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):
Car ride home, nuzzled into mom's arm:
Starting with hand feeding:
What an exhausting first day. Long car ride, new smells... sleep, sleep, sleep... eat, drink, potty... pass the heck out again. #puppyproblems. Lol!

A few more pics.
Gettin' some love on dad's lap while mom sneaks some pictures while I'm not moving so fast:
He loves sprawling with his hinds legs out. Lol. Cool grass feels nice!
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.

Congrats and welcome to the forum

Very sweet!! You're in for wonderful times -- exchanging affection and learning from each other!! Congratulations............
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)

“Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

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!
Welcome!!!! He's a real cutie, and love the dark yellow color!!!!
I love his name. And, he's a cutie pie. Welcome to the board, hope to see lots more photos as Chutes grows up.
