Fingers Crossed

We have been selected to adopt a dog!  We're going to meet him tomorrow and we're so excited.  We have been scouring the internet, reading a book on Labrador Retrievers, scheduling obedience classes and creating a schedule in order to help our new family member adjust.  Here are some of the things we have learned:

• Putting boiled potatoes in the dogs food will help prevent it from having diarrhea.
• Labs are very eager learners; however, over-praising can be detrimental to their obedience training.
• When the dog first comes home he will be shown the house while on his leash, this will help to acclimate him to his different areas.
• People beds are for people, dog beds are for dogs; no exceptions.

Fingers crossed that all will go well and that we survive both the new dog and the hurricane that's a comin' this weekend!
