I drove to Gatineau from Montreal on October 16th and met an 8 week old chocolate lab mix. She was very small and had a white stripe on her chest.
I bundled her up and drove back to Montreal with her on the floor of the front seat of the car. The kids (boys 9 and 5yrs) were thrilled to meet her. Our 11 yr old lab, Amber, was not so thrilled at first. The puppy kept jumping on her and biting her tail. There was some growling that first night. We named the puppy Muddie. The cat is still a bit wary of Mud, the dog still doesn't know proper manners when it comes to dealing with cats.
In just three days Amber and Muddie were best of friends. They go for walks together, they lie down in the kitchen to catch any scraps together, they even drink water from the same bowl at the same time! Yesterday an over-zealous dog came charging at Muddie, who was tied up in the front yard while we were raking leaves. Amber immediately went between the two of them. The dog meant no harm, he was just playful, but Amber went into "protection" mode to ensure Muddie's safety. It was heart warming to watch.
Thanks for the chance to welcome a wonderful dog into our family! Sincerely, Laura S.
