We'll pretend this is a normal day and I'll be doing my normal things and, you know, working.
Yes, I know the whole team is in Orlando. I know I should be blogging. Good luck with that.
Rawley came out of his crate at the cargo bay like he'd been flying all his life. He was calm and happy and curious. I called Paula Pascoe, his breeder, the instant I got him out of the crate, although I had my brother, McKenzie, talk to her because Ronan and I were just way too busy loving up the new pupper.
He slept through the night, amazingly, although he woke up at 4:30 AM -- not too bad for an Eastern Time puppy. I took him out, and he finally peed; first time since he arrived in California.
Kyrie is handling it better than I expected, although to say she's happy about this would be a wild over-statement.
I posted more photos on my Facebook page. I'm pretty sure they're set to public, but if not, let me know!
Me and Rawley are heading for the park!
Photos: Top, Rawley's first morning, by me. Bottom: Me, my nephew Ronan, and Rawley at the Delta cargo bay. Yes, it's a terrible photo, but Gina threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't post a photo that included me! Blame her! Don't blame my brother, McKenzie, who took the photo. He was blinded by the cute.
Awesome Threesome!

I am so happy for you!!! Kyrie will love him soon I bet!! I remember when my Lucy lost her littermate Harry---6 weeks went by when we introduced her to her new brother Jack..and she was so distressed she jumped out of the car window (it was parked) but within the week she was using him as a pillow..and vice versa...How much fun you are going to have this weekend!!!

I'm so proud of this good little boy. I told Christie he's cooperative, calm and trusting, and so far it sounds like he's made good on those claims! Happy Puppy Day, Christie!

Congrats on the new puppy. Very cute!! As for the threat by Gina.....pffffftttt. I don't recall a photo with her included in it when Faybee was a baby. Or, now, come to think of it.

Good luck in having Kyrie come around. Twyla still snarls at poor Harper. Even thought I keep reminding her that she can still be the baby.
