We may have lost our minds...we rescued a puppy named Gracie from a local rescue organization. She is a Pooda Houla (a Poodle/Catahoula mix) and is almost 5 months old and comes with a bit of baggage... a little submissive around men/strangers, timid at times, peeing when scared, a UTI, and some intestinal parasites. All can be treated. We hope. :) So far, everyone is adjusting "okay" - it hasn't been easy, but every day is a bit better than the previous one.

meeting Gracie in the parking lot
(we had met her the evening before at her foster family's house in Port St. Lucie, FL)
meeting Reagan
(this is a PERFECT relationship as long as they can share one another's food and Gracie doesn't try to play with Reagan)
Sometimes I put Reagan on the countertop so she can escape the madness.
waiting for cheese :)
Both kids have been SUPER helpful with Gracie. :) I'm so thankful for that!
quick break for Reagan :)
(Walker loves her so much. The feeling is not mutual.)
This is the "bed" I slept inner to Gracie's crate for the first five nights. We're currently letting her cry it out at night, and it's been awful. Poor thing does NOT want to be separated from us. But she's still young and hopefully she will learn.
trying to coexist ;)
getting some sun
Reagan wants everyone to know that she was JUST fine without a puppy.
Wish us luck! Lots of work to do but I'm hopeful that she will get there. :)
