Xara has gone from 5.5 lbs on the 26th of August to 7 lbs 13 oz as of today. Andria asked me how much I was feeding her LOL

Vet said she looks good, but she is on antibiotics for her tummy rash, and of course panacur for worming her, even though Andria did worm her the vet said it wouldn't hurt to do it again now since it's been 4 weeks since the first time.

So far Sniper LOVES her. His tail wags a mile a minute when she's out, she can go right up to his crate and he doesn't care (which if you knew him is nothing short of a miracle), he actually brings his toys to her to try to get her to play with him. She's a bit scared of him still, but she is warming up quickly. Course I am very careful that he doesn't do anything to make her feel like he's a threat.

She loves the cocker spaniel, I guess he's more her size, but he has not a clue how to play with other dogs and just doesn't get her play bows and barking at him. He thinks she's a nuisance LOL

Sienna so far has been ok, she's curious about her, but not to the point of wanting Xara to get too close yet.  Maybe in time, but I'm not pushing the old gal to accept her, she never did Sniper and I don't expect her to act any differently with Xara.

Puppy calls, she wants out NOW LOL

MelB - I told you not to be surprised if Sniper fell head over heels in love with Xara. Now look... he is like a smitten love sick puppy himself. :) I am so happy to hear that he loves her. I am sure you are going to have GREAT fun with her. Please don't forget to keep us updated on the pictures too.

LOL yeah he is pretty smitten. He's totally surprised me with how gentle he's being with her for the most part. He brought her a toy last night and she grabbed the other end and I thought OMG! Xara is gonna go flying !!! (Sniper usually pulls very hard!), but nope, he just stood there and gave little gentle pulls and actually let her win the game.
He's got so the very first thing he does when he's let out of his crate is run to her's and start dancing and barking because he wants her to come out too!
She got to barking at him today and he got into play bow stance and play bowed back,,but then he pounced on her and scared her so she ran for cover in my lap LOL But at least she forgives him and runs right back over to him to either lick his face, or follow him around the house.
The cocker gets to whining in his crate when they are out (Sniper and the cocker do not get along) and Xara is highly concerned about that. She always runs right over to his crate and proceeds to try to lick him and paw at him through the bars. She whines back at him the whole time.
She actually went to the door today for the first time!!! She ran over and jumped up on the door and started whining and barking. I got her outside and she immediately went potty! I was soooo thrilled! I hope she keeps doing it, but won't get my hopes up just yet LOL
I just keep telling Sniper what a great big brother he is being and what a good boy he is, he's in his glory, he's never heard so many "Good Boy's" in one day LOL He is actually coming over now when I'm laying on the floor with her and he's very calmly laying down next to me and licking me. He's NEVER done that! He usually beats the crap out of me when I am on the floor, jumping on me and mouthing me, but it's like he understands that she's there and he has to be calm and gentle. I love it!! Maybe having her IS going to teach him to be a calmer, more mild mannered boy after all!
