Everything’s about Ooly, at least for these early days of her life in the house with us. Either Biff’s or my schedule is built around Ooly’s cycle of sleep, pee, play, pee, eat, wrestle with Finley, chew on toys, pee, play outside, sleep, pee, chase Finley/tease the big boys, eat, poop, explore outside… you get the idea.  In between we get done what we can – read a chapter of a book, create a blog post, change a load of laundry, etc. She loves her meals and gets a little crazy when she’s hungry, as determined to get to the food on the counter as she was to get to the nipple when she was nursing. Oh, puppies! They are adorable and exhausting!

We’re using a “check cord” on her some of the time we’re outside.  She now runs fast and far and we don’t want her heading into the ponds. Also, she likes chasing Chev and Xupe and they are still acclimating to her puppy energy. It’s interesting to watch Finley play interference when she persists in going after the boys, but we’ve also kept an eye on her antics as we affirm the boys for tolerating her annoying behavior.
