Update

Wow!

I have a 26 month old, an 11 month old, and an 8 week old.

Need I say more?

I love our new puppy, I will say that right off, but she has definitely changed the way our family works. Zoe has been really, a pretty good girl, but she is still all puppy.

Jenna has enjoyed her and enjoys even more being her boss and saying "no" to her. I don't know how many times I have told her, "Jenna, she is sleeping, don't tell her no!" Seriously, Zoe blinks and Jenna is scolding her. Jenna does well with her though, runs around with her and gives her toys.

Now Jocelyn, well that is a whole different story. She isn't happy about the new thing taking over her house, her play room, and her mommy. This is what gets very difficult because I can't put her down without Zoe jumping on her or licking her which sends her into a screaming fit. And as most people know, it is quite impossible to make dinner one-handed. This presents a huge problem.

Sam, well, he is just not a big dog fan, so we will update you on him in another month! :-) No really, I did catch him out of the corner of my eye running around the backyard with her. I had to sit down for a minute because I almost went into shock! And he has been picking up the many landmines that have attacked our yard. Sam does think she is pretty cute and sweet...when she is sleeping.

And I, of course, love her because I have always wanted my own dog, and a big one for that matter. I am looking forward to the days when she responds to her name, doesn't nip at our feet, furniture, or carpet, doesn't piddle on our floors, or chew on the girls toys, you know, I am looking forward to her non-puppy days. Is that asking too much?

Oh, and I should say, our babysitters (Amy, my mom, and Sam's mom) have been absolutely wonderful in taking care of Zoe as well as the girls. We realize that this is a huge favor that isn't easily repayable. Thanks guys! :-)
