Our New Addition

Mitchell and I have a new baby in our lives. We got a golden retriever puppy this weekend. Her name is Lucy Lu (LuLu) Weyandt and she is precious!! We brought her home yesterday and had a LONG night with her last night. She woke us up at 11:30, 4:00, and again at 6:00. She probably would have slept better if we had let her sleep in the bed with us, but we are crating her. We heard that was best, so we are trying it. It was so hard to hear her crying and barking at night, and I felt so guilty from taking her away from her brothers and sisters. The training book that Mitchell is reading said not to give in when she cries at night, but it was so hard. We did pretty good though; I wanted to put her in bed with us so bad! Today, she was so much more playful and puppy-like. She is just precious! We are hoping tonight goes a little better.
