Another addition to our family

Hannah is here!  We adopted a puppy at the end of May.  Unfortunately we discovered Ely had hot spots the night before we picked Hannah up so he wore "the cone of shame" for a few weeks as he healed.  It was chaotic, but time flies and Hannah has already graduated from her beginning training class.

The morning after Hannah's arrival!

The dogs are getting along wonderfully, with Ely modeling mostly good behavior for Hannah.

This is her story from the RAGOM site.

RAGOM fans, welcome to Miss Hannah Banana! Hannah came to us from a loving home who just didn’t have the time it takes to care for a young pup. She is 4 ½ months old, born on December 25th, so a Christmas baby!

Hannah gets along with our 12-year-old dachshund great. Sometimes Hannah doesn’t always catch Heidi’s signals of when she is done with playtime, so we have to help her out; she can be VERY energetic at times. Hannah is for the most part potty trained. She gives signals by walking to the door and looking out the window. I still have to keep my eye on her, because if I don’t catch her signs she will go in the house. Luckily for us, she has chosen the kitchen tile as her accident zone and not the carpet! She is a very smart girl and is learning quickly about all the potty training rules. When we come in from outside, Hannah knows to go to the treat jar for her big reward! She evens knows that to take a treat she has to sit and stay. Like I said, she is a smart cookie. :)

 

Hannah absolutely LOVES her people! She is definitely a lap dog; no matter what she is doing, she has to be touching you. As I type right now, she is laying her little head on my toes. As much as she is a cuddly love bug, she also is a very energetic puppy. She has the puppy teeth that like to chew on any body part or thing, and sometimes it can be a little tricky to get her to stop and calm down. That being said, she gets along with children, but I recommend children a little older who are able to handle that and who have adult eyes on them during playtime or Hannah’s random energy bursts.

 

Hannah is a sweet girl who will be a great companion to her forever family. Hannah has a lot of love to give! Hannah will need a family who is up to having an energetic young puppy around and who will be consistent in puppy training. Hannah is a smart girl that with a lot of time, patience, training, and love, will thrive!

Here are a few things to remember before you race to email your placement advisor. 

• Puppies are a LOT of work in their first year!
• Puppies have small, immature bladders and cannot go a full work day without being let out. You will need to make arrangements for a midday break until Hannah is about 6 months old.
• Puppies NEED obedience, manners training, and socialization! RAGOM gets many unmannered and under socialized dogs in due to a simple lack of training and socialization when they are young. This is a crucial time for puppies to learn so many things!

UPDATES:

05/30/2014:Hannah is one lucky girl and has been adopted by the R family!! She is going to live the Golden Life with her new mom, dad, sisters, and fur brother Ely, a RAGOM alum! I don't think I could have found a more perfect family for Hannah. She left with a new wag in her walk with so much excitement for her new life ahead. I am so happy for you, Hannah!
Thank you!
