Puppy!

Sorry for being MIA the last few days, but I have an excuse: Luke and I adopted a puppy from Woods Humane Society! We had our hearts set on adopting a boy, so we could name it "Frank," but when we saw this sweet little girl we changed our minds and named her "Frankie."

 Frankie is a Jack Russell Chihuahua mix. She weighs a little under ten pounds, is a little over seven months old, loves to cuddle, and likes going on walks. She is a little skittish towards men, but it's only been a day and I think she will come around. When we adopted our cat Lebron from the shelter he was scared of everything and everyone, but now he is the most loving cat. Hopefully, this will happen with Frankie too.


On Sunday I spent the day sewing this dog bed for Frankie. Lebron immediately sat down on it to test it out, so I took a photo :) The fabric is a quilting cotton with an awesome retro circus look to it. The whole project looks easy, but it still took a while! Well, the piping and stuffing were the most time consuming part, but I will go into details in a later post.


Frankie LOVES her toys, especially her Gumby one, I had to get her that. You probably don't know, but Gumby was my first boyfriend.


So, dog owners: do you have any tips for me? I have never had an indoor dog before and I know house training can be a lot of work... Luckily, Frankie has been such a good dog so far (knock on wood), but I can use all the advice I can get!
