Romeo

Our new baby 'Romeo' arrived as scheduled on Sunday. He's an adorable little guy too. I think Romeo is a good name for him too, he's such a little lover. He was born on Dec. 27, 2008 so he's just about 11 weeks old right now.

Yesterday was St. Patrick's day so the kids came over for a corned beef dinner and, of course, to meet Romeo. I wasn't there, but I guess Romeo got so excited at all the attention that he peed on Amanda! Except for that, he was really good though. He loves a lot of affection and attention.

We also weighed him yesterday. The little guy is all of three pounds. He'll be going to the vet today for the first time too. We need to get him up to date on all his shots so he can safely go out in public.



Rosie is not all that thrilled to have a little brother though. She tries her hardest to totally igore Romeo. If he goes up to her she just walks away. If she pays any attention at all it's to see where Romeo is so she can avoid going anywhere near him.





I do hope that changes over time and that eventually they'll enjoy playing together.


But, while Rosie lives the life of leisure, Romeo will be working for a living. His future will be as a therapy dog, spending his time visiting the elderly in nursing homes and hospitals.
