Meet Miley

(Yes, another break from vacation posting...I promise I'll go back to it someday!!)
We got Dustin an early birthday present last week when we got home from Florida. Something he's been wanting for quite a while...his own puppy! We have been looking all summer, and finally found Miley at the Edmond Animal Shelter. She is part beagle, part Australian cattle dog, 3 months old, fixed, has shots, and is a precious dog! She is really good...doesn't bark too much, loves all of the kids, and pretty soon she'll be the ultimate perfect dog, thanks to Petsmart obedience school! Dustin is taking her every Sunday for 8 weeks to puppy training, something I've never done before, although I've always had dogs. So far, (it's our first week), it's working! It really is, I'm not just saying that. She responds to a clicker very well, so hopefully that's a sign of good things to come.
Here is Roxy wondering who this strange dog is: Dustin lovin' on his puppy:
Resorted to carrying her in after a walk. She was worn out and he couldn't get her to come inside!
Sleepy puppy:
We love our little Miley! She won't be little for long, but we are enjoying her. And, yes, in case you were wondering, we got the name from Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. Dustin was coming up with names like Spotty, and Brownie, and so we all came up with a bunch of girl names, and Miley is what he chose. Thankfully.
