My family has grown by one! (one puppy, that is)

[ZennaBug]

I'm sure most of you have seen a bazillion pictures of my dogs, Ava (a 6-pound fluffy rescue) and Milo (a 17-pound 'tweenie' dachshund).  On Tuesday, we added another baby to the pack.  I would like to introduce Penny!

A high-school friend of ours married a man whose family has bred mini doxies since he was a kid.  They have had about one litter a year and this year, we sent them a message to say that we were interested in a puppy!  I was nervous at first, wondering how the other dogs would react, so we took them with us.  Penny was the shy puppy of the ones that were available, but that was perfect since Ava tends to really avoid crazy puppies and I wanted one that she would get along with (Milo loves all dogs, so it wasn't as big of a concern).  She is a little nervous in new situations, but immediately looks to her new brother and sister and follows their cues.  With the help of Ava and Milo, she is walking on a leash pretty well already and has figured out that grass is for peeing!

Penny was actually a name that my husband had picked out a few years ago, before he ended up choosing Milo and having to pick a boy name instead.  This past year, we've both become Big Bang Theory addicts and watch it together every week.  When we were discussing names with our friend after choosing our pup, she laughed and told us that that the puppy has a full brother from a previous litter named Sheldon!  So Penny was the perfect name, it was fate!

Freakin' Cute!!!!!  I want a little cutie pie like that.  My husband doesn't think anything weighing less than 50 pounds is considered a dog.  Props for The Big Bang Theory reference!

Thanks!!    My husband and I both fell head over heels with her almost immediately.  She's already a spoiled little girl, that's for sure.

Hehe.  My husband is a big softie, he's a sucker for small dogs, just as much as I am.  Plus, we can have 3 in bed with us at night and still be comfy, lol.    I like big dogs, I just prefer to own little ones.
