Gracie Mae


She's been home for a week now. We LOVE HER. She is by far the cutest puppy ever! With her unique color, and squishy face we couldn't be happier. She's had a really good week learning her new environment and bonding with our family. Just in a week, she's sleeping up to 7 hours in her crate, using the doggie door and mastering the stairs. She's a smart girl. Dan and I are working on the sit command, maybe in a week we can master that...she is just to distracted by play time. She's definitely a cuddle kinda girl, as she was the pup at the bottom of the pile she loves to be surrounded by a one of us, a pillow or a snuggly blanket. Today she climbed into her crate on her own for nap time...it was so so cute!! Dan and I did the whole 'Aww...how cute'.
This was a week prior to her coming home...a puppy visit to make sure Tucker would like her...
Kyle fell in love with one of the black males, but once we heard Gracie was available-we chose her...he loves Gracie just the same. I think he really wanted to replace cute Mr. Bentley....But he is now Mr. Ruger, living on a Ranch outside of town.
The kids playing with Gracie her first day home...she loves the SNOW!! Our first real snow of the season, Gracie was up to her neck running, playing and eating snow.
See...Kyle really loves his puppy! Gracie loves being carried and bundled up. I just think this is so cute!!

Dan LOVES his new puppy! This was my gift to him-a MAN DOG. The kind you can put in the back of your truck and their ears flop in the wind, or they sit next to you in the passenger seat...going to the lake, fishing, going on hikes kinda dog. Gracie adores him, from the first moment they first bonded...lots of kisses!
The second day Gracie was with us, Dan was still on vacation and I had to go back to work-at lunch time, he showed up at work with this little pup in his arms...it was so cute! All the girls at work went crazy and how cute was Dan with his little pup..he was so proud. He whisked me off to lunch, bundling Gracie in his jacket and letting her sleep in his truck...It's so cute how much he loves her and how excited he is about her.

And if by chance you are wondering, Tucker is doing just fine with Gracie. They are learning to play together, and keeps watch over her, letting us know if she's being naughty. Tucker is such a good boy-he's so gentle and loving, we are so blessed with an amazing dog!
