Nellie has a little brother

Well we caved in and got Nellie a little brother to play with. We took her to choose a puppy. The breeders had only a little boy and a little girl left. We were interested to see if she liked the boy and she did! We brought Howie home Friday, and with each day passing they have become better friends. Nellie was a little freaked at first. She peed on his new bed and on a blanket. We have been working hard to not make a big deal over him. Now that they have had time to chase each other and wrestle they are becoming fast friends. She likes to use him as a pillow. We tried taking them both out to walk yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised by the results. He would actually walk! With Nellie it took a long time trying. Howie is 3 months old and Nellie was only seven weeks when we got her (we didn't start trying until about 9 or 10 weeks), so that could make a difference. It probably also helped that he got to see her walking on the leash as an example. Oh the joys of having two dogs. It is great for her to have someone to play with at home.

Comment by Judi, Dawn, Soffie & Griffyn on October 19, 2009 at 12:06pm: Getting Soffie a little brother was one of the best things we ever did! We love having two, and if we could have more, we would! If you get a chance watch the "my guy" video on our page. It's from the day we brought Soffie up to the breeders to meet Griffyn. It was uncanny how Griffyn somehow understood, that out of 9 puppies HE was the chosen one. And he kept after Soffie until he won her over!
