With the recent passing of my childhood dog, Bear I decided it was time to get the boys a puppy.

I am pleased to introduce Roxie Bluebell Boyer. Roxie is a 9wk old dachshund/ Pomeranian mix that we found on Craig’s List.

While she is absolutely adorable, I forgot how much work puppies are. It’s almost like having a new baby. Since bringing her home Thursday Ive been frantically researching potty training and behavior techniques. While I know I won’t happen over night (she is a puppy after all) I am excited to say that I am starting to see signs of hope (and fewer potty accidents) already. (Stay tuned for a future post with tips for potty training – I am learning a lot)

Here are a couple of pictures of our new baby. The boys are madly in love with her.
