Daisy is the newest addition to the Gates family/barn :0) She is a 5 month old Red Doberman Pinscher. About a month ago, we drove all the way down to San Jose to pick her up. Daisy has been a challenge for me because ive never raised a puppy before and i realize now that having a puppy is a LOT like having a child! We have to constantly 'puppy proof' our casa and are currently in the process of teaching her that the living room is NOT the proper place to pee and poo :0) It's a good thing that shes cute..thats all i have to say :0) Recently, Daisy and i were in the local newspaper together. We were playing at the park and a photographer snapped a pic of us :0)
Dobermans are very inteligent. They are quick learners and good-natured. She is growing SO fast! Shes already gained about 10 pounds in the short time that weve had her! Shes really good in the car because we take her everywhere. She does like to chew so the new couches are off limits for the Daisy dog! Our cat Lu-Lu wasnt too happy about the new addition to the family but shes slowly warming up to the dog. Weve trained Daisy to stay away from the kitty as much as possible to avoid conflict :0) Matt and i cant wait to take her fishing with us this summer! She'll be a good mountain dog..or 'mountain lion meat' as my dad would call it :0) lol Anywho thats the latest and greatest.. heres a couple more pics of the little beast :0) enjoy.
Daisy in the daisies.
Daisy and Daddy :0)
Daisy's really cute. Your kids will be cuter. We miss you two and love you! Love, Mom G.
ReplyDeleteWay cute!!!! Ii cant wait till we are done with kids and we can get a dog. I wouldnt dare do both at the same time. I love the one of Daisy in the Daisies! Too precious! You guys need to come for a visit.
ReplyDeleteSo you have 3 animals now. That's serious business...impressive. I really want a dog. I read your blog and told Andy I wanted a dog and he said the next thing I could have after Jackson was a little girl. Ha. He doesn't like animals as much as me, but as soon as we have a real house, I'm getting a real dog.;) A doberman is a serious dog. No burglars in your house. Cute newspaper clip by the way.
ReplyDeletehow fun to be in the paper! such a darling photo. You know, you can contact them and they can print you out a real copy. My mom used to do that with our sports pics in the paper.
