More Phoebe

Phoebe has been settling in very well - she seems to be more comfortable with us than she was to begin with. She can go up and down the stairs by herself, and she's a pro at staring down the German Shepherd next door. She's becoming a friendly, happy little girl.



On Sunday the 15th, we met up with a group of other Westie owners in the Twin Cities for a walk around a park. There were at least 30 little white dogs there, so there was lots of frenzied sniffing going on. Afterwards, we went to one of the participants' backyards and let the dogs run around and play.

We'd kind of expected Phoebe to hang out in back where no one was behind her, but she took off at the front of the pack.



In front on the right hand side is Sue Storms and her Westie Booker C. McDuff. Sue and Booker came to visit us and make sure we would make good Westie owners.



A whole bunch of Westies (and one Weimeraner).



Over the past week, Phoebe's been discovering her toys. She absolutely loves her Kong, which is a heavy-duty rubber toy that can be stuffed with a treat. It's great for when we're away at work, but it does tend to get stuck under the couch...



Tennis balls are not safe in our house - luckily we have a few to spare!



We're having fun!
