It is so fun to watch Ella get so excited to see Cadee ("Katie") every morning, and hear her say "hah bubby" (which means "hi puppy") and squeal with delight. And Cadee is earning her keep--I haven't had to sweep up crumbs off the kitchen floor since she arrived! :)
Cadee seems to like us, as well--she loves to run around in the backyard, especially if we are out there with her; she is making friends with the doggie over the fence behind us; and she got out today when Joe took the kids for a walk and didn't see her slide out the door with them, but she never ran away. She just ran back and forth across the front lawn/drive, occasionally scratching at the front door, until the neighbor knocked to tell me she was out there! I'm hoping that means she wants to keep us. :)
I love animals, especially puppies, but we grew up with only outside dogs, and so I'm still trying to get used to the idea of an animal in the house. (And it is definitely too hot to keep an outside dog in Texas!) Hopefully this third try will be the trick--I'll let you know how it goes!
For now, here are some cute pics--Scratch that, they still aren't uploaded. I'll add them when I get them :) Stay tuned!
