Thistledown's Yaina Ochoco, born August 16, 2008
Announcing the arrival of Thistledown's Yaina Ochoco, my new puppy! Potey and I flew to Minnesota this weekend to pick her up. She's a smart tike of a puppy! And as cute as can be. She was named Yaina because it is the "Y" litter from the breeder so you have to pick a "Y" name, Yaina means mountain. Ochoco will be her call name that gets used everyday and that is following my tradition of naming my dogs after mountains. After all she is a Bernese Mountain Dog!
Playing in the fall leaves her last day in Minnesota
We had quite a journey home after getting to spend two full days hanging out with her and the other seven puppies. After a three hour drive from a small town in Minnesota we got stuck at the airport with a canceled flight! The airlines ended up putting us up for the night and at 5:30 am the next day we were headed backwards toward Chicago and then on to Portland. We arrived home mid-day with a very tired puppy.
Napping at the airport while waiting for out second flight.
She was amazing on the trip, only whining for a total of about 2 minutes. She did do a little bit of nervous panting off and on, but was otherwise quite and calm and just hung out in my arms or in her puppy travel bag. We brought her on board the planes with us and she was quite a hit with passengers and flight attendants alike. (All but one grumpy gate agent!)
Spying on Titty Kitty!
Her first few hours at home have been spent romping in the backyard stretching out those tired travel legs. Too much staying still for a puppy! She got introduced to Titty Kitty with a gentle no-claw bared whack and that was the beginning of what will be a good relationship. Kitty showed her stuff and now they are sniffing each other nose to nose. That's all it took!
