Lady

Yesterday we got a new dog!  She is a black standard poodle puppy.  She is about 14 weeks old and very soft and silky.  Her name is Lady. 

We went to Lexington, SC to pick her up.  She is a darling little thing, and pretty shy.  She had three brothers and sisters left when we got her.  We had seen a picture of her chocolate colored sister, and were planning to get that one.  We were going to name her Cocoa.  However, when we got there, we fell in love with the black one, and ended up coming home with Lady.  We liked the beautiful color of the chocolate one, but Lady was more playful, and her fur was soft and silky.  The chocolate had fur that was more wiry and coarse.  I wish I had pictures of her playing with her brothers and sisters!  They were so cute!

Last night she was going to sleep in the girls bathroom, but was so lonely that she ended up on a towel on my bed.  She likes it very much!  I had to hang sheets around it to keep her away!  Today we plan to go to the store and get her a kennel and some more puppy food.  She is still adjusting to a new home, but she is very sweet!

Lady is learning to get along with our other dog, Henry.  He isn't quite sure about her yet and keeps a close eye on her! 

She hasn't really met our two chickens, Hazel and Tin-Hen, yet, but I am sure she will in time.  We will probably have to teach her not to chase them like we taught Henry!

That's all for now, but I will try to write again and tell you how she is doing!
