So sorry to hear about Lola, Burch. May happy memories bring comfort.

So devastating, Burch. I don't get on here much anymore, and was very sad to hear of your loss when I did.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Lola was such a sweetie. It's just so hard because she was in very good health (so I thought) and was fine one minute and gone the next. It was so sudden.

No dog can every replace her. Donna wanted to get another little girl and said she knew Lola could never be replaced but that the void she left could be replaced. I wanted to wait awhile before we got another dog, however, the wife won. Meet Zuzu!

We got her on Saturday afternoon. She is 3.9lbs and was born on August 4th. She is a blue merle Pomeranian. She is sweet and absolutely loves Pinto. However, Pinto is not fond of her yet. She wants to play with him and he wants nothing to do with her. Monty just kind of ignores her. I think both my other dogs are still mourning Lola.

I really wanted to get another recuse dog eventually but Donna says we recused ZuZu from the pet store. She is named after ZuZu from "It's A Wonderful Life". Her name was Zoey so at least it's not too far off from what she used to be called.

We are going on a local motorhome trip over Thanksgiving so it should be fun to see how she reacts.

Congrats to your family, Burch! Your new addition is so cute and I'm sure the dogs will come around. In addition to a new dog, they have to wrap their heads about the idea of a puppy! But they will.

Beautiful!! Congratulations.

She is very smart. She has pretty much figured out the house and is comfortable in her surroundings. She got to meet the kids from next door yesterday. She was so excited! Her little tail was a blur. I am looking forward to taking her in the motorhome tomorrow. She will get to meet lots of people and other doggies. She seems to love everyone.

She is still driving Pinto crazy but Monty is tolerating her. He makes it known that he is the boss (he just thinks he is) but is giving her some slack.

So sorry to read about Lola. Very happy to see the cute new puppy. She sure is a doll. I thought I got one that had some pom in it, they called her a Toy Aussie. Since I didn't think it was even a breed I had DNA ran. She is 1/2 mini aussie, 1/4 Chihuahua & 1/4 Yorkie. I really didn't care what she was, we love her and she's smart. I find around here my old dogs really like the puppies even if they don't want to act like it. Good luck traveling with the pups, keep us posted as she grows up. I love puppies.

ZuZu is really a sweet little puppy. She is so full of energy. I was having a hard time yesterday missing Lola but then I would watch ZuZu running around and playing and it would make me smile. ZuZu is very smart and is learning fast. She seems to really love people and other dogs so I am looking forward to our trip to see how she interacts with everyone.
