Our New Addition



While she isn't a baby, she is a puppy and a very young one to make her almost like a human baby. And oh the work. But, I am in love with her already and it hasn't been a week yet. Her name is Zena (very similar to the Warrior Princess). She's a handful right now, but we are quite certain she will grow to be a muscle dog, thus Zena. She's an American Staffordshire Terrier. And when you look at her, how can you resist?!?!

Tim and I have been super busy with her... I wasn't sure she liked me... but take notice that she is sitting with me... and within minutes, she was sleeping in my arms. I do believe I have become a mommy. She even thinks she's a lap dog... what will I do when she's 50 lbs of solid muscle?

I know when Rachel reads this she will be shaking her head knowing she advised me against getting a dog right now, but I am very happy with Zena, love her to pieces. Tim and I are trying to stay positive that the housebreaking process goes smoothly. Feel free to offer suggestions on helping us with this.

Zena is my first puppy ever. I remember we had a poodle or something like that when I was a kid, I think I was 6 when we got rid of him. So, Zena is all new to me. Tim is the "expert" but I think Zena is teaching us a lot!

I will add pictures as she grows and keep you updated on the housebreaking. Right now we are at ground zero. I guess it can only be uphill now!
