Oakley Robertson!



Well after his long waited arrival our puppy is here! He is a miniature beagle and his name is Oakley. We had to drive to Nebraska which was quite the trip! He thought it was only like 9 hours well it ended up being 11. It was just a lot further in Nebraska then we hoped. The drive was not bad at all. Braxton and i didn't get any sleep before we left though but we made it through. Braxton can drive forever so i was lucky! I slept a few hours but mostly stayed awake to keep him awake! The breeders lived in a really small town called Beaver City. The population was 641... including squirrels, birds and the snakes! The people that we got him from were SO nice. We stayed and chatted for about 30 minutes then we turned around and were on our way back to UT! We thought the ride would be HORRIBLE. Most dogs don't like the car so to put him in the car for 11 hours was not going to be fun. BUT he was GREAT! He slept a lot of the time and when he needed to go the bathroom he would let you know. He would cry and start getting really excited to, so we would stop and sure enough he had to go. We would go almost 3 hours between bathroom trips and he did fine. If he wanted to go in his kennel to he would go. He either slept there or on our laps! He is just so cute. When we got home we were SO tired though. We hadn't had good rest for over 48 hours. But of course when we got home all he wanted to do was explore so we got about 4 hours of sleep that night with him wanting to go to the bathroom and stuff. We have only had one poop accident and he has started to pee twice but we caught him before he could even do it! He is still a puppy though. We are trying to litter train him as well so when we aren't home he knows what to do but it is tough. He fights with it a lot so we are trying to work with him. Although to our surprise we left him by himself yesterday for 3 hours and he went pee in his litter box which was really exciting because he is actually learning something! And there were no accidents on the floor! It has been really fun though. Stressful but fun. I guess this is just preparing us to have a baby hah. No i am not announcing anything i am just saying.

Well other then that life is good. Braxton is doing good in school and finals are fast approaching! He will do good though like always. Work is still good. I am still enjoying the food court. My friend Andi is leaving me and going to the front end again.. but i will manage. There are a lot of fun people who work in there! I think i am going to go eat some breakfast! Here are some pictures to of the trip ENJOY! This is a sunset in Nebraska.. blinding but pretty.
At a rest stop somewhere!

He loves his toys.

Parker and Oakley! Oakley was a little to excited though so they didn't get to play much.
