Our Puppy, Piper

We finally did it.  We got a dog.  She is the cutest thing ever and the kids are having so much fun!  She is a Goldendoodle which is half Golden Retriever and half Poodle.  They are supposed to be very intelligent, kid-friendly dogs that don't shed and rarely bark.  We have the kitchen gated off so if she has an accident it's on the hardwood and not the carpet.  We are working on the potty training but it's not going as quickly as I'd like.  Of course, my expectations were unrealistic as I wanted her potty trained after the first day.  Hopefully by the end of the month she'll be just about there.
