So we packed her up in her carrier and went on our way to bring our new family member home. The 40-minute drive home started off great, but as we drive extended she began to whine and cry. I felt bad leaving her in her carrier the whole way home, so I unzipped the top of it revealing a distressed puppy. She stuck her head out and looked around. Gradually becoming shakingly nervous, she ended up climbing out of her carrier and onto my lap. The carrier ended up in the back seat and she sat in my lap for the remainder of the drive. The itching pain of her little sharp claws scratching up my arms and legs grew more intense. Such an extensive drive for a puppy alone with new people can be unbearably nerve racking. As we drove up the long driveway of her new home, the new Zapzalka puppy looked out the window for the first time the whole trip. Finally out of the car, we ran around in the tall grass and around the giant trees. We played catch with a tennis ball that she could barely fit into her mouth. Hours later, I fed her the first of many suppers at the Zapzalka farm and put together her bed for the next couple of weeks. I through a blanket, some toys and a little bit of water in a massive cage hoping that would be all she needs throughout the night. Knowing she would grow up to be an outside dog I did not want to confuse her by letting her sleep in the house, so she ended up staying in the garage all by herself. She cried for hours and hours into the night. Two times throughout the night I woke up to go check on her. Still, she has not gone to bed but continued to cry. Once she saw me open the door and come towards her she started to settle down a little bit. To try to comfort her I would open her cage and lay halfway in next to her so she would calm down for about an hour. The next morning I let her out of her kennel and brought a blanket outside and spread it out
