Welcome, Cali !

Well, it seems like we have a new addition to our family.

Cali has been running away from her home to come over to ours and visit for about a month now. I guess we have not done a very good job of discouraging her. She loves to play with Lily and Matt loves to play with her, so her visits have been lots of fun for her. Yesterday we found out that her owner has to move and cannot take Cali with her. Matt begged me to ask if we could have her, and in a moment of weakness, I did.

She'll arrive sometime today with her pillow and all her wordly possessions. She's a Rottweiler/Boxer mix, about 9 months old. She's cute and lovable, but a little spitfire, full of energy. I'm sure it will take a few weeks to get her settled in and familiar with our rules. Plus, I'll have to crate train her to keep her out of trouble while she outgrows this high energy, chewing stage. Wish us luck!!

She's adorable!! Just when you thought you were out of the puppy stage, huh? Well, just don't leave any banana-chocolate chip muffins laying around, like someone I know did...

You're gonna have your hands full I think! But look at the love in Matt's eyes and in Cali's eyes! It's good that you're gonna take her in and be her adopted family since she's already adopted you! ;) Good luck on the training! Sounds like a few Dog Whisperer episodes might be in order. Hehe!
