Life With PePe!
This is Killi's (our) new puppy, PePe.
He was Killian's birthday present this year. He is a Havanese and will only grow to be about 12lbs.
PePe has been with us now for just over a month and things are going fairly well. House-breaking is not so bad and the fact that he is small and can be put in the pack-n-play to sleep or for a time-out is good. Gus adjusted wonderfully to him and seems to enjoy having a playmate, even if he is 130 lbs smaller:) PePe uses Gus as his step-stool and often as a bed:) And after a really tough first two-weeks, PePe has even come around to the very children he was intended for:)
I'm not going to lie, two-weeks into PePe, I was not sure this was going to work. He HATED the monsters and they had gotten sick of having a new puppy that they could NEVER touch without being attacked:) Now, he rarely snarls at them and they have gotten much better about letting him be a DOG and not a toy to be carried all the time.
But, as is usually the case, PePe has been added to my "chore list". I feed him, I clean-up after him, I get up in the morning with him and I bathe & dress him (He is tiny.He needs a sweater to go out:) With this care also means that PePe sleeps in his pack-n-play at the end of my bed. Well, tonight the girls thought it was about time that PePe move into their room, so I happily gave it a try. It lasted about 15, VERY LONG, VERY BARKY, mins!!!! But I say and wait. Waited for them to come BEG me to take PePe back. So, of course I did and they have decided that maybe it is best if PePe just stays in my room until he is 12 or so and he can just visit them in their room:)
It is nice to have my puppy back, quiet as I tuck into bed tonight:)
