Meet Penny!!
She is a very cute puppy but do not let those cute little eyes deceive you! She is a puppy with an attitude! Which means she fits in perfectly with our little family. Buster doesn't seem to mind her too much. They love to play tug o' war, she loves to nip at his tail and he loves to hit her with it. We are finding out that she has a lot of the same mannerisms as Buster. They are both very protective of their toys when the other wants to play with it and both of them like to nip at your ankles when they do not get their way or when they want to play. We don't have a gate to block her a room when we are gone or sleeping so we improvised with a cardboard box and duct tape. It seemed to be working until she figured out that if she jumps about 50 times on it she can push it down...Looks like we might have to invest in a gate.
Oh, and let me just add that right now we not only have ONE puppy but TWO! We are holding a puppy for Bryson's cousin while they are on vacation. So it is double duty...and when people say having a puppy is good training for having a baby, they really mean it. I never really took that statement to heart but now that we have a puppy, I wish I had listened to them. There is nothing like going to bed at 12:30ish after having to calm your puppy down then getting up at 4:30 to let them out then play with her until they falls asleep and lastly waking up and staying up at 6 because they need to go potty...and when I mean "they" in all those statements, I really mean the other puppy (Rocket) not Penny. Poor puppy does not like the crate...
All in all we are very happy to have her part of our family! We couldn't be more blessed with such an amazing puppy. We can't wait until she is fully trained and I don't have to run the carpet steam cleaner everyday :S.....
You are pregnant now!! Congratulations :) Another new addition!
