[QUOTE="Andy, post: 429802, member: 5096"] I just changed my Avatar to our newest fuzzbutt. She is 8 weeks old and came home last Saturday afternoon. I am still trying to figure out a nickname for her. She is Sweet Puppy's baby sister. Our homecoming: You know how puppies are often scared when you take them away from their 1st homes? I remember Sweet Puppy was very timid and frightened. The new puppy is anything but that. She is sooooo confident!!! She licked difficult child's face and was so excited to go home with us. Very happy! Felt like this was HER plan all along. She had never met us - We picked her out from pictures on the website. That night difficult child slept on the floor by her kennel. The next night we put Diva Puppy's kennel next to the new baby. At bed time, we put them in their kennels, turned off lights, and went to bed. Diva puppy started crying - she did not want to spend the night in her kennel so I let difficult child take her to his room (which had become her routine) leaving the new puppy alone in the darkened entry way. No problem!!! She was quiet all night. I got up in the middle of the night to check on her and she was sitting there quietly waiting to get out. I took her outside for a few minutes and put her back in the kennel to go back to sleep. Not a peep out of her! It has been like that every night. She settles into her kennel without complaint. Very content :) Even so, I can't wait until school is out so she doesn't have to be in the kennel so often. She is into chewing but prefers my skirt or pant legs or stocking feet. We try to give her a toy to chew on instead of us but she would rather disregard the toy and come back to the original item being chewed on. Her energy level is a little more than Sweet Puppy's was, more intense, but still a calm mellow puppy. I am happy with how quiet she is! :) Diva Puppy does not like her. She will tolerate the new kid on the block but is often annoyed and doesn't want to play 24/7. I think she does not like the strong self esteem this puppy has. New puppy doesn't seem to need Diva Puppy to show her the ropes. Diva wants to take Dvia Puppy with her. I hesitated thinking that Diva Puppy would be happier staying here and that the new puppy would need the companionship also. However, seeing that they are not the best of friends like Diva and Sweet Puppy were and the super confident level of the new puppy, I will allow Diva to take Diva Puppy to see if Diva Puppy will be happier living with Diva. I just want what is best for Diva Puppy. I want her to be happy where ever she is at. She is Diva's dog and misses Diva. She was super upset when Diva paid attention to the new puppy. We can always bring her back if it doesn't work out. I just can't come up with her CD board nickname but I will update my siggie again once I figure it out.
