... is GREAT!!

First of all, he is unbelievably beautiful. When he's skulking in the tall grass, sneaking up on Lola, he totally looks like a tiny, tiny bengal tiger. His fur is really reddish and then the darker stripes. I've had so many people comment on his coloring. And his face!! OMG his smooshy little nose and big brown eyes - and a really long tongue that comes out to lick you.

Next, he's got this loopy, lopey, chunky puppy run - it's too cute! His little leggies are so short that he totally can't join Lola and Gigi in their frenchie run-fest ... but he wants to! Which is just hysterical! He's like the two year old toddler who knows how to walk, but not well, who's always trying to follow the big kids and do what they are doing. You can see that he gets so frustrated that he can't do what they're doing. There's this big hole in the yard that G & L race over all the time and just jump. The first time he came to it he fell right in, poked his head up, and you could tell he was thinking, "where did this come from?!"

It's taken him a while to settle in to our house, which seems weird (since I've had G & L for so long), but also to be expected. Lola is in LOVE with him! It's like he's her own little playtoy - and yes, we've had some time-outs to help with the severity of her playing. He dotes on her and follows her around the house. Gigi, well, Gigi doesn't really care about him. Actually, I think that Gigi would really like to be a one dog household. Since it's not, she's getting used to him. She doesn't seem to dis/like him - she really just doesn't pay him much attention.

But the cutest of all is when they all pile up together to sleep. Last night they lined up all in a row with Tigger in the middle snuggling between them - aaaawww!

I've got photos, but seem to have misplaced my camera. Not to mention that it's a new camera so this will be it's virgin download ... and since I'm not real good with a computer, who knows how long it will take me to do it!

Get ready to hear about the zoo my house has become on a regular basis!

its great that they all get along. gigi will come around. she might just be a little jealous right now. mine play the tug of war too . they are so comical to watch. it probably seems strange having a baby again ! lol . but they are so darn cute ,you cant help but love them. your baby is so pretty. the breeder we got annie from keeps sending me picks of her new pups. she has one that looks like rocky but his face is almost totally flat. and he has these large round eyes. but i have my hands full with the two that i already have . i bet you are kept very busy ! :)

Awww...how much fun you all must be having!

Tigger sounds like a great little guy. That's so sweet that he and Lola have bonded so well. I'll bet Gigi is just jealous that he's hogging her sister now ;) I'm sure she'll come around.

We still have some jealousy issues around here, but they're getting better every day.

I can't wait to see those pics! Get to breaking in the new camera! :D
