Ivy

A few weeks ago I finally gave in to Andy and the girls repeated begging to get a puppy.  Andy's friend had a litter that was ready to be rehomed.   I agreed to go look.  That was all it took, once there I knew we weren't going home without a puppy.

Andy chose one of the three females.  After a day of tossing names around, we decided on Ivy.  It was one that I suggested.  She is a Blue Heeler, and hopefully will be a good running dog for Andy when she gets bigger.

It took Kiki about a week to start playing with her.  Sometimes Kiki looks at me with eyes that just seem to say, "WHY did you bring this thing home?"  They are getting better around each other with time.

We're crate training Ivy.  The first few nights were rough, but she's currently letting us sleep about 6 1/2 hours at night before needing a potty break.  After going outside, she'll sleep for a little while longer.   That is a relief!  We're still working on potty training.

I like her pretty well now.  :)

Kiki and Ivy.

She's very playful!
