New Puppy Bindi (Part One - The Bindi Chronicles)

On April 23rd Mike and I flew to Seattle to pick up our new puppy Bindi. We have always opted to rescue the older dog before, but something came over me and I got puppy fever!

Bindi has been a tour de force in the Stamp household and Mike and I have been learning about "All Things Puppy".

For the last year I have been reading many books on bringing up a performance puppy. Just like when I was pregnant with my daughter and read all the books on brining up baby, once the baby came, the books went out the window. No child and no puppy fit the profile defined in all the books. Now what?

One thing we have learned is that having a puppy is really fun. I know that sounds crazy, but Bindi has been a pretty darn good puppy. Maybe since Mike and I were expecting a weapon of mass destruction, and what we got was a normal puppy who needs guidance on being a good dog. Jubie and Kama at Club-Doggie have been wonderful resources for us and is making the puppy raising a little easier. Yes, there are accidents in the house and yes there is chewing, but we are able to make adjustments and make a little headway on teaching Bindi good manners.
