New Blog-New Dog!

Jazzy came into the world 11/20/05, and into our lives 1/3/06. She is a little over 6 weeks old and weighs 5 pounds even. Her owner said this litter was the first and last time she will breed her dam, who is a family pet. So she wasn't from a puppy mill. Her tail was bobbed and dew claws removed, as well as first shots and worming, before we met her, so that saved us some money.

Endearing Qualities:
-Precious feminine face with dainty eyes and wrinkled up nose.
-Likes to back up as much as going forward when she walks.
-Flopped-over ears, which will perk up as she matures.
-Cute markings of black and white, typical Boston Terrier.
-Good balance of playfulness and rest.
-She loves to be wherever we are-can you say "shadow"?
-She gets rollie-pollie and topsy turvy-cute when she's clumsy!-Reminds me of a weeble!

First Night:
-Fell asleep on my chest, while I rested on the couch. Then I transferred her to her kennel.
-She slept 20 more minutes in the kennel, then woke up to go potty.
-Fell asleep on me again, back to kennel, and slept 40 minutes. Going up-sleeping longer!
-Woke up, went potty, exercised, then fell asleep on me, and back to kennel. This time she slept a whole hour! This cycle was repeated again.
-Last time in the kennel she was there about 40 minutes, then she was wide awake-around 6 a.m.
-That was Russ's time to wake, so they played while I slept in the bed for an hour.

This was much better than Mijo's first night (our previous Boston Terrier)-so I'm rejoicing in what sleep I got. The best news is that she is getting used to her kennel and likes it-will sleep longer as her bladder gets trained.

Oh to sleep when she sleeps and plays when she plays, but the laundry is calling me!
