Shayne kept suggesting and suggesting that getting another dog would be so great for our boys. I was skeptical - and Danny would beg and plead and tell me all the things he would do if we got a dog. I finally agreed to "look" at dogs - well, 4 hours later we had a puppy.
A BRAND NEW TINY PUPPY PUPPY!
She came to us when she was only 6 weeks old and it was like having a baby - except she did sleep through the night starting on the 3rd night. Having older kids though has been helpful - they did the all-nighters for those first few nights and I do love seeing how much Danny loves and plays with Zoey. In the last 11 weeks, she has grown so much - we aren't so sure they told us the truth about her mix but, oh well - she's ours no matter what.
Zoey has a 2nd home - when I told my friend Becky that I had a brand new puppy she BEGGED me to leave the puppy with her while I went to work. She has become Zoey's other mom and her 5 dogs are Zoey's best friends. Today I stopped by and took a few pics of Zoey attacking/playing with her friends. And before I realized it - she had climbed up on Becky's back to play in her hair - oh that silly puppy LOVES Becky. But I know she also loves her boys here in our home.
This is a favorite video of Zoey playing with a bell - it was so funny! She had a similar reaction to a balloon. She cracks us up.
And she sings each morning when Danny starts his piano practice - she's a better singer than a guard-dog!
Potty-training is the worst - but I feel like we've taken a huge leap forward this week. No accidents in the past few days and I am thrilled. She loves to chew shoes (not good), paper, bite Skyler's jeans and play basketball with Danny (mini ball and mini hoop in the family room). She has definitely been a fun addition to our home. Hopefully the potty-training process is nearly complete and we'll work on the running out of the front door manners next.
