Saturday night we drove to Show Low, AZ about 3.5 hrs away and stayed the night. Then on Sunday we drove a little further to meet this little Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. We of course fell in love and decided to bring her home. We named her Kona after the Kona side of the big island in Hawaii since we love to vacation there with my family. She is a pure bred Rhodesian Ridgeback and is three months old today. She was born on March 14, 2010.
We drove the almost 4 hours home with her. She threw up, in the trash bag, within the first 10 miles of the ride. The rest of the trip she lay on my lap and slept, as you can see in the first picture. Once we got home we fed her and she scarfed down all her food. She played with us and mostly slept for her first night. We put together her crate with a comforter and put her in it for bed. I ended up sleeping next to the open door to the crate to make sure she was okay. She slept all night in the crate until 6:30 this morning when Scott got up and took her potty and on a walk. She seems must more adjusted today. She hasn't slept near as much and is playing with the kids and walking around the house. When Nathan cried because of a brother-sister argument Kona walked up to him and licked him to make sure he was okay.
As for the cats they are not so convinced this was a good idea. They seemed kind of okay with her last night until she moved, then they ran and have chosen to stay up stairs unless they get hungry and then they walk along the wall to get to their food. We are giving them lots of loves and of course treats in hopes that they will forgive us and like Kona. I think Cali got scared because of Kona, whose head is at least three times Cali's, sniffing her face. It was quite cute until Cali ran off:-).
Here are some pictures of our new puppy...

Isn't she a cutie!
