Kya

So.... Kya is pretty much one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

Corbin and I got Kya this past Monday in DuQuoin, IL.
On the way there, we quickly learned that this city was in no sorts a bursting metropolis, but instead, as stated by Corbin, "the place where creativity goes to die." This was only said because on the way there we crossed a muddy river called Big Muddy River.

After driving through the countryside, we found the breeder's house and were able to meet our baby.

Kya is the best.
She slept the entire 4 hour drive home without making a peep and by the end of a long day she could already recognize who her owners were.
She is already crate trained and will hopefully soon realize the need to go to the bathroom outside...

I am so excited about this puppy.
I await the day that we can teach her how to do cool tricks and fetch the frisbee at the park.
Until then, I will gladly enjoy the moments of her playing with my cat, doing accidental somersaults while she tries to scratch her belly, and waking herself up from barking in her sleep.
She really is like a baby.
I am quickly learning patience and enduring occasional frustration, but it'll improve.
Then I will finally be able to sleep past 7 am and hang out with friends later than 9 pm!
