A New Addition

It has been three weeks now since our new addition to the family arrived, and it seems like she has always been here. She has blended in with everyone so seamlessly. Our dogs are pretty accepting of new dogs, so it really doesn't surprise me that everyone is getting along so well. Her addition brings us to an even 4 boys and 4 girls.

Welcome, Poppy Jane!!

Poppy came from our good friends at The Cheeky Chis. She is a half sister to Leo, and definitely has his same sassy personality.

She attached very quickly to me and runs all excitedly to me when I enter the room. I love how she sleeps on her back, totally relaxed.

When she gets too warm in her bed, she likes to sleep on the floor.

She tried on her first dress, but wasn't too impressed.

Poppy has also already starred in her first advertisement for Happy Howl dog food. You can see the ad here.

We are extremely thrilled and excited to have Poppy in our family. She will bring us so much joy for a long time to come. We are incredibly grateful to Jeanette, of The Cheeky Chis for sharing her with us.

Tormorrow is the Day!!

It has taken what has seemed like an eternity, but tomorrow is the day we get Cooper.

We have his crate, complete with his little name plate that we had made at the Rose City Classic dogshow this weekend. I have made him lots of BLUE BOY blankets. Can't have him using pink blankets that say 'Princess' and 'Diva' all over them!



We have a little collar and leash for him to use on the way home. We have toys, food, bowls and even some new clothes!

I ordered the girls' Valentine and St. Patrick's Day collars from Suzanne at Crazy for Collars and she included tiny little bowtie versions for Cooper! I can hardly wait for them to arrive in the mail.



Liz has sent me some more pictures, yes he still has his ears taped up and looks funny, but you have to look past that to see how adorable he is.



He went outside for the first time the other day and got to play in the snow with his litter brother.

We will be starting our road trip very early tomorrow morning. It is a seven hour drive to Spokane, and seven hours back. That makes for a very long day. The girls are going with us so that they don't get lonely all day, and to say hello to Liz.

I am so unsure of how the girls are going to react to him. I think Stormie will enjoy having a puppy to play with. She is always trying to get the other two girls to play with her, so I think she will enjoy that. Not so sure she is going to like having to share me with another dog now though. We will have to wait and see.
