Homecoming

We had a bit of an adventure today. Less than 3 months after getting our house we now have the dog.
Today we brought Emmie home. Emmie is a 15 month old yellow lab and she is the cutest dog in the world. We are in the process of adopting Emmie through Brookline Lab Rescue. http://www.brooklinelabrescue.org

We met with a volunteer from Brookline at a cute little park in Quakertown. We signed a lot of paper work and then we got to meet Emmie. It was love at first sight. We walked her around a bit and then we all hopped in the car and headed home. We had to take a detour to Ikea to pick up a missing piece for a dresser we had bought Saturday. Emmie was a little nervous in the car but she settled down, until we hit the rumble strips at the turnpike toll. She did not like those.
After a brief rest stop at Ikea we hopped back in the car and headed home. We made a stop at Petsmart to get a walking harness for Emmie, she likes to pull a little on the leash.

We got home and Emmie met the neighbor dogs, Coal and Pooh Bear. Emmie had a very good time investigating our house and yard. She really likes to lay down on the wood and vinyl floors.

After a light human lunch we took Emmie on a walk over to the Elementary School she pulled a bit at first but by about halfway through she calmed down and was walking very well.
Now we are back home and plum tuckered out. Movie time.
