She's Home!


I brought our precious Allie home Friday night. She is the teeniest, cutest, sweetest, YUMMIEST little puppy I have ever seen.

I have had NO sleep, except what catnaps I caught on the couch with her snuggled up next to me (she does NOT like her crate and her puppy bed). Daddy has informed Mama that the single best way to attract women in town is to tote around a puppy. DH loves her, just sent me a pic message on the phone of her snuggled up to HIM on the couch (said she couldn't get her nest made). So everyone's happy (albeit exhausted, I am buying a ticky clock tonight if we go to town).

She is just adorable, she takes every step we do, and every time I stop, she gets between my feet and lays down. She has a stuffed Big Al plushie that she's about to shake the stuffing out of. She has a chew bone that DH said she went and fetched out of her crate (this is an improvement, I usually have to fetch it FOR her).

DH was upset that she seemed to like me better, until he had her by himself today. I tried to explain that I was all she had seen to speak of all weekend, so naturally she was sticking to me, but he's convinced now. I think they'll be fine.

Thanks to all the fellow furbaby mommies and daddies that gave me such great advice!

i must have missed this news??

how old is allie?
what kind of pup?
regardless, nothing compares to adding a doggie to the family unit.

enjoy her, angel.
and don't sweat the small stuff.
if she doesn't adjust to the crate, no biggie.
what matters most, is the love given/received, enjoying ea other's company.

hello, my sweet precious puppy.
i adore you already...

Hey, Leslie, this is the early Christmas for DH I was talking about.

She will be 7 weeks old on the 19th, and she's a CKC registered Scottie.

DH is home with her today, so I'll get to love on her when I get home. She's so cute! As soon as my hands, arms, and legs heal, she'll be even more cute! Loves to chew, that one.

Oh I'm so glad you brought her home!

Your story about the "chick magnet" reminded me of my two teenage boys who took their baby brother to the basketball game and were instantly surrounded by teenage girls.

Babies and puppies . . .sure fire chick magnets!

Yeah, my uncle used the baby line, and then my father discovered that a pup was just as effective. You can't take those two anywhere. Last night, I told DH that he has puppy duty so I could take a bath. I bought Allie this cat collar, because it was all the pet shop had that would fit her (an Alabama collar, no less, I am a REALLY good wife. Course, I bought Smokey a TN VOLS collar as well ) and it has this little dingly bell on it. Thank GOD for that bell, or we'd never know where she was!

So, there I am, washing my hair, and I hear the tinkledy-tinkledy-tinkledy coming down the hall, look up just in time to see her streak by the tub and around to the commode. Here comes DH..."Honey, have you seen the dog?" As I had soap in my face by this time, I just pointed and ducked under for a rinse. I raised up in time to see her come trotting back out, just as proud of herself as she could be, with the bolt cap from the commode base in her little teeth. DH looked at her and asked "All those toys we got for you in the living room, and you had to come ALL THE WAY in here for THAT?" I swear, if a dog could smile, she did, she was so pleased with herself.

Now, if I'm this bad over the PUPPY, I hate to think how I'll be with the human variety!

puppies/doggies are indeed, one of life's major nourishers.

oh my gosh, your doggie has ears just like mine...
one up and one floppy.
today for the first time, stuey lifted his leg to pee...
where did he learn that??

either way, the proud mommy (that would be me) said in my best high-pitched voice, "good boy, stuey...good boy" followed with lots of nuzzling and kisses.
i have to tell you though...
it has been my experience that boy doggies aren't as intelligent as girl doggies.
makes me love him even more.
