We are dog owners again! Some neighbors brought home a golden puppy this summer and I started to get the itch. We contacted some breeders and recently found an available Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy (same as our previous dog Tatum).
Lucian and I drove to meet her and her siblings thinking we were one of 3 people interested in her. Turns out we were the only ones ready! We named her Frida; a nod to the painter Frida Kahlo and a childhood nickname of mine, Frida Dita.
We made the long drive over Labor Day weekend to pick her up, splitting over two days with a stay at a water park hotel! We stopped in Madison on the way home so she could meet her biggest bro:)
She is now 9 weeks and is settling in and adjusting to home life. My parents spent last week with us to help make her first days nice and easy. It was great.
Claire loves her and is very good with commands, controlling her and pitching in. It really seems she was meant to have a dog.
Good for Claire! Her own dog. What a gift from heaven.
