Raising up Puppy
I'd heard that taking care of a puppy was SO HARD, so I expected the worst. It's actually not so bad! Jerimiah thinks she's tough to care for because she won't leave him alone, but he does not properly utilize the puppy-secrets of peanut butter and chew toys. And I notice if I take her for a run, she'll sleep for at least an hour afterwards.
She's starting to get more of a personality now that she's 13 weeks. She LOVES to be on your lap, and to be turned over and have her tummy rubbed. I'm teaching her to sit, to stay, and not to jump or nip at my hands. She is sooooooo cute! Jerimiah took a gajillion photos, so that when you scroll through them, it looks like you're watching a stop-action film. Hah!
I planned out a garden for our side yard, plus some space to possibly put a chicken coop in a couple years. We're going to remove the wood chips this weekend and start landscaping. I'm excited. We want to plant some winter veggies.
Now that I'm all into the idea of having chickens, I've been noticing other people that have chickens. Sorta weird, huh?
