Introducing Gracie...newest member of the family! She's a mini labradoodle (poodle/labradoor mix), three months old, nine lbs., but will be about twenty-five to thirty pounds as an adult. She's still at that "baby stage" of life (with the sharpest teeth imaginable), sleeping many (many!) hours each day. She's extremely mild-mannered, non shedding, beginning to understand the routines of the household, and has just recently learned that the many cats in the neighborhood who cross through the yard...need a good barking! Crate training has gone well, house training is still ongoing, and she sleeps through the night without a whimper. She knew nothing about playing with toys the first few days, but she's quickly become an expert, and prefers the tiny little rubber (kong) tire that rolls on the floor and fits her mouth so perfectly. We went to our first "puppy social" a couple weeks ago where Gracie got to meet a variety of other puppies...great fun...we plan to do more of that. I had blogged about a doodle that I met while gleaning at the Metro Transfer Station about a year ago during my art residency. A few photos of Gracie:
