Boeing

So, Traver and I got a puppy! YAY! I have been bugging him for a puppy for quite a while and I finally got one! On monday I got an email from someone at the base that had found a puppy on the side of the road and were trying to find it a good time. When we called there was another couple who was already looking so we figured we probably wouldnt get him but we gave them our info anyway, just in case. Well they called tuesday night and said he was still available if we wanted to see him. We went over and he was just too cute how do you turn that down! We brought him home and did a late night walmart trip to get supplies. The first night was kind of rough, he cried alot, I got up with him 3 times that night and by 7am he was awake and I had to get up with him. He was really good that first day, Traver and I both got some good time with him, but we both had to work at one point or another and they overlapped by like 3 hours, which meant the puppy had to stay home alone during that time, but he did great! He was better that night too, he only got up twice but he was awake at like 6 and ready for the day, so I got up, he is trying to make a morning person out of me, and I am so not a morning person! By the time Traver got up I had made a vet appointment for later that morning and we had to pick a name, because it is just sad to go to the vet with a nameless dog.

We had gone back and forth about names, we wanted something aviation related and been bouncing names around since we got him and just hadnt found the right one, by this point we were between Ace and Boeing, and we went with Boeing! Its perfect for him, and we love it! So we took him to the vet and he did great, the vet was really nice and Boeing was a trooper! They gave him his first round of shots and an ear mite treatment (and an ointment for us to use) and a de-worm treatment. They weighed him in at 5 lbs and he is between 6-7 weeks old, he is so tiny! We were able to get something to keep the ticks off of him too because they love him! Anyway, he slept most of today after the vet. We even had some friends over and he barely played with them, sleep coma apparently. So he was really mellow and they loved him, I wish he was like that all the time! He is just so cute and we just love him! We are in the process of crate training him and its been hard but he does really well so far!
