A FEW NOTES FROM PUPPY MAMA

These past two and a half weeks 

of this new chapter of my life - OUR lives

have been an amazing combination of

delight..

fascination..

entertainment..

exhaustion..

and pure joy!!

This little bundle, all of 3.5 lbs 

has dramatically..
unequivocally..

changed my life.

I've been an 'empty nester'

for many years

and aside from a very aloof cat

and a pair of finches

no one has depended on me

so exclusively for their care

for well over a decade or two

UNTIL NOW.

I am learning how to raise a puppy

making sure she has the very best 
I can offer her

So many decisions 

so many considerations.

like food

veterinarian, 

when and where to start obedience training

It all seemed scarier and more confusing 

than bringing home my first born!!

But it's all coming along and Luna Bella 
seems quite happy.

Her little tail wags so hard 
when either of us come home

her puppy kisses are so precious 

and now Mr. J. and I have something new 
and fun to talk about

aside from my job and his running of our cafe

that, in and of itself, is sweet.

Your puppy is just adorable! Sophie looked so similar but now has that "older dog" look. She is a very loving, dog. I adore the Maltese breed.

She is beautiful - and I know exactly what you mean! We got our first puppy in December and then another last month. They even have their own website at www.maxspen.com thanks to my hubby - the web guy! Have fun with your puppy

Hi Rella! Too cute dog you have. I also would love to live in that house you posted. Your blog is so nice! I need to take some time and really figure out how to improve on mine.
Just checking in with you and wishing you a happy Spring.

What a cutie! I hope you have more luck with potty training then I'm having. My little yorkie is 1 and a half and still hasn't completely figured it out! We have "accidents"!
My Lizzie is only 2 and a half pounds. So I can't even imagine disciplining her. That's probably the problem! If you pick up any helpful hints feel free to share! Enjoy your new baby!!
