It's A Girl!


We are so happy to announce the arrival of the newest member of the always-expanding MacGillivray family. Her name is Gracie, and she is a beautiful 9 week old puppy we adopted from Maranatha Farm (BTW- best place in the world to adopt a pet for SO many reasons, including lifetime boarding, vaccinations, and spay/neuter all covered under the $125 adoption fee). She is a veritable smorgasbord of breeds, but she looks mostly like a Lab right now. In the photo above, she must have been having quite the dream, because her legs were kicking around and she was panting. So cute! She has been such a great little pup (knock on wood). Although very puppy-like, she's not at all out of control. She hasn't yet had an accident in the house, and she does great in her crate ("Gracie's cave" according to Squeege). She wears Evan out by chasing him around the house in excited little laps around the kitchen until they both collapse on the floor, so that's another plus to having a puppy around. Despite all the nightmares I heard about raising a puppy, I must admit that she has been a dream! I highly recommend getting a puppy for your kids- they'll both love it!
