Our Fur Baby

Isn't she just the cutest thing?!

So I think it's easy to say that Lylah captured our hearts the day we adopted her, but after a week of actually living with her, she has not ceased to impress me. We kennel her while we are not home and at night, and she doesn't complain a bit! It's fantastic. All of us sleep peacefully through the night. She also has only had one accident, and that was the first night we brought her home. She holds her bladder well :) She's a total momma's girl, and I am not complaining.

Lylah hangs out with me and keeps me company while David is studying away. This week it was definitely wonderful to have someone to play with while David slaved over his big paper. I didn't even get to see him on Monday :( So Lylah and I have a strong bond now, and as David gets to spend more time with her, she grows more and more attached to him as well.

Since we didn't get to see each other much this week, we had a stay in date night. When I got home from work, we went to Chick-fil-a and grabbed some dinner, brought it home, and watched The Hunger Games on Netflix. It was so wonderful to just be able to sit and be together. This morning, we went to Einstein's Bagels and had a breakfast date. It was delicious! Then we headed off to Petsmart with Lylah to see if we needed anything for the Black Friday Sale. We're pretty stocked already, and since we don't know how big Lylah is going to get, we decided to wait on buying a bigger kennel until she outgrows this one. Next we headed off to the dog park to see how Lylah would do. It was so cold. The high today was 32, I believe, and there was still snow on the ground. Lots of people were at the dog park and Lylah did fantastic. We stayed in the small dog area until the other two people in there left. One of the dogs was a little rougher than Lylah liked and she tried to avoid him, but he loved her. He accidentally pushed her over and we heard our poor fur baby yelp for the first time. She wasn't too interested in playing with other dogs, but loved running next to us as we took turns running around the park. She's going to be a great off-leash running partner :) She also knew who her owners were. Anytime she got nervous or scared, she darted straight between one of our legs. Poor baby.

Then we adventured into the large dog area. Those dogs were a little too intimidating for Lylah. There was a St. Bernard that was really gentle with her and laid down and let Lylah sniff him all over and nibble on a little. We liked him. Then she got stepped on by a Great Dane and yelped again :( So we headed back into the small dog area and played with a new friend, or tried. She did great for her first time!

She also got her first bath with us. She did so good. It was hard for her to stand though because her back leg kept slipping, so David held her up while I shampooed away. After, we took a nap snuggled up on the floor and had a relaxing day inside. She's exhausted!

Going into Thanksgiving break, David has two big papers to write, but no class. Hopefully he can get them done while I'm at work. We're super excited to go down to Colorado Springs and spend Turkey Day with his grandparents and see Tech Wreck Texas!
