After months of waiting, anc endless countdowns...our puppy is finally home. She is a beautiful little girl who weighs in at just under 2 lbs. We go to the vet tomorrow for a thorough check up so I'll post details then. She has been going outside to potty (mostly tinkles) and she had one poopy accident in her crate, so I'd say she's doing just fine on potty. She slept through the night (we went to bed at 1:30 a.m. and she didn't get up until 7:00a.m.) and has been eating up a storm. She is just about as perfect as we could have hoped. She has bonded well with my three children and she loves to play with her toys. We have her in the ex-pen (from the ferret store) and we have her crate (door open, please) inside the pen. She loves her "cabana" and lounge area! She is napping right now, but loves to play in the grass with the leaves. We haven't allowed her to explore beyond a three foot area outside, as she has only received two of her three shots. We agreed on a name...Valletta which is the capital city of Malta. We thought we'd throw in some geography. Her name seems to suit her just fine. We couldn't agree so we drew names from a hat. Valletta was my husband's pick. I'll try to update the photo in my profile. And I will post more when we have time. Thanks to everyone for all the help in preparing for our puppy. I really appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions.
