Lola Update

I promise that every post from now on will NOT be about Lola, but I thought I would add a little more info about her than I had in my last post. I was just itching to get some pictures of her posted on here as soon as I could!!
Lola's name is short for LOis LAne. Of course, this comes from Brad's love for superman! :) She is ten weeks old today, and she weighs almost 20 pounds. We have already had our first visit to the vet, and she did great and had a clean bill of health. Lola is from a litter of 13!!! There were six puppies left when we went to pick her out. She was the most timid puppy of them all, and the biggest one of the remaining puppies. She wouldn't even run out and see us like the rest of her siblings. And although she was pretty shy for the first day or two, she has definitely started to come out of her shell!!

She loves her toys, she loves naps, and she loves to give big sloppy kisses. Luckily, potty training has gone really well so far!! She is sleeping through the night with no accidents, and she goes and stands by the door when she needs to go potty. Sometimes she likes to stay outside and play for a little while before coming back in...she LOVES the cold weather, and she had a blast with the snow when it was on the ground. Brad even got her to fetch some of her toys when they were playing outside today. We are also trying to get her used to her collar, and we're working on "sitting" on command. She's doing great with both so far.

We are so in love with our new addition, and we are so proud of how well she is adjusting to her new home and learning new things!! We better love on her and hold her while we can, because it surely won't be long before she's too big to sit in our laps!!
