HARLYS HOME !!

WOW !..what an awesome week we had away in Alaska..God blessed us with so many wonderful "kisses"...rainbows so vibrant.. a perfect scene of 2 bears catching salmon and feeding on them.... beautiful weather to catch salmon.. and last day..an early flight which brought us home 2 hours early. Was a very relaxing and enjoyably time away.

I was not able to sleep too well. I wonder why?? mmmm....maybe because we were going to pick up one little boy named HARLY?? ;)

We arrived at the Breeders ( Bryan and Kirsten) house to find little HARLY darting around living room and then hiding under the sofa. I guess he was showing us just how to play hide and seek?? hehehe...we encouraged him out and then we were able to snuggle him into us and say HI our new fur-ever friend ! He was a little nervous to start with..who are these strange people???? .. but once he settled into my chest he became more settled.

I have so much to praise the breeders for.. Bryan and Kirsten are such caring, thoughtful and very gentle people who love their puppies and dogs so much. The way they always answered our emails..sent pictures..let us go visit Harly when he was 5 weeks old.. and the impeccable care they took of Harly and his brothers as they developed. Harly was a little shy to start with and Bryan spent extra time playing and encouraging him to socialize more with their 3 beautiful children and friends and family. We are so delighted with the expert care they took of Harly till yesterday when we were able to bring him home. Here is their blog link if your interested in checking it out, or maybe interested in purchasing a puppy !

Well....Harly was perfect when we got him home..settled right in...except not sure if it was nerves..or car sickness..he was great all the way home..til we drove into drive way...and he started heaving...and threw up a little as I put him out of the truck..but was fine after that..was just the once.... and .slightly hesitant for about 1/2 hour..but once he sniffed all over the house and found his play house and teddy..he was right..and very playful...he is great at going outside and down stairs and only 1 accident in house..as soon as we got home.like saying " Momma and Poppa..I'm home now..I just had to give you a homecoming present" ...hehehe..

Had a little trouble with him at night...did not like the crate at all...so put stinky toy ( smells of his 2 brothers..which is supposed to help transition him) in his bed...he didn’t want that either..he wanted to whimper at glenns side of the bed..for about 1 hour...on and off..we put him on our bed..for a little play time..but he ended up sleeping all night under our bed...it took me about 10 minutes this morning to find him..hehe...but he has a bed in our office...in the living room..and in our room..soo he has something nice to sleep on wherever we are :)

He loves my g/f's Yorkie, Bo..she came over and her Bo was sooo sweet and gentle with him...just sniffing him ..and laying beside him...letting Harly be the one to make first moves..was soo cute and sweet to watch :).. . Bo is 13 months..and just a gorgeous sweet ..well behaved dog.. one I’m happy to let Harly play with 1st off..dont want him learning bad habits...hehehe

He was eating great..once we gave him the eukaneuba...he wasn’t fussed on the innova..but we mixed the 2..so see how he goes..might if he doesn’t like the innova at all to buy more eukaneuba..

But all in all...was sooo pleased he settled in soo easy on his 1st day...he is sooo sweet and gentle..:)

WELCOME HOME HARLY!
