Thanks for all of your good wishes!! Helen she still has no name. I hope that will be resolved tonight. I have been calling her sweetie pie and don't want that to sink in!

Karen we got her from a breeder about an hour away. We batted around lots of names last night but nobody could agree on any one of them. I have named all of my other poodles, and the kids have named the cats. I'm thinking of letting hubby select her name. That's a scary thing to consider! I'll let you know.

Boots.... Trevor here! This is worse than we thought. Here we are waitin' for our lady human to come home last night so as we could snuggle up on her lap again in the recliner. In she walks with this furry K-9 and she's talkin all baby talk jibberish to it. It was disgusting! I took one look at the pup and headed upstairs. I am far too dignified to give anyone or anything a royal welcome into this household, especially if it is taking away from my lap time. I've been hanging out under the bed and the lady human is worrying about my "elimination functions" (as she should be) so this morning she brought me my very own litterbox up to the bedroom along with some food and water. I could really grow to like this! For now, I'm still under the bed (just came out for a minute to type this ). I want to make her sweat for what she has done. She's lays on the floor and talks all kissy-huggy-smoochie talk and begs me to come out, but I'm ignoring her.

Boots.....Andy here.....I'm known as the scaredy cat around here but I'm handling this better than Trev. At least I came within 3' feet of the K9. That's more than he did. My fur all started to stick straight up in the air and the humans thought I looked funny and even laughed at me. That hurt my feelings and I went straight to the basement. I've been hanging out down there today but I am sitting at the bottom of the steps listening to every thing that's going on in MY house! Sometimes the pup is in a crate (it's sorta like a little jail cell) and I think maybe I'll explore the upstairs when I hear that latch click but then I think maybe not. Boy does she make some noise cryin' in there. It's starting to interfere with my naptime!! My lady human feels bad. I can tell cause I'm the sensitive one, but she has to look at it from my point of view. There's talk of maybe forcing us all to get acquainted tonight. I'll have to let you know what happens, Boots, but if they get too pushy I may just keep hidin' in this ole basement and there's lots of neat places that they don't even know about!
