The three girls........
Well, our life has been totally taken over by a 5 pound fur-ball!! Princess is a full-blown family member now. We've had her almost a month now and we can barely remember life without her. She is a great addition to our little family. Also the perfect size for our sized-down home. She can run from one end to another and get panting, she's so small! She's very playfull, cuddly and smart. We have taught her "ready, set, go" when we get in sight of home. She will race home and we say "in the chair" and she hops right up into a chair next to the door and flips over to let us take her harness off. Both her and Yvonne take turns being jealous of each other. Just like a kid, if any of us hug, she wants to get right in there for her share.
We have successfully crate-trained her. She goes to bed with Yvonne in her crate with a kong full of peanut-butter and kibble. She doesn't make a sound again until Yvonne wakes up and lets her out. She comes running up to our bed to say good morning and a day full of love and excitement commence.
She absolutely loves grass. She has her favourite spots she'll lay down in and then run back and forth with a little growl of playfullness. She's quite the ball full of energy!!

Announcing, our new addition.....Princess!!
She has been with us for two weeks now, so you can tell how she's changed our lives. Those last few moments of the day we used to update our blog are now taken up by potty training the new baby. Princess just turned 4 months old. She is a very calm puppy, but has her rambunctious moments. First thing in the morning, she's about as wound up as they come. She goes nuts for a while. Then she spends her day curled up at our feet, following Yvonne around, and going on walks. She loves to chase Yvonne at 100 mph. She can run fast for such a little squirt! Yvonne is being the typical kid and plays with her as she pleases. Mom and Dad seem to have to do more of the dirty work than the original bargain was for.....but what did we expect???
She's a lovely little addition to the family.
