Presenting Phantom

I really must be crazy….  I have a three year old, a 4 month old, work a demanding full time job and my husband is in grad school in Oregon… while I live in Colorado…..   And I choose to get a new guide dog puppy.  Like I said, I must be crazy.  But that being said, I could be happier to have a new puppy again.  I just couldn't stand not having a guide dog puppy around.  I will be co-raising this one again with two other friends.  Having the puppy only every third week will hopefully make it doable.

My fellow co-raisers were busy this weekend so I went to Littleton with my boys to pick up our new puppy…. Phantom.  He was born on 9/9/13 so is 8 weeks old.   After raising dilbert how was really big this little guy seems super tiny!  By the way, Dilbert is in Phase 7!

Here are some photos from the first few days with Phantom.

I was at a recent birthday party where Petunia's adoptive parents were at.  It was so good to see my spazy girl again.
