I havent posted on a while so I wanted to give you an update on how Otto is doing.

He is doing great!!! He celebrated his 2nd B-DAY last week, and shared a bday cake with his brother Thiago, see picture below!

Well, that is not the only news around the household. Check out Lola , his new stepsister!!!! Yes we decided to add a new family member! It has been lots of work but the most rewarding thing I have done in a while! Lola is 10 weeks old and although Otto was a little jealous for a couple of days , now they are inseparable! Lola is quite a character, lots of energy and loves to tease Otto all day long!

Lola is such a sweetheart and already learned how to use the potty pads!

Let me know what you think!

Congratulations on the new baby! Lola is a real cutie, and Otto will love having canine company as well as his human family. Our pack of three tussle and tumble, and occasionally get on one another's nerves; but when we return from a trip to the grocery market we find all three cuddled in the same pet bed! ;)

Congratulations, beautiful photos, Lola is just adorable, puppies are a lot of work but so much fun watching them learning and enjoying LIFE. Otto has a BFF oh what fun is in store for him and your family. I am sooooo happy for you.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know that Otto and Lola are doing great! Lola is now 5 months old and turns out she is of silver color lol! Turned to that color upon her first grooming. They have become best friends, I would say inseparable!!!

Lola is very active and has a different personality than Otto. Otto is calmed inside the house, teddy bear-like, while Lola is a crazy girl that just wanna play and annoy Otto! Poor Otto is being followed all day long and has to play tug of war constantly!

Lola's housebreaking is coming along, boy I didnt know it was such a challenge, I would say she is 75% there on potty training. All vaccines are done and is eating well. Otto as you recall, came already potty trained and is very obedient. I have no idea what technique they used to train him but he goes under chairs and beds to sleep so I suspect he was crate trained?

Coming back to my very original post, Otto has now been officially with us over a year , we celebrated and also celebrated Lolas vaccine completion with a trip to the beach which was awesome! If you want I can post some pictures and even a video of them running around the beach.

I can honestly say this past year has been a life changer in a very positive way, and adding Lola to the mix has been a blessing as we love them both and they keep company on each other so we dont feel bad when we go out and can not take them, we know they are playing or sleeping together.

Here are some pics I took today!

Adorable......just adorable. Wish I had two.

What a cute pair! Although more yorkies certainly equal more work, there is nothing like watching them play, wrestle, snuggle and love each other with such devotion. Congratulations on having found the perfect playmate for Otto! I 'm glad that everything is working well for your pack. :)

Lola is just adorable, 5 month old babies just wanna play and play all day and being a wild child lol. Happy to hear lil Otto has bonded with her and now has a BFF. So much fun watching them playing and enjoying life. Thanks for sharing the photo's they are just to cute.

I can only imagine what a circus it can be around your house with the two of them! But what fun to watch them play and bond.

Thank you for posting the update and the pictures. Adorable.

This is the BEST thread. With each new post, I so enjoy going back and reading the first series of comments. Good for the heart. --KatysMom

They look so happy! And we would love to see the pics and video of the beach!

Thanks!

There is a bittersweet side to this story. Although my wife and I work most of the day, Otto was never alone bacause my father in law was around the house and they kept each other company. 3 months ago we brought Lola in and he helped us keep an eye on them the first crucial weeks as Lola was tiny and Otto was a little bit jealous. Lola became very attached to my father in law, napping with him and getting into his shoes.

Sadly, my father in law passed away 2 months ago, it has been hard for us . However, we have managed to never leave Otto and Lola alone more than 3-4 hours at a time as we both work close by. They were very sad the fist few days after my father in law was gone, they definetely miss him. They still go into his bedroom looking for him from time to time.

Thats very kind of you to say!

Video coming up!
