{welcome marlee}
"whoever said you can't buy happiness,
forgot little puppies"
Definitely time for a HAPPY update!
we have welcomed a new baby to our family :) Marlee is a Papillon just like our Mya! Maybe it felt too soon for me, adding another dog after losing our beautiful Mya. But the kids were so miserable, crying and missing her so. I also knew finding a female papillon would be a challenge, as there is less of them available due to small litter sizes and waiting lists. So she kinda fell into our laps when I found a breeder from Ohio with this little girl, just a few weeks away from leaving her litter.
Marlee comes from a long line of champions (although she was just sold as a pet) Like Mya, she hould only be about 5-6lbs full grown.
As you can see she fits perfectly into our family :) cuddled up
to Jack right away, just as though she knew he needed it the most.
Dogs are so smart.
This smile says it all.
Taken with my iPhone when we first got back
from picking her up from the airport.
*LOVE*
Another iPhone pic one night, of Logan and Marlee :)
She loves to sleep on slippers.
AND... Senna got her girl again--there was no way
we would be adding another boy to this family!
Her ears were down when she first arrived, but will
continue to go up and down while she does her teething!
my girls :)
Girls gotta have their UGGS!
truly the sweetest thing ever.
who doesn't love a sleeping puppy?
OK, is it that obvious that I miss babies to take pics of?!
She's so easy to photograph! I'm having a lot of fun :)
How about a little dance?
Getting rowdy with Jack.
Her show pose :)
Her beautiful new collar and tag.

Her "BEAR LOOK"
{Our Sweet Valentines}
she really did enjoy this photo prop way too much!
Marlee had her first "Puppy Manners" class this morning :)
It was a lot of fun seeing her get excited around the other puppies in her class, including another Papillon that was literally 3 times her size! This class was more to get her socialized since Mya was such a snob with other dogs (she thought she was human) If I want to change that this time, its important to get this little girl around other dogs at an earlier age.
I took these pics yesterday, Marlee will be 12 weeks old on Monday.
You can already see how much bigger she has gotten!
This includes her big beautiful butterfly ears :)
But her toys are still much bigger than she is!
Despite the arrival of our special baby, I found Jack crying in bed last night :( he still misses his sweet Mya terribly. I know having Marlee has helped keep his mind off losing Mya but the pain is still there. Nights are always the worst for him.
We all still need time to heal.
