One pup, that is! I am excited to introduce the world to Miss June Pressly, our black Labrador retriever who is just as sweet as can be. Justin and I have been talking (slash) searching for a few months for a black lab puppy to bring home. A few weeks ago, we came across a litter in Roseboro, NC (essentially the middle of nowhere) and we fell in love with this little cutie. So one Wednesday night, we loaded in the car and headed to pick up our pup!

I can honestly say that a baby 7-week pup is more work than we were expecting. The phrase “you never really know until you’re doing it” comes to mind. The constant potty breaks during the night to make sure she isn’t wetting her kennel have been tough but Justin and I have been a great team through the potty training phase and so far, so good!

I’m sure every new puppy mom says this, but June has got to be one of the smartest! She’s already sitting, coming and staying (kinda) on command and it’s only been two weeks! She fetches pretty well too, but I can’t tell if she really knows what she’s doing yet. Her favorite toy is her squeaky duck, which is great since she will be a bird dog next winter.

It’s so much fun to watch her grow and learn what is good behavior. She’s the world’s best snuggler, has the nastiest puppy breath and eats so fast that she forgets to breathe. If you could only hear the silly noises and snores when she is cuddled up next to you, it would be love at first sight for you too!
