OKAY...you may be wondering..."what will the Rosa's be up to next"??? You will probably never guess!!!! We have a new puppy! As most of you already would know...in July, 2011, we lost our little Phoebe after 12 years of her loyal and loving companionship! We both agreed that we did NOT want another dog right away, but there was a huge lonely spot within us and a we had been looking for just the right new companion for a couple of weeks now! Because of living in the apartment...it definitely had to be small and, even tho we love the cuddly teddy bear type, we did not want the hair shedding or constant grooming! Well, a couple of days ago, we found a CHORKIE (chihauhau and yorkie combination) puppy...12 weeks old and he is now part of our family! It certainly did not take long to fall in love with him. He weighs 1.9 lbs and should mature to about 4-5 lbs. He is marked more like the yorkie, but the hair should not get as long as a yorkie. He is VERY playful and loves to be held and cuddled! It has been MANY years since we undertook the puppy training task as Phoebe had been one year old and fully trained when we got her. We have not settled on his forever name yet...it is pretty much "puppy" right now, but he should have something "special"!!! It took no time for him to find and continually return to his water and food dish...he has a huge size appetite for such a tiny thing! He is doing well with potty training and goes readily when we take him outside; but, of course, has not completely learned that it is NOT OK to go inside...guess I can't expect TOO much in a couple of days!
