Welcome the new Zoo member.....


...her name is Jetta (yes, like the car) and actually only so far. We just got her on Saturday afternoon and are still trying names out for the weekend. This is what we are leaning to so far....we may just end up changing the spelling. She is an 8 week-old Border Collie X Lab. Last night went pretty well. After getting her we went out to Brian's Mom and Dad's house for what turned in to the whole evening, so that wore Jetta pretty much right out. She slept until about 1:30am in her crate. I woke up because our bird was having a flying fit in her cage (which I am sure that you all have no idea about how much noise this can make) and Jetta was whinning. I am not sure what happened first; if the puppy woke the bird and scared her, or something spooked the bird (which could be something as little as a fly buzzing around) and scared the puppy. Anyways, outside we went for a pee (Jetta; not me) and then back to bed. I only had to get up two more times after that until 8:30 when the kids got up and remembered we had gotten a puppy! The rest is history, as they say. But it is still only Sunday of the long weekend so wish us luck!

Kody just thinks she's a pest...
