April 2, 2011There are too many things to say about these two new additions to our family. Andrea and I each bought a Yorkie today. I chose a boy and named him Bosten; Andrea named her girl Jayla. They're brother and sister and so adorable. I wish we could have taken her sister to keep them all together.
To be completely honest, I'm nervous about raising a dog, but it definitely will be good practice for when I become a mother. I did a good job with Sparkie but I was sso young when we got him, I didn't have to do the training.
The puppies are six weeks old and teething. Jayla's further along but Bosten's got old-man-without-dentures teeth. It feels so funny when he bites, or should I say nibbles you.
They've had a couple potty accidents today, but not as many as I thought they would. Maybe we will get lucky again like we did with Sparkie.
Andrea took them over after Kelsey dropped them off Saturday to pick up some of Sparkie's belongings: dog bowls, treat holder, blankets, leashes, etc. I met them after I finished cleaning, didn't even stop to change out of my uniform. The parents of course fell in love with him. After we put Sparkie down, Dad said they weren't going to get another dog. After seeing my Bosten, however, he was ready to change his mine. And steal him from me!
My biggest scare was introducing Bosten to Danny, who prefers larger dogs like Rottweilers. To my surprise, Danny fell in love with him instantly. Here I thought I was gaining a second cuddle buddy when my number one steals this new one away from me! I'm happy Danny likes him so much though. I love watching him with Bosten.
