Thanks everyone - to say I'm on cloud nine would be an understatement!

So far Sandy is doing so well with Tia, I'm simply amazed. I think her maternal instinct has kicked in or something. When she's not sleeping (which isn't much - I had forgotten how much little puppies sleep!) Tia has been following Sandy around and Sandy will look back, then stop. When Tia catches up with her, Sandy will give her this little nudge thing, which looks almost like a kiss and Tia will roll over onto her back.

My kids are in love and have been so wonderful with Tia so far, I'm so proud of them. My son (the sweetest boy alive) though really has a good heart. He's been really worried about Sandy and keeps reminding his sister that she needs to love Sandy just as much as Tia.

So here we are - one big happy family! My cheeks hurt - I've been smiling non-stop all day!
