Looking at this picture John took of Gidget and me last night, I imagine this is what it feels like for mom’s with newborn babies. I never really wanted kids, but when I see a picture like this of myself with a doxie in my arms, I have no doubt this is my calling.
Gidget has adjusted to her new home with us as if this was the place she was heading for all this time. She marches her little butt around here as if she has been here for years. She seems to fit in so naturally. It is quite amazing to witness. She also passed the test with flying colors of being a wonderful little napper with me on the sofa. She does snore a bit loud now and then, but ah heck, music to my ears.
Thank you to everyone who welcomed her in your comments on my previous blog post– as well as in emails and on Facebook. You have simply blown me away by all the love and support!! Wow!
Some have asked how Kylie is liking Gidget. I’m so happy to say Kylie is the best– well, I always knew she was. But she sniffed Gidget the minute I got her home, then laid down and watched Gidget check out the kitchen. I swear if I could have read her mind this is what she said, “Well, it’s about time!”
Kylie, from day one, has always gone with the flow of things. She is a remarkable dog with a huge heart. She also knows that a female doxie is the Queen of the household and I do believe, like John and I, she is so happy the Queen has arrived. Hail to Queen Gidget!
