This is from January 14th.
She weighed in at 16.5 pounds this morning. It seems like she is doubling in size by the week. The day before yesterday, she learned how to go down the stairs. Then last night she learned how to go up...sigh...she's everywhere. She is pretty well housebroken, but each time we brag about it a slight accident occurs. She is being accepted more by the cats, and Gretchen, the German Shepherd, has taken to her and even defended her from an aggressive Sergei, our Russian Blue, who is head cat. He smacked her the other day to enforce his status on Lilli, Gretchen jumped up and smacked him back with her paw. She doesn't like Lilli biting her face and pawing her head, but has become more active with the puppy. Lilli has a very sweet personality and is a loving puppy, although it won't be long before she's too big to snuggle in the lap. She's crate trained and goes in on her own when it's bed time. Despite all her toys, she still likes to do unauthorized things and has eaten who knows how many twigs and leaves before we can stop her, not to mention a couple of mums and palms branches and the like. She knows the "sit" command and is starting to come when called. She also knows some things not to do and is sneaky about doing them anyway. We love her and she's a part of our family.
