Meet Echo

Meet Echo. She is our brand new 3 month old puppy that we adopted from the Ozaukee Humane Society.

She is such a doll and even though we just got her she has wedged her way into our hearts already.

The OHS thinks she is part Shepherd but I think we have decided that she may be a little Greyhound mixed with some type of Terrier. She is very mellow for a puppy and doesn’t bark much at all.

She doesn’t even mind that the boys constantly want to be near her, hold her, and play with her… even when she is tired.

She is currently being crate trained and has not whined once about being put in her crate at night. She has a small bed in the boys room for the daytime naps and then into the crate she goes at night.

We have let her get used to the house and new surroundings the last two days and have even taken her off the leash and let her run in the back yard. We only allow her off the leash when an adult is present for safety reasons and she seems to be pretty good at staying in the yard.

She likes to chase birds and sticks and is fairly adept at returning the sticks to her human. She still needs a little work on dropping them.

Mostly she just likes to follow her humans around.

Or if she doesn’t want to follow them, sometimes they pick her up and carry her to where they want her to go. She has been such a good sport about it and seems to just go with the flow.

The kids just adore her and can’t get enough of her, even though I am sure that will wear off in time.

She hasn’t been getting into a ton of trouble like I thought she might being that she is still a baby.

The hardest part is the potty training, but even that isn’t so bad with hard wood floors.

We aren’t quite sure how big she will get, but we are guessing medium sized, which is what we are looking for since she will mostly be an indoor dog.

Welcome to our family Echo.
