Well, the day has finally arrived. I drove the almost 3 hours to Moorpark, where Sally Rosenthal was keeping the puppies for their final week, while she and her husband, Doug took a much needed vacation - to Savannah. I can't wait to hear more about her trip - but today was all about meeting Sally at (other) Salli's, in Moorpark to bring Muggs home, to Palm Springs.
The drive was long and exhausting - but I was busting at the seams with excitement. After a final visit with his brothers and sisters, it was time to fill out some paperwork and thank Sally for her amazing goody bag - complete with a photo of Muggs "mug" on the outside of the canvas tote.
I was nervous as all get out about the long drive home. David Madison, my good friend who spearheaded the wonderful gift of Muggs, assured me that I just needed a nice soft spot for the puppy to recline on and he'd watch the cars go by and sleep, and so forth. Whizzing along at 70 miles an hour, I wondered if the trip would be peaceful....albeit, lonnnnnnnng.
After a very little bit of fussing, Muggs kept trying to climb over to my (the drive) side of the car....that made me nervous. As it turns out, all he wanted was to splay out and rest his head on my lap......and the trip flew by. Muggs slept, with his head on my lap, the entire time.....And with no traffic - I was home in record time.
I've had David's dog (and Muggs' great-uncle) here for the past week, while David's been in Los Angeles.....when I got home Gryffin was kind as could be.....although a bit indifferent (no agression - just that look that said "who's this?"). After a very quick tour of my place, we went outside and Gryffin did his business - and Muggs followed suit......SCORE!!!! I'm sure there will be accidents - - but it was a pretty awesome start.
I'm exhausted - so here are some pictures - for now......
