Pickles 7 weeks old
We have now had Pickles for 1 full week and she is already a big part of our family. She is hilarious and a big hit at our house. Oreo might not tell you the same thing as she is just extremely curious/ afraid of this new addition but they are becoming more playful with each other.
Today I taught Pickles to sit- using the word command, a hand signal and a tiny piece of treat. She caught on REALLY quick and now does it with the hand command alone! How impressive is that. I also started working with her on the leash some, which is still a bit crazy. She doesn't care for her harness and the pulling feeling it has to produce but she is catching on to how to walk so that it doesn't pull or bother her.
Here are some photos that I took today of her snoozing on our sofa.

Pickles is Home!
We got to bring Pickles home today. She is tiny, and adorable and a sweetheart. We had a very busy day showing her to everyone and introducing her to Oreo. The two of them did very well, Oreo is curious yet frightened of this 2-3lb fur ball. Pickles is out to play and romp, coming from a family with 4 brothers she is full of energy to express.
We had a great first day home with her, very few accidents and many trips downstairs to potty. Now if only her first night goes as well!
Here are a few pictures that weren't blurry.
