Edge's new coat

Time to buy a coat. Ohio weather is a little too cold for a boy from California. We found a very cute coat for a boy from a Firefighter litter. It is a little big, but I'm sure he will grow into it way too soon. Doesn't he look CUTE in his little coat :)

Edge does well for his first night. Only about 5 minutes of crying in his cage and then fell asleep and slept all night! What a good boy. He also showed me how to escape from a soft side. I set one up in the office and had the top open. He was asleep, so I went in the other room. He started crying and then was quiet. When I checked on him, the crate was on its side and he was exploring! 8 weeks old and already an escape artist! We spent the day exploring the house and yard and taking naps. What a great way to spend a Sunday.

We are home!!!

Saturday (Nov 29) at noon, We are home!!! Gary met us as at the airport as we came out and headed to the grass. He was so excited to meet Edge.

It has been a long day and a half, but well worth it. Edge is already sitting and giving full attention anytime there is food :) Edge's first toy in his new home, a bunny! As you can see, he is really enjoying it!

We also took a nap later in the day as we had a long night flying cross country.

As we continue on our travels from New York to Ohio, Edge travels like a pro. He did have a little bit of a temper tantrum as he wanted my breakfast sandwich and I tried to zip up his door. He just wanted breakfast too as it was 6:30 am on Saturday by this time. So we shared our first meal together, an egg and cheese sandwich :) While in New York he rode an elevator and an escalator. He is becoming quite the traveler before he is even 9 weeks old.

We meet!

On Friday, Nov 28, I met with Debbie and Bruce and met the Rockville gang as well as *Blue collar* (now known as Edge) and his 3 litter mates that were still at Rockville. It didn't take long to know that this little boy was the one. He would sit and stare into my eyes. There was a connection that is hard to describe. But *we* understood it. After meeting all the relatives, taking a short nap, playing with birds and puppies, we loaded up to head back to the airport. Edge and I flew from San Francisco to New York and he was a good boy. He slept the entire flight and even put his head on my foot to sleep in the plane (shh, we didn't tell anyone that he was not zipped up the entire time :) This is a picture of Edge in his little sturdibag waiting to board in New York. We're almost home....

The wonderful news

On Tuesday, November 25, I received wonderful news that this beautiful puppy was available. He is not only a Rock great-grandson, which ties him to Jag, but he also goes back to my to the lines of my incredible Catfish. The perfect gift from my awesome boys. After many emails, pictures and phones calls, I am off to California to meet this special little boy.
