As many of you may have seen on my Facebook, we have adopted a sweet little boxer/terrier mix. I named her Elizabeth Taylor after Charlotte's dog in Sex and the City. TJ has asked me all year what I want for Christmas and with out fail I responded with I want a puppy!
Tiffany, a girl I work with at UCO, decided to foster puppies. The first one she fostered was Elizabeth Taylor. She posted her picture on Facebook and I knew right away she was the one. So we picked her up on Saturday and been in love ever since!
The pup is only 7-8 weeks old, so we have a long way to go on the potty training scale. She doesn't quite have a quick enough response time from "oh I have to pee" to "oops!". We are working on it. The first night she was with us, we all three slept on the couch together. She cuddled up to TJ, like he was her long lost love. It made me a bit jealous, after all, I am the one who wanted her! :) Last night Morgan came over for the first time. In case you don't remember, Morgan is the neighbors dog who thinks he lives at our house. We love him too! He seemed a little put off that there was another dog in the house and ran away. Of course this made me sad. Later that night when I was taking E.T. out (which is what TJ calls her by the way) Morgan came back over and came in the house. I think he was scared of the lightening. TJ calmed him down finally. Morgan slept on the floor, Elizabeth Taylor and I on the couch, and TJ in the bed. Tonight I am sleeping in my bed! I am exhausted! I love both dogs, but seriously, I am sleepy! E.T. did great. She licked my face when she needed to go out both times so score for us! Let's just see if we can keep it up.
I am so happy to have her at home. It is a fun dynamic to add to the Pemberton house and it's funny to see our discipline styles come through. So far, I am a push over for a cute face and TJ not so much! LOL!
