Hi there! My name is Jenna. I grew up in the pacific northwest (on the Oregon Coast) but now live in Cypress, TX (a suburb of Houston) with my husband, Josh. We just got our first puppy after years of waiting for what felt like the right time.I've always had labs in the family growing up, but neither of us has had a puppy of our own as adults. It's a big commitment but we're so excited for this fun adventure.
Our little boy is named Deschutes, "Chutes" as his call name. (It's pronounced "De-shoots" or "Shoots.") We just picked him up from the breeder yesterday. He's about 7.5 weeks old.
We'll probably have questions to bounce of other lab parents so glad to be a part of the forum! Hi to you all! Also, can't get enough of sharing pictures of our new little baby. We're new puppy parents! Haha.
This was when we met him for the first time, choosing him from the litter (at 5 weeks old):

What an exhausting first day. Long car ride, new smells... sleep, sleep, sleep... eat, drink, potty... pass the heck out again. #puppyproblems. Lol!

Gassy first day, but getting comfortable in his kennel it looks like. Haha.
Ok, that's all for now. Thanks for humoring me, y'all and letting me share! We are so in love already.![]()

Welcome to you all! Deschutes is awfully cute! My 4 year old still sleeps belly up sometimes in the crate. (btw, at her age the crate is optional)

Welcome! I live in Bend and love the name! Thor and I spend a lot of time hiking along the Deschutes River and meet lots of doggy friends there - I think it's perfect!
