It has been sometime now since I have posted on my blog.
alot has happened in our family in 2012. We lost our beloved Goldberg back in the fall, 2012. he was 15 years old. My little mom passed right before Thankgiving, 2012. Bless her heart. She was 93 years old and suffered for 3 years or more with altsheimers. We also lost our beautful 30 year old Arabian geldin, Pablo December of 2012. Needless to say 2012 was a bad year for us.
They say, time heals all wounds and I guess that is true. They will all remain in my heart and memories. It has taken me some time, but I come to realize it is time to move on. I still have my boy Adin. He is a 5 year old golden and a little dog I saved from the highway Neagan, although he is an outside dog.
We now have a new addition to our home. Her name is Alexi, Lexi for short. She joined our family in March. She is a very beautiful little girl. I guess I forgot what it was like to have a puppy in the house, since Adin is 5 years old. Boy is this little one a handful! She gives my big boy a rough way to go!. You would have thought she would have been afraid of him, since she was just as big as his head when we got her, but that is not the case. I have a feeling she is going to be the boss around hear!
She is now 13 weeks old and is growing like a weed! We our working on the potty training right now. It is coming along ok if you take her out every 30 minutes or so. One thing I always do with my puppies is to crate train them. I feel that is the best way to do it. Normally they won't mess in a cage, unless it is too big. We are working on our second cage, since she out grew the first one.
Chewing is another thing we are addressing at this time. So far, so good. She hasn't really torn up anything of value as yet. I make sure she has plenty of rubber toys to chew on. Between them and Adin, it keeps her pretty well occupied. She is at the point now where she is getting ready for her new teeth, so I have to pay close attention to her. Puppies are like babies when they are teething.
I know it seems like alot of work to have a puppy, but it is so worth it! To watch her grow is a beautiful thing. It does take alot of patience though. Right now she is hiding under the day bed, so i better see what she is up to!
I am posting a couple pictures of her. I am sure you will agree she is a beautiful little girl!
