Settling in

Lordy - why didn't someone remind me how exhausting it is to have a puppy!!?

You'll hear the huge cheer going up the day she's big enough to 'do' stairs!!
Feels like I'm training for a marathon - carrying 15 lbs up and down the deck stairs all day and into the night!
Still haven't completely figured out the logistics of crate set up and training during the day... but I figured it out with my other ones so I'm sure this one will survive as well.

Seeing Oreo and Pearl play cracks me up... a total mismatch of size.

(don't you love the butt shadow marking?)

I'll say this about Oreo - she's determined and fearless!
Pearl holds back well and then, when she's had enough, simply knocks her over.

Seems no worse for the wear though...

Sorry about the quality of the pictures... something is seriously wrong with my 'good' camera - and I can't figure out how to find the time to get it in for evaluation and/or repair.
These are taken with my point and shoot - funny how quickly the standards get raised for what's an OK image!

Hopefully a world of normalcy, being able to run errands and get things done will return soon...
puppy logistics are confounding me at the moment!

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!
