It’s hard to remember that we’ve only had Claudia for a couple of months – she’s become a treasured member of our family so quickly. Turning into quite the photo hound too!
We love you, Claudia!

“What are you doing, Maya?”
” I’m doing whatever Claudia does.
It’s like Simon Says except it’s Claudia.
She’s a dog.”

On Saturday, Maya and Claudia went to vist Santa.
Maya and Claudia got ready…
and Santa was waiting.
Up, Claudia! Up!
Jolly Old St. Nicholas, lean your ear this way…
Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say
A trip to the pet expo yesterday – still doing breed research – carefully, thoughtfully working toward picking the perfect dog for us. ( Really? I doubt I’d be nearly this careful, slow and thorough in my research and selection if I didn’t have to wait until we move to our new home to get my pup! )
We’re limited to choosing from toy breeds by the pet policy in our new building – 20lbs or less. I don’t want to be the new tenant called to the office, forced into a Monty Python dialogue with management -
” Ma’am, that dog looks larger than 20 lbs.”
“No he doesn’t.”
“Yes he does, look at him”
“No he doesn’t.”
(That parrot is dead…. 
)
We saw a comically concerned pug
a perky shitzu
dainty little papillions
and this super guy with the dreds. (the dreds alone probably go more than 20lbs….)
I went to the expo already pretty set on the idea that I want a Yorkie.
Russ helps this decision along by announcing that he “Will Not live with a chihuahua.”
There are other apartments available in the same building.
We could be neighbors.
But I love Grampy with all my heart. We both like Yorkies. Also a better breed choice for Maya – a little sturdier, a little less snappy.
The decision is made. Yorkie it is!
