Lilly in the pool!!!

Long overdue.....

Since our girl first arrived in February, she has gained 40 POUNDS!!  Yes, she is now 54 lbs and a slice of heaven.  Here is what we have been up to...

Training....teaching Lilly 'mine'

Love it when she waits for permission!!! :)

Sometimes she is too excited but she is doing so well.

AND...she loves her treats!!

Getting comfortable!

What is Steve teaching her!!!  :)

Love the peace sign.  Now she's stylin'!  :)
A big thank you to Aunt Suzanne!

Wearing pink in support of breast cancer!

Lilly had her first big outing today in support of breast cancer, and she wore her pink!!!  More proof that the training does work!  She pulled a bit early on with all of the new and exciting people, sounds and smells.  Then, of course, a bit of jumping to say hello to her new friends, but she was AMAZING!  Even as excited as she was, we quickly realized that she was still listening to our commands.  After the initial excitement of meeting new friends, there was no pulling on her leash either.  We are so proud of our girl!!!  We must have had hundreds of comments on her beauty, personality and sweetness.  Go Lilly!!!!

Early morning arrival.  She's getting BIG! :)

Our little piece of perfection (or the 'Brick' as her vet calls her.
Loving it all the way, she was a trooper and walked a 5K today.  

A bit behind...

Life caught up with me, and I'm a bit behind on my updates.  Finding a new connector for my SC disc was not as easy as it should have been!  I guess Radio Shack should not have been my first stop!!!!!!!

A quiet moment... (for us too :) )

Surprised by the camera!

Lilly on the table!  Whoops!!!  She won't be able to do that for long!

A new place for sunbathing...

Whoops! Toilet paper mishap....what a puppy will do

Learning to fetch the paper with Steve.

I had appointments today and am missing all of the fun!!!

Lilly adjusting to her crate!! Woo Hoo!!!

Hanging out in Steve's office

Attacked by the Buzz and already a GA Tech fan!!!

More from Home Depot!

What's over there?

Lilly at Home Depot!

Lilly hasn't had all her shots yet!  So she was riding in the shopping
cart on her trip to Home Depot!  No Fear for this girl!!!

Is this comfortable?

Sleeping in her crate!!  

Lilly's first appointment with her vet, Dr. Hueber!

15.2 pounds already!!!

Waiting for the doc and so stressed out!!!

A WEIM-opotamus????

Is that Lilly or a WEIM-opotamus checking out the camera?

A new beginning...

Lilly has arrived, and we think that she is a GENIUS!!!  Saturday, February 5, we picked Lilly up from the airport, and it seemed as if she was comfortable with us right away.  She was sleeping on my lap on the way home and loved playing in the grass once we arrived.

She's fast!!!

After some fun in the sun, Lilly continued to play with more toys and explore the house.  She seemed to feel as if she was home right away!  Being the obsessive person I am, I could not forget to make sure Lilly was getting comfortable with her crate.  By bed time, she happily got in crate, but then....the howling began.  Yes, howling...not whining! :)  Some how, a few minutes filled with words of comfort calmed her down, and she fell asleep.  We were up about 5 or 6 times 'taking care of business'.

Thanks for the Puppy Bones Nancy! 

Super Bowl Sunday was full of excitement!!!

I started our day with a 4:50 AM wake up call and the fun began.

The genius moments begin...

By Sunday morning, Lilly was already responding to her name.  Next teaching

her 'Leave it' (she's a chewer/biter), down and sit.  She is catching on quickly.  She has also already discovered how to get water from the water cooler.  Definitely have to work on that before she grows tall enough to do something about it on her own.

Thanks for the toy Kim!!!

She loves her new bed!

What this face! :)  She has already discovered how to climb OVER her safety gate!



Steve and I want to that Janet Wright at Okefeild Acres (www.okefeildacres.com) for taking  such wonderful care of Lilly when she was brought in to this world!!!
