A new baby...

Well, since we can't seem to control when/if Charlie will get a new sibling, we went ahead and got one for Otis.  Meet Louie...our new baby.  I have to say I forgot how much work a puppy could be, but Charlie absolutely adores him and Otis is slowly coming around.

At this point, we are letting Charlie "hold" Louie on his lap once a day in a somewhat useless effort to prevent him from picking Louie up by his back legs and/or head.  Thankfully, Louie is a trouper.

Like Otis, though, Louie hates the cold weather, so these 30 degree temperatures in the morning are not helping our potty training efforts...looks like we're going to try the litter box route like we did with Otis.  I just keep telling myself that eventually he will learn that if he goes to the bathroom outside his life will be much nicer...at which point life will be much nicer for all of us -- and I may even end up with a brand new living room rug out of the deal!

Merry Christmas!

Louie prefers Otis' bed to his own
