Doggone it if we didn't get a pooch

We had been talking about getting a dog for a couple of weeks, and then all of a sudden, she was here! Her name is Abby and she is a Lhasa apso, twelve weeks old.



It was nice to see Sammi holding her when I came to see her at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Abby was very mellow that first night, probably nervous and scared to be away from her litter.



Zach loves the dog as well. He is the child least nervous of dogs anyhow.



Abby rides in the van with her new friend Sammi.


The first night she was with us, she cried and whimpered for some time. But she calmed down the next night, and she has been quietly sleeping in her cage next to Dad's bed. We set up an area for her in the back, putting in a fence and having a doggy-door installed.



By the second or third day she was more comfortable and frisky. Here she is attacking my feet.



She is very cute and has quickly become part of our family.
