Well, we just got back from the vet. Konst did very well and he’s quite healthy, if not a little on the rambunctious side. He’s very friendly to people and doesn’t seem to be scared of anything. They gave him a round of puppy shots and clipped his nails for us.

The vet also took the tape off his ears and cleaned them out. They were DISGUSTING inside. Just caked in black goop. So he went ahead and checked them for infection as well. But that was fine, not infected.

While we were waiting we went and bought him a backpack to carry on walks, and a pronged “pincher” collar because he doesn’t seem to care if you tug on his collar…he still does whatever he wants.

Anyway, he weighed in at a whopping 30 pounds…which is already almost double what little Daisy weighs!! I think we are going to have our hands full.

Well I am happy to announce that we have a new puppy!! We brought him home yesterday and he is just so stinkin’ cute.

Mr. Melbell and I took off work today so we could get him settled in and take him to the vet.

His name is Konstantin and he is 13 weeks old as of yesterday. He is from the Ukraine and we had to drive to O’hare International Airport in Chicago to pick him up. We don’t think he’s ever had any sort of discipline because he thinks it great fun to bite our arms, hands, and hair. Well, it’s not great fun, so we are trying to break him of that.

Mr. Melbell sat in the back with him the whole way home from Chicago and made pretty good progress getting him to calm down. But when we got him was very very riled up and anxious, probably from travelling.

He and Daisy don’t get along too well but I’m sure they will work it out…we hope anyway.
