It's a Girl

Here's my "new baby" announcement. She's about 10 pounds, really short, brown eyes, blonde hair and the cutest puppy face you ever did see. I've named her Ophelia -- a properly tragic name (thanks Jeff and Lisa for making me put my foot down to my family and name her what I wanted to). We'll call her "Lia" for short. She's already very good at going to the door when she needs to go out (but she only "makes it" about half the time). She follows me everywhere. She's a yellow lab (cream, actually) and AKC registered -- papers and all. I met the mommy and daddy (a yellow lab and black lab respectively), her two sisters and her brother. She's 8 weeks old and shares a birthday with Auntie Janelle (February 28th).






Right now, she's sleeping on my feet while I blog. She slept for 6 solid hours IN HER CRATE last night and didn't whine at all (okay, for the first 10 minutes or so, but then she settled down). I've decided that green is her color -- it goes really well with the cream coat and brown eyes (plus, it's my favorite color so ...).

She was rather expensive, but I just couldn't say "no." Dad was really pissed at first, but when I came home from the library last night, she was sleeping on is lap so I guess he's okay with it now.

I will put up a pic as soon as I figure out how. Auntie Janelle is going to put her on her website.

Auntie Janelle is opening her self-dog wash/boutique at the beginning of June. Now she has even more customers.
