The newest addition

So. Because we seem to be more than content building our little funny farm. We have a new addition.

Meet Sofi.

 
Her father is a Bernese Mountain Dog and her mother is a St. Bernard. Right now she's ten weeks old and weighs just over 16 lbs. We're expecting her to be a biiiiigggg doggy. Which is exactly what we wanted in a yard dog for the acreage.

Her story is actually a pretty cute one. Keith and I had found this breeder back in the early spring and were planning on getting a puppy from the fall litter when we moved out. Well the fall litter came a little earlier than we expected so we went back and forth back and forth back and forth about whether to get a puppy now or to wait until the early spring for the next litter. After much debate (MUCH debate), we decided to wait.

Then I left for Calgary to go to my brother's wedding and when I came back on the Sunday Keith had gone to get a puppy.

Love. 

Nova is handling the change pretty well. For the first few days she acted as though the puppy didn't exist. Then she went through a big of a "disgust" period when she realized the puppy wasn't leaving. And now she's actually doing pretty good with her and runs around the back yard and tries to play with her.
 

She's catching on to the house rules pretty quick (she has a lovely role model to look up to - thank you Nova!), no woofs allowed in the kitchen, etc. She gets along with the cat great, and we're looking forward to watching her grow (and grow and grow and grow!)
