My New Addition

Well the year of the dog started with, well, getting a puppy!!



I picked up my new addition on Tuesday, January 3rd! She was JUST over 5 weeks when I picked her up...she'll celebrate her 6 week birthday this Saturday.

She's an adorable spaniel/beagle mix, but to me she looks entirely spaniel, I don't yet see any beagle in her.

Her name is Asili (courtesy Kedist who told me it means sweets in swahili) and she's very clever, happy and energetic. My cats aren't too sure what to make of her just yet. Neko is slowly starting to play with her but the other two remain at a safe distance.

Her first night at home she didn't sleep a whole lot, so needless to say I was pretty tired the next day at work, but now she's started sleeping through most of the night and I don't have to get up with her until 5 or 6am....so that's pretty decent!

This weekend I'm going to get her a collar and leash and we are going to head down to the boardwalk for a wee walk...she's already been there once. Since most of our snow has melted and its been quite mild (well at least for January) may as well take advantage of it.

The holidays were nice, had some time to rest up after the Christmas rush at work, and am now ready to head into all the 2006 events. My contract was extended until May 31st, so needless to say I'm happy about that!

Happy New Year!!
