And so the fluff came home

Yup. A puppy update!


Sammi is pretty cool! She is definitely a people puppy, which is both good and bad. Good becuase she is so cute and adorable AND LOVES TO BE CUDDLED! Bad becuase she is not able to amuse herself yet. someone needs to be playing with her whenever she is awake, and that's hard, even for a family of five. If no one is playing with her, she cries and cries. This morning I ended up putting her in the kennel - we were all busy - and covering the kennel with a blankie. She was still int he living room and could hear us, but she needs to be physically held or played with on the floor to be happy. After I put the blankie on her kennel she quieted down within a minute and fell asleep.


Smokey and Sammie are getting along together so much better than I ever imagined. At first smokey was excited about the puppy, wanting to sniff sniff sniff her, but after a day with no real response from the puppy, Smokey decided the puppy was nothing to bother and ignored it. Unfortunately for Smokey, and awesome for us, Sammi has grown comfortable enough in the house (she was terrified of the floor the first day and a half, having never before been inside in her short life) to really start playing. Sammi;s favorite game to play is bite Smokey's toes. Smokey is overjoyed at this development, but still doesn't understand that no matter how many times she brings toys to drop in front of Sammi, Sammi is just not big enough to play with those toys.



Watching the two of them run and jump and play is just the finniest thing ever! I have some video I have been taking and am going to try to crop and snip it into a video for all of you. I haven't time right now, but very soon!
