Wrangler, Meet new Roommate

To start off I live with one roommate, have since I got Wrangler, and all has been good. We just recently had a new roommate move in (Now there is the three of us) and all of us have dogs.....
Yeah... I am sure you can imagine. Wrangler however is already the biggest (And she's only 4 months old... WHOOPS).
The new roommate has just kind of finally moved everything in and gotten herself relatively settled. Last night us three girls were downstairs having a drink and when time came for Wrangler to come inside it was like Wrangling the beast...
She listens so well when it is just me in the room, as soon as you add other people I may as well be speaking Chinese! She was wiggle butting all around this poor lady. You could see Wrangler was trying with every fiber of her being to stay calm but her body just betrayed her and she couldn't sit still, bum squirms, feet twitching, tail flying maniac.
I am sure the lady is fairly convinced there is a monster living upstairs haha.

Aside from the roommate shenanigans we did manage to squeeze in a good walk yesterday. Played some fetch in the field. My mind was poorly sidetracked as I was texting... Bad momma. She had some fun just ripping around though, being young and crazy. Clearly didn't help burn off any energy haha! Is it possible to tire a puppy out? I don't think so...
The night ended with a slightly tipsy me, cuddled up in bed watching Grey's Anatomy, with a still mischievous Wrangler who refuses now to sleep in the bed with me.

From the Beginning

It all started Monday, January 19, 2015. That is the day I brought a little slice of chaos into my life, and I have never looked back!

Wrangler, born November 21, 2014 was a little blessing (and I am not a religious person, but I seriously believe this).

The first night I brought her home she would not leave my side... Not that I am complaining it was sweet as could be! Wrinkles falling all over her stout awkward body. 4 white paws, and a white tipped tail, splattered in random brindling. My heart, well... It melted.
 

Quickly I learned that I had brought home my new best friend. At first she was cuddly, sweet, loving, sleepy... So well behaved. Then it all changed. She wasn't so tired anymore, full of puppy angst and ready to rule the roost. Nothing could stop her, no patio door or wall too thick to run full bore through, right? Wrong.

She quickly met her housemate, who was less than impressed with the addition to the household. Keyna is a 6 year old Pomeranian cross, who I am sure did not want to put up with any puppy shenanigans. They quickly formed this strange bond that I am not too sure is a healthy relationship I should be condoning but hey, whatever floats their boat.

Wrangler grew, from pup, to even more awkward gangly pup (Didn't think that was possible) and now at 4 months has a set of spider legs on her weird body. Some days she rocks a Beiber hairstyle with one ear floppy mischievously to the other side of her face. In my eyes she's perfect.

She is becoming the master of the offleash... At 4 months old I couldn't be more proud. Loves the dog park and ADORES people. Too much maybe. If given the choice a stranger is definitely more intriguing than me any day :P. She's given me so much love, unlimited laughs, and I cannot wait to see what is to come.

New Tricks:
Sit
Wait (For food, toys, etc.)
Paw (Shake)
High five (Left and right)
Wave
Beg
Speak
Come
Nice (If she starts biting, saying nice automatically redirects to licking)

Favorite Toy (Right NOW):
Ball, we are loving fetch time, probably because it means being offleash.

Favorite Chew:
EVERYTHING. Mostly raw bones are winning out, and trachea's

Random Fact:
Wrangler is insured through Trupanion with pet insurance, never had pet insurance before so I will keep updated on how I find it.
