Lexi

I thought I'd include a recent picture of Alexis (and Grandma) at the zoo- since Lexi was so scared of Penny the pup at first, she didn't get included in any of our other photos.

Our newest family member

Skye is almost 5 and Alexis is 2 1/2, so of course it was natural add another member to our family. Our newest "baby" is no different than Skye and Alexis were. We are getting up with her every 2 hours of the night, and I'm doing intensive potty training with her and Alexis all this week. We named our most precious chocolate lab puppy "Penny"... and yes, she cost us a pretty penny alright. Anyone else who has had a pet knows the up front expenses that go with getting set up for one. She was worth every penny though. She's got the sweetest disposition and was quick to fall in love with us, as we were her. She fits right in amongst Skye's other stuffed animals. She gets to be carried around the house all day long. Since it's been a while since both Cody and I have had a family dog, we could always use some suggestions on training, or just things you wish you had or hadn't done with your dog. She's going to be an indoor/outdoor dog. We'll probably build her a kennel outside eventually but maybe until then, we'll consider crate training her. We're excited to be dog people!
