Our First Little Pooper



No, the baby didn't come early. Amen to that! Rather we got a puppy. Her name is Tessa, which is short for Brutesa. Of course that's the female version of Brutus, as in Buckeye! The first two days she cried constantly as she is only 6 weeks old. However, each day (today is day 4) she has gotten a little better. Today, she learned to climb our outside step and jump off the couch. It's really cute when she falls in a heap in the grass, but she is learning to walk in grass as well. She's such a cuddler. And yes, we cheer loudly and praise her with hugs when she poops outside! Too much fun. Everyone asks either 1) are we crazy or 2) are we getting practice for Little Boo. Probably yes to both.

PS: the cats are 5 times her size and very scared of her still.

More to come later!

SO CUTE. Is she in the beagle family?
I guess if you are going to get a dog it is better to do it before hand so you can get her trained before Boo arrives.
