Meet Our Newest Family Member

So, today we went and picked up our new baby girl. She's 11 weeks old. We've named her Sunshine. She is a tiny little thing but a bundle of energy and personality. She explored outside and didn't want to come indoors as it got dark outside. You can get a gist of her size - this was her lying across my lap in my car.

The dogs have been introduced to her (through the bars of her pen). Brunel is the calmest and I think will eventually be her best buddy and protector. Lightning, who is nervous of new things (people/dogs, etc) didn't snarl, bark or bare teeth and got whimpery so I am thinking that he will be ok too. Rover is extremely excited, and pawed at the pen, which made her nervous. Because of his prey instinct, I'll be taking more time to make sure he and she are ok together.  

She seems comfy enough in the pen. I got her hay for her bedding, rather than straw, that way she can munch any time that she wants to. I had forgotten how nice the smell of fresh hay was. 

Tomorrow she will be even happier, as she will have a companion. We will be picking up a little boy so she won't be lonely.
