Scout

We got her.

The drive to Harker Heights was just about 3 hours. We were so excited the night before that neither one of us could sleep. 

She slept the majority of the ride home. Occasionally she would wake up and change positions...they all looked uncomfortable to me.

Before we left Harker Heights, we stopped at Petsmart to get all the essentials. We bought the food brand she is used to, some toys, a bed, collar, and a leash.

She was cuter in person than in the photos we were given...if that is even possible.

I'm getting used to the needs of a puppy. I've never raised a puppy in an apartment before and that is something that I think is hard. Getting up to let her out every hour, after she eats, and after she sleeps is difficult. She will play for 10-20 minutes, pass out, and then do it all over again with some poop, pees, and feedings in there.

We gave in and let her out of the crate last night. We made the number one mistake. She wouldn't stop whining and we were scared the neighbors would complain. We let her sleep with us and Lance is a light sleeper and didn't get sleep.

I've put Scout in her crate twice today for a little over an hour and she is getting used to it. She whines for about 10 minutes and then passes out. 

I hope she can handle staying in there tonight. It would make for a much happier Lance and Rachel. We are both lacking in the sleep department.
