New Puppy
Yesterday, my father and I drove down to Deltona and picked up our new puppy. After about a year of my father always joking about getting another dog, it was finally nice to actually get one. Our family chose the name, Czarina, for the pup; however, I am not particularly fond of the name. My mother, on the other hand, is the one that ultimately decides on the name, and if she likes, then it sticks. I’ll just call her “Puppy” since Samara, our other dog, is referred to as “Doggy” most of the time.
Czarina, like all puppies, is rambunctious and we were looking forward to letting her play out in the yard until it wore itself out. Within 15 minutes or so of bringing her home, the expected afternoon showers decided to “bless” us with its presence and we had to move indoors. Since it was indoors for most of the night, it got exposure to the three cats we have. They are less than thrilled to have to deal with two dogs now, let alone a puppy.
So for most of today, I have spent trying to teach the Czarina some manners and tiring it out so it will sleep tonight. Samara has been slowly getting used to the fact that while she may still be queen of the house, most of our attention is being directed at Czarina. Hopefully, the pup will be easy to train and there will only be a few restless nights trying to keep it from howling and the rain will stop so we can start taking it out on walks.
