I'd like to introduce everyone to the newest addition of my little family. Her name is Isabella! (But goes by Bella or Bells) It is so fun to have her! She has a super sweet personality, loves to cuddle, and is very smart! (hasn't had an accident in the house yet!) She is a new breed called a Carlin. They are bred to look like miniature rottweilers, however since the breed is so new, ya never really know what you're going to get. I think she'll look more along the lines of a miniature pinscher, and should get to be around 10-15 pounds. She's so tiny right now, and sleeps for most of the day (which is normal for an 8 week old). My manager is letting me bring her into work with me until she's able to spend more time alone. She sleeps in her kennel about 80% of the time, so I really am able to get a lot of work done, and I'm coming in a little earlier so I am truly working my eight hours a day. Right now she goes potty every 1-2 hours and doesn't have much control of her bladder (which means 5-7 potty trips at night!) Tim's still warming up to the idea of a little dog and honestly, I am too, I'm used to big dogs and honestly like them better. I chose little Bella because she'll stay small and will be able to move with me practically everywhere I go. Plus I'm going to get her into different training programs to avoid the "small dog syndrome". Right now I'm loving her to death, the constant potty trips are a tad annoying, but she's worth it! The way she looks at me when she wakes up in the morning is just priceless (and so is the puppy breath!) I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us!
