I just adore Daisy!! Do you live in Fremont, CA by any chance??? LOL I'd love to be your dog sitter if you are ever in the area. Sounds like Daisy "picked, chose and loves" the right family!! (I'm a huge Grey's fan) Please keep the pictures coming. I want to see how Daisy grows and I love the stories! Enjoy your new little girl. Lorraine Ok, found it!! I just adore Daisy!!

Belle, come". she came right to me. Come is a word that is very useful in keeping them from danger when they get away from your control. anyway, my advice, for what it's worth. Daisy is adorable and makes me long for a puppy again. enjoy her! dogs are pack animals and want to be with their people. many people make the mistake of isolating the dog at sleep time, which the majority of the time does not work well at all.

My friend, Kathay, always tells how her Pomeranian, FOXY LADY, has ten coats to wear -- including a pink Barbie coat! She has three Poms -- two recently from rescue organizations. She loves all her animals so much and has already put thousands into surgeries and medicines for the two newest dogs. Your dog is so sweet looking! Enjoy! I'm sure she knows she is a member of the family! :-) You’re not crazy. My friend, Kathay, always tells how her Pomeranian, FOXY LADY, has ten coats to wear — including a pink Barbie coat!

You can talk about your Daisy anytime you want Lauren. Congrats on your success with the commands. My dachaund growing up was supposed to be my mom's dog but decided he was mine instead and was not happy when Ken and I started dating. Can we say severe jealousy? :) You are taking some really cute pics of Daisy too. Keep it up my friend. She’s too cute!!! You can talk about your Daisy anytime you want Lauren.

Dogs are just the best especially when they are so well behaved and listen. "Persevere" is the key to training a good dog. Enjoy!

Having a dog to love is so wonderful...and you do get the love in return! She is so sweet...love your stories. I love her little pink sweater...and her squirrel.
