And amazingly, so did I...

I got up at around 9 Thursday morning, worked 3-11 shift on Thursday night, and decided there wasn't enough time to sleep between the time I got home and the time I had to be at the airport (4 am) I was either at an airport or in the air from that time until 11:30 last night. It took three
different airplanes and 4 extra hours to get out of Minneapolis. Long day
and a bad hair day besides.

She was actually very good on the planes, charmed everyone at three
airports, and even was quiet through the night last night. Thank God,
because I really needed some sleep! LOL Her first experience with her puppy play pen this morning gave her a chance to demonstrate her incredible lung power as well as her admirable stamina. ;-) She's been up and down the stairs, checked out just about everything, taunted the big dogs and the cat, and launched an attack on my left ankle from which it may never recover.

The first time I opened the fridge, she climbed right in to the bottom shelf
and came out with a package of shredded cheese. NO FEAR. I stuck her in the soft airline carrier so I could take the Big Dogs out, and by the time
we came back in, she'd gotten it unzipped and was just making her exit. BIG SMARTS.

Right now she's learning about being sat on. Other than some trouble making peace with the fact that the legs of metal folding chairs don't feel very good on teeth, she's doing quite well.

A little Devil with the face of an Angel. I am going to adore this dog. Thanks to RTF for helping me find this puppy!

Andy, she's too FAST to take pictures of! At least give me time to teach her a sit/stay! Even a GOLDEN girl needs a day or so to learn that! LOL

Here she is in her present state....

 

[Andy Carlson]

That picture of her lying down is just hysterical!! Everything is in focus except that tail wagging a mile a minute!

She is a cutie!

I missed this post over the weekend.

Your Hannah (with all her brothers and sisters) spent the night with my Hannah (11-year old daughter) when they came into town a week ago for one night. My Hannah was thrilled when she heard the pup's name! And Goose did nothing but bark at the pups from his run in the garage.

You'll have to keep us updated on Hannah's growth. She's a wonderful puppy!

Hi Goose,

Small world! Yes, I have some photos of the Hannahs. Thank your Hannah for me for indulging MY Hannah's appetite for hair so my hair is safe, at least for a while.

Your friend, The Litter Raiser Guy, is a wonderful man. He did a GREAT job with these puppies! Thanks for letting the crew stay over. Every step in getting Hannah to me is appreciated!

Hi Teri,

She IS darling, but you must have a heckova eye to be able to see it in the blur that is Hannah these days!

And M.? I appreciate your offer to rescue me, but I think I'll hold on to her another day or two. :wink:

 

[hhlabradors]

Told you it would only take a day or two. Here's her sit/stay at 60 days old.

 

[Suzanne Burr]

What a cutie!! After looking at those "blurry" tail shots, and reading about what she's 'accomplished' at your house so far, Eleanor, I think you ought to call her Hell Raising Hannah!
Hey, Miriam, she doesn't want to live in a cold snowy climate--she needs to come to sunny California and play with my puplets. And I just checked my refrigerator--I have a package of shredded cheese just waiting for her!

LOL This is SOME pup. I couldn't have made her any better if I'd picked out each characteristic and put it in there myself. One of the things I was really excited about was that the breeders seemed to understand exactly what I wanted. And so they did.

I laughed at your name recommendation. Her registered name is planned to be Amigold HH Wholly Hannah, because I was worried that "Holy Hannah" would offend some people, and I was pretty sure the AKC wouldn't let "Holy Hellion" go through. :wink:

 

[AmiableLabs]

I love the pictures!

Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on your beautiful new pup....Hannah is absolutely adorable! Let the games begin! Enjoy!

Here she is with her "place" command today. I'm not kidding, and this isn't a candid shot. She goes to "place" from 5 feet away! The problem is getting her OFF her placeboard. Cookies are served there, and she's staying!

She is a doll.
