He's home!

[Crazy Doodle Lady]

Well after 3 hours of sleep I got in the car for a long car ride to pick up my doodle baby.  It felt like the drive would never end, I just wanted to hold my baby and tell him all about his new life.  I arrived in town an hour early to refill the gas tank, stretch my legs, get some coffee and yes a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts to take home.  We don't have a Krispy Kreme anywhere nearby so this was a big deal!

Finally the time came to get my boy.  He was very happy to see me and gave me a bunch of kisses.  (Something Bear has never done.) I put him in his crate with the door open so he could be next to me.  He slept on my arm the entire way home.  He did get car sick and throw up once but then he fell asleep and had sweet puppy dreams the rest of the trip.  

Once we got home he immediately went potty outside.  When we came in I gave him some food and water which he was more then happy to take.  I can tell already he loves to eat.  Bear was always a grazer.  He'd eat a few pieces here and there throughout the day but I think Dexter will be the complete opposite.  He LOVES to eat!

We played with every toy, explored every area of the house and cuddled for hours.  He is the sweetest little boy.  So happy and smart.  I've been taking him out every hour and after eating, drinking, playing, waking up...... He's successfully gone potty outside every time so far.  Hope this continues.  Bear never had a single accident in the house and I know I can't get that lucky twice but here's hoping!

Then it was time to meet his brother.  Bear was SO EXCITED to see Dexter but poor Dexter ran away crying.  I had to hold him and reassure him that Bear was going to be his new best friend.  Now they are peacefully sleeping on the couch next to each other.  I know they are going to be quite the pair.  I am going to have my hands full for sure.  

I am completely and utterly exhausted to the point of making myself sick but I am enjoying the moment.  My Bear Bear finally has the playmate he's always wanted.  Here's hoping I get some sleep tonight!

What a cutie.  If Dexter is a super eater Bear might learn to eat a little faster. :)
