Rosie the Riveter

Look at who joined our family this weekend. Rosie, the sweet, gentle, 10-week old Chocolate Labrador puppy doggins.

The kind of doggy with soft soft ears and giant lion paws that look way too big for her body.

Since we had to put Isabel to sleep, the house has felt a little lonely with only one animal. We knew we needed a puppy so we could raise her with our adult cat.  On their first meeting, Rosie barked and Kia arched her back. Then they both sat down and regarded each other warily. But there was no chasing, no hissing, and no teeth or claws involved. I expected Kia the cat to hide under the bed for two weeks, but so far she's been too busy letting Rosie know that this is her house, her chair, her food dish, her bed, that she hasn't had time to worry about being scared.

I promise not to let this blog turn into one big puppy fest with 97 pictures per day of my dog chewing on various toys, but I wanted you to see our new baby sweetheart.

P.S. Our animals don't live in the studio, so don't worry if you're allergic to furry things.
