Meet Crockett!

Meet the newest member of the McConkey family, Crockett! Our first "child" together. Crockett, named after the infamous Sonny Crockett on Miami Vice is a 7 week year old German Shepherd. Born on March 23rd, his Mother is black, tan, brown, and grey, and his Father is 100% white.

Crockett at his first vet appointment.

He did so well and weighs 14.8 lbs.

The Dr. kept saying, "Oh he's going to be a big boy!"

First visit to Petsmart!

We moved our lives temporarily down stairs for the moment. We blew up the air mattress and put it in the family room. As you know with a puppy, or any kind of baby for that matter. They tend to wake up, poo, pee, eat, sleep at all hours of the day and night. It just seemed easier to park it down stairs for the time being. We're crate training Crockett and it seems to be going okay. He's not a fan of being locked up and cries for about 6 minutes after we close the gate. But then he lays down and naps.

Justin surprised me at work on Sunday with baby Crockett! A co-worker of his knew he's always wanted a German Shepherd and let him know she was expecting a litter in the very near future. Low and behold the litter came! Seven weeks later we now have our little handsome man!

Roxi is being a trooper. She's still super possessive and definitely not interested in entertaining such an energetic puppy but she's handling it okay. We've had a few growls and minor fights initiated by my little orange dog, but it doesn't seem to phase Crockett. If anything he responds with a "bring it on Bitch" type attitude and talks back! It's actually really funny! Roxi'll have to learn sooner rather than later because this puppy will surpass her in size really fast!
