Darlin' new baby in family.



Yep, we got Miss Daisy a playmate - well. . . she will need to do some growing but they are already playing together.

"Darlin' " is tiny, only two and a half pounds at nine weeks. It is hard to keep her still on the postage scale so that reading is a bit high in the picture. :0)




 She is very smart and learned the puppy door the first day she was here. She did have to jump up at first to get out and in it ( it is a LARGE pet door), but HD put a block outside to make it easier for her. Now she runs in and out with no problem.










We had her checked out by our vet after we got her and she did have some small problems that a couple weeks of medication will take care of - fleas, worms and puppy mange. The marks on her head are evidence of the mange. She is doing very well after the first couple of days of medicine. She is very lively and playful.

Of course, we will have the usual "potty training" but hope it will go really fast with the puppy door.



















Daisy has been great with her. She must know she is a baby and is very easy with her. She lets Darlin' have any of her toys INCLUDING her bone. She won't even let ME have her bone!!! We bought Darlin' a little bone but she likes Daisy's better.


She also likes Daisy's little bed better than the little tote we set up for her.
























It looks like we have a toddler living here from all the toys on the floor.







Twin beds for nighttime!!
 I cover the front of Darlin's bed to keep the light out and she sleeps a bit longer. We are up to 3 am now. WooHoo!!
