Baker says hello!

What an adorable baby that is joining your family. There is going to be so much fun, I think ahead to all the Sheltie shenanigans, kisses, mischievousness and of course all the zoomies! But most important of all is the love, loyalty and companionship that you will share with this beautiful little soul.

OOps - forgot to put the little guy's name in his name...lol
For the record, Baker will be "Shakerag McAtee's Baker, Kissed By Trace".
I think it has a nice ring to it.
Had fun today buying some new toys, both snuggly & chewable, and some special treats for Toby.
Hard to believe that 2 weeks from now I will be snuggling with little Baker - going to be so hard to go to work. Hubby is lucky (and we are fortunate) that he works out of a home office, otherwise this would be pretty difficult to pull off.

Bittersweet night tonight...when Trace got sick back in January he peed twice on the carpet & once overnight in his crate (over the course of losing appetite & passing away 10 days later).
Wanting the new puppy to have the best chance at housebreaking I don't have to worry about a smelly carpet - replaced that with tile this Spring. Even tho I had cleaned the crate after Trace's "accident", I worried that the new guy's sense of smell might detect urine in the crate. So...brought it up from the basement & went through disinfecting, rinsing, a white vinegar rinse & a final rinse.
I know this is a good thing to do for little Baker, but makes me cry because I feel guilty for "washing away Trace". I will forever have a special place in my heart for that dog - he was my sunshine.
I am so happy to have little Baker entering our lives to help take some of the sadness away...
wouldn't ya think I should be done crying by now??? Maybe it's because Trace is the only dog I ever entered a competition ring with - a special bond that only others that have trained/competed would understand?

I can so relate to those emotions. I remember after my Fable died I cried my eyes out when I cleaned up her last poop from the corner of the yard...anyone watching me would have been sure I needed to be committed.
Sending you many hugs...Trini
