had a little general store, cows, chickens, etc. Was truly a working farm. Got everyone situated in the car and within the first 10 minutes she shit and puked. We're parents now clearly. We stopped at a local dollar general and loaded up on supplies. The next 4 hours were very long. We stopped periodically to let her out to pee and get used to being amongst people. We finally got home around 3pm and set in to get the house situated. We also have intituted a 3 hour pee schedule to get her trained. Yes, we have been up every 3 hours. I am about to do the 6am in a minute. Just until she is trained. She lived in a barn and never in a house. She is the perfect baby. I got her vet appointment lined up for next week to have a microchip impanted and to get her looked over. It's been a long 24 hours, but I am happy as fuck.
Here is the baby. Meet Sandy.
