Here goes. I have been lurking for sometime and trying to learn.

I am the new mommy of two sisters. They just turned 3mths, and are each just over 1lb. Baby is on the left and is furry with the teddy bear face and diva, "I can pee where I want because I'm cute" personality. Bug is on the right, sparse of hair, spindly of leg and "I pee where I should because I'm an obedient love-bug" personality.

Bear the 80lb rescue mutt is scared of them and stays on the couch where he can't harm them when they are out and about. Baxter the 10lb maltipoo freebie doesn't much care for them yet, so he too stays up on the couch with Bear. Those two are like Lennie and George in Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men".

But I digress...anyway, we're into socialization, housetraining, teething and all that stuff..I've never had puppies before, my others were grown upon arrival. I face some challenges since I work 12hr shifts and so will be on here frequently scanning for information. You seem to be a great group of very knowledgeable people. Thanks for a great site!
