Today we adopted a red mini dachshund (defined as a "red" in dachshundese - but looks tan to us). We got to meet her mom and her dad and watch while she played with her sister. Though we had thought we might take home a black and tan colored puppy, we fell for Lily's personality and expression.
First activity as her new parents was to take her to the pet store for a collar, a bed, a travel crate, and toy. Of course, everybody had to come see the new puppy. She was much like Pogo: "adore me if you must" Yawn!
She adapted to the travel crate immediately and let us know that she has had a long day, "excuse me while I nap".
We stopped in Gig Harbor to introduce our friend Kay to her. Kay was playing horsie at the boarding stables. Miss Lily likes Kay but wasn't sure about the big-footed snurfing horses behind the fence.
Next stop home and Lily had a romp around the yard (it's hard to run with the dog and take pictures) before cozying into her new bed and letting her eyes drift shut.
Long day for a new baby.
