Forgot to Mention...

I guess I forgot to tell you her name! Her name is Jewel, but we have renamed her Ji'e 寂娥 (pronounced Gia). It is Chinese, of course, and means Lonely Pretty young woman.

Also, it was so cute the night we brought her home. Baili always sleeps with us, so Thursday night we put Ji'e in her cage and took Baili in our room. Baili kept freakin' out! She wouldn't just lay down and go to sleep, she kept whining and crying so we finally took her out and put her in her cage next to Ji'e's. We had no problems after that! They hadn't even met outside of their cages but she had to be next to her jiejie (older sister). It was so cute!

Our Newest Edition

Our little Baili now has a big sister! Erin may have beaten us to the punch but this has been in the works for about a month now, we just didn't tell anyone :) She is a rescue dog. Her former owner had her in a cage that was too small for her when she was growing and it stunted her growth. She just wasn't being taken proper care of so the breeder took her back. That left her with no home. The other issue was that she was ready to be bred. She had 10 gorious pups last time so they def wanted to breed her, so they did. And we decided to take her in. She and Baili are getting along pretty well so far. They have only had some issues with bones and water dishes, but we are getting that all straightened out. She is adjusting very very well. We just brought her home last night and she already curls up in our laps and loves to cuddle with us. She is small but pure muscle. Her lower point of gravity gives her more leverage to pull. Today we went for a walk at the park of roses and she walks great! Hopefully Baili can learn to stop pulling from her. We have a video up of the two of them playing this morning so check it out!
