Today was a big day for the Simon Family. Zeke and Zoe' came to live at Norman Ridge Lane in Raleigh. We were not sure when we left the Patterson's home is Cary if they were going to like the ride to their new home in North Raleigh. Zeke tried out his vocal cords most of the ride while Zoe' slept in her car carrier.
They had their first walks on their new leashes, first dinner in their new dishes, played with their new toys, had treats when they "did their business" outside, and scooped out the downstairs of our town home. As you can imagine, we spent the afternoon yesterday at PetSmart preparing for their arrival. We needed two of everything. It was like preparing for twins!
They had a little trouble standing up on the hardwood floors today as they were use to walking on carpet. It did not take them long to figure out where their food and water dishes are located in the laundry room.
In the late afternoon, Jason, Meredith, and Amelia came over. Amelia immediately loved both Zeke and Zoe'. She gave them both lots of huggs, kisses, and loved petting them. It was amazing how gentile she was with the new puppies. She did get a bit jealous when Mommy Meredith had both puppies in her lap and insisted that she get to sit on "HER" mom's lap. We all enjoyed our Italian Dinner that Bubby prepared. We believe that spagetti with meat sauce is one of Amelia's favorites...Besides COOKIES, of course!
Amelia learned to say "shushhhhhhhhhhh" with her little finger over her lips as she did not want to awaken the puppies while they were sleeping in their new crate. How CUTE! She is a loving little one! Jason and Meredith have done a FABULOUS job thus far with little Amelia!
We hope that the rest of the family will love Zeke and Zoe'. They have been really good thus far.
