Newest Family Member - Nimi!!!


Okay well some of you know we have talked about this and others don't. But we now have a new family member. Through M's work we found some Miniature American Eskimo puppies. M and S talked about it for a month and decided we would surprise the kids with a new dog. Tonight they were ready to leave if interested. So after soccer practise we told the kids we had to visit a friend. We went inside and right away N was hooked. :-) Can't say we weren't either! Anyways, we decided on this puppy and on the way home we voted and named her Nimi. (M and S had come up with 3 top names and then asked the kids.) She is so far different then Molly dog was at this point. She was not nervous in the car...just curled up in my arms and watched and then tried to sleep a little too. (There was a lot of activity with teenagers at that house and other dogs.) We got home and she didn't like outside too much b/c it was cold, but was fine. Then we came inside and she didn't leave our sides much out in the living room. We did figure out that if N is sitting down she would come over and try to climb right up in his lap. She really likes him. But then again so does he! E held her and it was perfectly fine too. We then took her into the bedroom and introduced her bed (crate) and after a little bit we got the kids ready for bed and she started to fall asleep so put her in and she curled up and was out. So that is where she is right now. We have not heard her bark, growl, whimper or cry as of yet. Now asking me after tonight is over and we shall see. :-) We did warn the kids they might hear her cry tonight and not to worry. N had to ask me a few times to make sure I would take care of her. :-)

Awww! She's so cute! Looks like the kids are really enjoying having her around too! Hope all is going well and she's adjusting just fine. Oh, by the way, how's the hamster?
