welcome home wrigley!

After a way long day yesterday, which included a flat tire on the way to the airport to get the puppy, she’s finally home with us and seems to be settling in. The story so far..

I was supposed to meet Becky (who is the woman who flies all over the world to pick up and delivery animals to their new homes. When I first spoke to her on the phone, she asked if she could call me back soon as she was on her way to pick up a cat in Germany. So not a conversation I’d ever have in my lifetime!) at LaGuardia at 11:45am to get Wrigley. But on my way I got a big fat flat tire right on the GCP. So not good. Thank goodness for On Star- they sent a tow truck (because you aren’t legally allowed to change a tire on the parkway) and took me over to RedLine Tires where they took excellent care of me and got me on my way super quick with a brand new tire. Even made a nice new friend, Luz the receptionist there who was fantastic and super helpful.

Finally made it to the airport, met Becky, got Wrigley who was more than slightly freaked out. Sat and slept in the carrier on the way back home. And has been loved up by the boys (and me) ever since. No accidents in the house so far (so hoping it keeps up) and she slept from about 11:30pm until around 4:30am when I took her out. And then back to sleep until almost 8am. It would be fantastic if this all lasted! The trainer is coming tonight to get us set up and her first vet appointment is on Friday.

A few pictures from our first day.

So you get an idea of her size. And ignore all the wet soppy towels. That’s from our washing machine breaking/flooding the kitchen earlier this week. A new one was installed today. I’d say it lasting for at least 17 years was a really good run but as ridiculous as it is I’m a little sad about it dying. It always did a great job, saw us thru 3 babies and probably literally TONS of laundry.

Between the washing machine, the flat tire, the puppy and all of her assorted costs- I’m hemorrhaging money this week.

She looooooves chasing Timmy around. He couldn’t be happier with that either!

Ok, gotta go take her out again. Working on client pictures this week so expect to see a few new blog posts.
