The Beginning

Today is the day Lacey is set to arrive from Birchhurst Kennel in Vero Beach, Florida. Lacey was delivered on November 8, 2009 via C-section along with her two siblings. She has cleared her health check, gotten her shots and will be on a plane in a few hours traveling from Melbourne, Florida to San Francisco, California.

She is eagerly awaited. A shopping spree has resulted in food, bedding, and chewing materials all awaiting her. A gate has been affixed to the kitchen door and we are learning how to go through it without tripping ourselves up.

An appointment has already been made at the local vet to get her licensed.

A puppy in the household will cause some major changes. It has been 15 years since either of Lacey's predecessors were puppies. The rest of her new family were considerably younger then, too. So Lacey will not be the only one making adjustments this day.
