Things have been really crazy over here -- thanks to my new puppy, pictured above! Little no-name (we're working on it!) came home on November 6th. He was adopted from Sixth Angel Shepherd Rescue, although he's clearly mixed with Siberian Husky. So far he's been a good little guy -- only two accidents, and both I should have seen coming. He's learning our daily routine, mostly by watching Dexter and Denali.

Denali has been surprisingly good with him. She can sometimes be a pushy jerk around new dogs, but she's been almost motherly with him. She does get a little too rough from time to time (like when she tries to carry him by his back fur), but she's still a puppy herself. I have to keep my eye on them both.

Dexter, on the other hand, has been uncharacteristically shy with the new puppy. He was very excited initially, but has since become almost afraid of the 8-pound monster. He's even grumbled at him, which has me worried. He was a little more patient with him this morning, so I'm hoping his wariness will fade.

I don't have too much more to say, as it's only been a few days with the new guy. I'll post again when I take some better pictures. I can't wait until he's big enough for the training harness!
