Puppy

Our sweet silly Perriwinkle MistleToe turns 3 months on Wednesday..And she is weighing in at a hefty 2 pounds and something..Actually she goes to the vet again Tuesday and they will give us her updated weight. Her legs have gotten really long, and I can tell she has gained weight, just not sure how much yet.
She's at that stage where she bites and bites and gnaws on everything. Her tiny little teeth are like razors..

She is almost puppy pad trained. She has poop accidents, but not tinkle accidents. She is so tiny, that we can't take her outside for very long. She shivers too much. She has a coat and a pair of PJ's, but it just isn't enough..

She has really brought Anni joy. She loved our other pound dog so much but he just wasn't safe. He was going to eventually bite one of the girlz and hurt them. It was so unfortunate. Because he was a great lil' dog. That is the risk of getting a pound pup. The best part of the video is that my mom is asleep on the sofa while we are playing with our little girl!!

Perriwinkle is suppossed to be about 10-12 pounds but isn't quite charting to be that big..We prefer her to be around 10 pounds so she is more sturdy. Right now she is charting about 6 pounds. At the vet, we hope to get a more accurate weight. Speaking of the vet, she had her first round of shots before we got her. Last month she had several more shots. Next week, she will get her final round of shots including her rabies shots. It has been a long time since I had a puppy, but I honestly thought there were lots more shots..I am having her microchipped at our appointment. And we are planning her "no babies operation" too. She doesn't weigh enough yet, but we want to get that done soon.

Perri seems to be taking after her dad in her coat,'s texture, and her mom's color..
This is Bo, Perriwinkle's Dad..He is a supercoated mini schnauzer.

This is her mom, she is a bichon frise, groomed in a short cut.

They are all beautiful but I especially love her father and his coat.

Great that she is training well. I remember the chewing stage. My dog is 4 and a real chewer but just with her toys or dog beds now. I can't tell you how many toys she has destroyed within 15 minutes and back to the store it goes as the tag said for aggressive chewers. My dog is only 16 pounds too.
