Just one of the kids

This post has a few repeat pics since I accidentally deleted the post about our new dog Sandie. Since this blog is our scrapbook I needed to get these pics back in here. On Jan. 1st we got a new dog named Sandie and we are loving her! She is a sweet little Jack Russel terrier. Of course I made sure she was girl so that I had someone to buy pink for!
She has separation anxiety and HATES to be left alone. She rarely gets left home alone since I'm currently a stay-at-home mom but when she does get left, she claws and bites at the front door and this is what we have come home to a few times! Poor girl! So after some advice from my dad we did some re-arranging in the living room so that the couch was under the window and now she can look out and watch for us to come home. Yay! It worked... her nose is getting better.

Sandie is definitely one of the kids. She gets into mischief and always makes me laugh. One night at my parents house she ended up with white all over her. It took me a while to figure out what she had gotten into. Long story short...she climbed into my little brother's bathtub and rubbed along the side of it like a cat and ended up with soap scum on her sweater and face! Time to scrub the bathtub Jared! lol She has an obsession with bathtubs. It's the funniest thing.


Often she has her tongue out a little. Cute huh? She doesn't drool at all when she does this in fact her tongue gets completely dry. We just LOVE it.




Sandie is definitely fitting in perfectly with our family. This is my dad she is snuggling with in the above pic. He shares his food with her which is code for I love Ya! Sandie really loves my mom too. Every time we go to my parents, if my mom is sitting on the couch, Sandie rolls around in her lap for a minute. It drives my mom nuts! It's really sweet though.
I want Sandie's previous owners to know that she is doing great. She moped a lot the first week but I really believe that she is happy with us now. My boys LOVE her and she is played with a lot every single day. She sleeps with my youngest son and when I say "Go to bed" to my boys she gets up and goes too! She is so smart! We love her and she is truly a part of our family.

She's such a cute little dog! Really funny about he bathtub obsession. Usually dogs hate the bathtub.
