The first 24

The first 24 hours went great! Molly slept in her crate (house) all night. I think she was up at 5:30 am. Andy was with her so he got up and let her out. Everyone was up early to play with Molly. She had her first appointment with the vet at 9:00. The whole family went with her for her first visit. This is a new vet we are using. I never really liked the one that Andy took Zack to so I decided to ask around and see where all of my dog loving friends go. We ended up in Dexter at Village Animal Clinic and I love the feeling there already. I really liked the vet we saw today. Molly weighed (almost) 11 pounds! 2 weeks ago when I met her she only weighed 5 pounds. I could tell when I saw her yesterday that she was a little chunkier. I guess so! She did not get any shots today. We will go back in a week to get her shots and to get her micro chipped. I guess we don't want to scare her on her first visit to the vet. Because it was SO HOT today,we stayed inside the air conditioned house all day. The only time we went out was to let Molly go "potty". She popped 3 times and went pee every time we took her out. She really wants to get in my garden and we have to shoo her out every time. We've had no problem with deer or rabbits (go figure) but we might have to put a fence around it because of our dog! After we returned from the vet appointment,Molly slept away most of the day. She would wake up for very short periods of time and slept for longer periods of time. I think the kids were worried about her because she was sleeping so much. I had to explain that they are like newborn babies and anything and everything they do requires so much energy. Plus,when she was up she played hard with the kids. Also,yesterday was a very busy day for her so I am sure the stress of a new home really wore her out. She is in her "house" sleeping right now. She only barked for about 10 minutes and I bet she is out cold now. Hopefully she will catch up on her sleep and she will start to settle into a routine with us. Pictures to follow soon.....
