Puppy love

Image Title

What is cuter than a small puppy? NOTHING! At least, that is what I think…

I got a puppy about three weeks ago and let me just say she is ADORABLE! Lilly is a 10-week-old Yorkshire Terrier — seriously, about the size of a beanie baby. She is definitely a baby, and we quickly formed a bond with our great love of naps and food.

It has been quite the adventure teaching Lilly that the middle of the night is not the opportune time to go potty and that buttons on your shirt, as much fun as they are to chew, are not treats. I can’t take her anywhere without everyone that we pass literally gawking over her cuteness and smallness. She certainly is quite the attention grabber!

Two of her favorites are toys that squeak and empty water bottles. Lilly is going to be my sole housemate in a few weeks when I move into my new townhouse.

Lilly was delivered from a breeder in Atlanta while I was still in Australia for World Champs. My friends took turns taking care of her until I got back and even taught her a few cool tricks. She came to meet me at the airport, and it was puppy love at first sight. She is the friendliest, most adventurous little dog I’ve ever met, and I have no shortage of doggie sitters begging to keep her for me when I am traveling.
