We just got a new puppy! I’d been talking about getting a little dog as a friend for Max, but never got around to actually looking for one. Yesterday a cute little girl puppy fell into our laps and is now a member of the family.

As you can see from the picture, she’s pretty little. (That’s Jere’s size 11 shoe beside her.) I’m told her daddy was a purebread doxie and her mama was a mix of chihuahua, pomeranian and terrier. I suspect mama was at least half terrier, based on the way the likes to be in and under things (like in a den).

So far everything is going well. She’s eating, trying to get outside to do her business, although when she wakes up from a nap sometimes it’s too far to the door so we have had a couple of piddle puddles. Slept by herself last night without too much whining (she did wake me up to go outside though, so that’s a good sign).

Max isn’t quite sure what to think of her yet. Truth be told, I think he’s a little bit scared of her!
