Christmas

Gee, did I get a surprise this weekend! My wonderful husband gave me an early Christmas present - a puppy! She is a ten week old Papillon puppy, who is just as sweet and playful as she can be! We named her Christmas, Crissy for short.




Crissy is certainly not a timid pup! She made friends with Axel right away. We were a little worried that Axel might think she was a toy, but she let him know with a tiny growl to back off. They got over it real quick and began playing. Axel even shared his huge doggie bed with her, which she played on with no hesitation. When we introduced her to the cats, Axel was protective of her, letting the kitty know that was his puppy!



We hope to do some basic obedience with Crissy before Waverly comes. This way she will already know the commands for sit, stay and go to bed for when we are busy with the baby. Crissy is already giving us lots of practice for Waverly - she cried all night because she wanted to be with us instead of in the bathroom. But, we toughed it out as a safety precaution until our household settles back down and everyone knows everyone really well. Plus, a crash course in potty training. :)

She is a wonderful addition to our family. I'm sure she'll make the last 10 weeks before Waverly arrives just fly by.
