I know all about that. My Sheltie pup Ella Mae had me as soon as I picked her up! We are inseparable now! Follows me everywhere.

Kira is adorable! Wishing you many good years together!

Great looking puppy Alan, all she needs is TLC.

Going to be fun watching her grow up. So enjoy. I must be a pushover cause every dog I've ever had has my number just as soon as I pick them up.

Yep....that’s why my pooch pak numbers 4.... AND. NO. MORE!!!! I’m too busy now trying to out-live them all!

We had a great first night ... went to bed around 8:30, my normal ... ... Kira woke around 1:30 and we did the potty thing ... we came back in and she played about 20 minutes or so and fell asleep again. She didn't wake up until about 7 am. So, pooch and dad are pretty well rested.

Kira is all rested up and has gone into a play like crazy mode ... for about an hour ... then sleeps for an hour to hour and a half ... I'm glad for the sleep time .. LOL ... she is wearing me out.

She's only had 1 accident in the house ... an that was when we first got home. Kira was running around "looking" and I had forgotten that's what puppies do when they need to go. So, she did a dump in my bath room .... she did find the right place ... LOL ... it was like a little tootsie roll ... since then, she's got me trained to be alert to the "potty dance" ... we have a routine ... we play for a bit, sleep for a bit (I mostly just rest), then potty ... repeat as necessary ...

Just to bring trikes into this ... ... I'm glad I got the trike shocks done last week ... it's gonna be awhile before she's ready for the trike ... but I have a plan, she's had the doggies on already, but she's not real fond of them, she doesn't even like her collar .. ... she'd of made a good hippie ... she likes free ranging. I'm doing collar and goggles a bit each day, not together.

Step 1: Today we get used to playing in the pet palace, I figure a week or so for this step. Today we are also doing a ride in the Jeep's car seat.

Step 2: I'll move the pet palace to the trike and let her play in it a little bit each day. Maybe another week.

Step 3: I start the trike and let her get used to the sounds for a bit. Maybe a week of this too.

Step 4: Short rides, increasing in distance until she's comfortable.

I think she'll do fine with the plan, she isn't afraid of anything ... even Annabelle ...

And I think I'm the teething ring.

Puppies have sharp needles for teeth...It takes a while for them to learn jaw control..

It the sharp teeth helps them to hold on to a Teat during competition with other siblings..

You Ma'am have firm grasp of the obvious!!!!

How does the saying go....Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me..

But 3 Times.......

[FuzzyWuzHe]

But ... there are times when it all seems worth while.

Woke in the middle of the night night before to a "snuggle" ... couldn't resist, had to snap a pic.

[ol' school]

Alan, I believe that little girl has you sucked in to her grasp already!!!

[consitter]
