Count Down...8 nights to Rua!

[Dori & Rua]

Only 8 more nights until our little girl, Rua, comes home. She weighs about 4-5 pounds right now (estimated by the breeder). The Dremel came today, as well as Clickers and the Clicker training book I ordered. I might of also stopped by Michael's and picked up $114 worth of scrapbooking materials (not sure what I was thinking...I am an accountant...but the stuff is SOOOO cute). I also just got the book "The Art of Raising a Puppy" by The Monks of New Skete. Any one have any thoughts or opinions on the book or know of another "must have" book?

Here is Rua at about 6 weeks or so.

The Monks book is pretty much our "owners manual". We read it 9 years ago and have revisited it for our new puppy. You might also check out "How to Raise the Perfect Dog" by Cesar Millan. The two have some differences in philosophies, but it's nice to get different ideas.
