Well about a month ago, we added a new member to our family. Yes, she's a puppy and no, Olive is not a fan.
House divided.
Her name was Twiggy, but we changed it to Britta after a favorite character on our favorite TV show Community. We also love filtered water :)
A friend of mine knew that her owners couldn't take care of her anymore and I met her and couldn't say no. They had arranged all of her vet visits through the end of the year and paid for them. She had tons of toys, treats, food, medicine, etc. Plus a kennel and puppy pad. We were all set. So we kept her and now we love her very much even though she likes to pee on our bedspread, chew our shoes, and poop in our hallways. (It's getting better! I just hate having to discipline her !)
She weighs about 9 lbs now and that's as big as she will get. She is a maltese/ yorkie mix and I believe Saturday will be her 9 month birthday! Yay for that!
As for her and Olive, I think they will get along in the future, but right now I think Olive is still very protective of Ryan and I, and also loved being the only attention getter in the house. I think we are doing a pretty good job of showing them both that they are the best though :)
I'm going to bugger off and finish watching Hunger Games (for the 3rd time, 1st on blu-ray!) and leave you with a sample of the ridiculous amount of pictures I have taken of this dog in it's first 5 weeks with us! Enjoy! Can't wait for you to meet her!
Oh, and her middle name is Secretariat. Because of the obvious resemblance.
