Pathetic...

...is my blogging prowess these days.  I haven't even posted the big May birthday celebration pictures!  But I do have some quick doggie pics to add.  We have a "4th" child now - a rat terrier named Macy, whom the FFF has completely fallen for.  She is now 9-weeks old and is very cute and very lovable.  She is already mostly poo- and potty-trained (girls are always easier than boys haha) and that is a sweet deal for Alpha Phil and Actual-Alpha Amy.

Crying and howling through the night is typical of any 8-week old - human or canine - but she now, finally, sleeps through the night without whining.  I swear I felt that same hideous fatigue that you feel with a human newborn!  Now she usually is asleep by 10:00 and wakes up at 7:00 a.m. with some pronouced barking (Let me out NOW my bladder is only the size of grape!). 

I never pictured myself as a terrier owner, but rat terriers are not your stereotypical, territorial, and somewhat grouchy, terrier. She aims to please every single minute, by God, and we love it! I love her personality. Listen to me, prattling on like we have a new human baby! Now photos...

 Here is our sweet girl; and finally a baby sister for Sheridan!

 Oh my does she love to give kisses!

 And she loves to chew on hair a little too much...

 A rare gentle moment with Evan and Macy

 Sqeaky Carrot is the chew toy du jour.  She hauls it around with her everywhere.

 1st day home - maybe a little nervous?
