It's His Fault (Again)

The tiny puppy has been a major disruption. As soon as we all (cats and dogs) started recovering from the introductions with the "foster" pregnant cat and later her kittens, ta-da, tiny dog comes around and life's out of control again.

The chiweenie and I are on puppy patrol during the day,
but he still doesn't sleep through the night. 


At night, Charlie, the tuxedo kitten is in charge of puppy sitting.

The puppy only sleeps when he likes,
but that's okay because . . .

. . . at least he doubles as a pawesome hat!
( I sure hope anybody from PETA doesn't see this)

In all seriousness, this tiny two pound puppy, is a paw-full. The whole house is torn about his presence. The one who is most affected is Frankie, the chiweenie, M's barnacle dog. Frankie is torn and confused. On one paw, she is a "momma's girl" and can't stand the puppy taking up M's time, on the other, she can't resist the puppy, so she loves playing with him, when M pretends she's not looking. 
Today, puppy went for his first dog vet visit. Other than the disconcerning facts that he hasn't gained but a couple of ounces in two weeks and that the vet thinks he's a chihuahua, he checked out. He got his shots and we're all hoping he'll sleep through the night.

  12. Hi Twink,

    I'm confused. Is Junior living with you all the time or just visiting? I thought he was a foster sib for the Ridgebacks??

    He is purdy darn cute. We love little doggies with big ears!

  14. Two pounds???? How can he possibly weigh that much - he fits in M's hand. He is just so tiny - but still so cute. If he doesn't start sleeping at night, send him here and we will tire him out for you.

  15. It is always a bit chaotic when a new family member joins in. But he is SO darn cute! I love that Frankie acts like she doesn't like the puppy but then will play with him. haha

  16. He is such a cute little puppy. Frankie will get used to him if he stays around and she can teach him all the little sissy tricks.
