Baby Girl Dutch (“The Duchess”) 4 Attachment(s) She has another fancy name but is "Dutch" to me and "Duchy" or "Duchess" to most others. Then there is my oh so sweet grand-niece, who calls her "Buttercup." Dutch is full of mischief. She is a jumper and a nibbler who, on and off, has shown interest in frozen green beans, blueberries and ice. Despite high hopes, she hasn't taken to carrots or Cheerios. (I have not given up.) Her favorite chews seem to be lambs ears and bully sticks, and one of the combs from her Bamboo brush set. (Why not?) She quickly lets us know if someone forgets to reward her pee-pad activity with an inch of Easy Cheese. Dutch is learning to play with small balls and a whole host of puppy toys. She does dance in her water dish throughout the day. I'm not going to worry about that until/unless she is still plunging away when the weather here has cooled considerably. She rides well in the new car seat. Have not yet found a good pet purse for her--everything seems wider then I would like. For now, we're using a sling. At night, she sleeps in just about every position imaginable. During the day she naps flopped over a Snuggle Puppy or up against an almost ancient stuffed Snoopy. I admit to being totally and completely intimidated by the ear tip trimming routine. So much so that I may end up taking the clippers with me to her vet check (2nd) next week. She takes a buggy ride early in the morning, before it heats up. I attach a leash to her harness. Dutch is quite social on these rides. Her tail moves like a windshield washer if she thinks something living is in her realm. She would like to be more social than the buggy will allow, so I have to hold the leash taut. We are all looking forward to her 16-week birthday when she'll be able to enjoy/explore/conquer the ground outside. In the mean time, she's getting a lot of cuddling (and so are we). She telling me it's time to go walk now. :) Attachment 412591 Attachment 412592 Attachment 412594 |

What an adorable little one! I so envy you. There is nothing sweeter in the world than cuddling a new puppy. Enjoy every minute of The Dutchess' puppy-hood...they grow up far too fast! |
Thank you, nanajoy. Aren't we all so lucky--yorkies really are "beautiful babies." My late senior sweetie had a tiny little-mate who jumped much--they nicknamed him "Jumpin' Jack Flash." This little girl so reminds me of that little guy. |
Congrats ! She’s a cutie . Love her name |

Dutch is a family nickname, so fond memories abound. |

I may have mentioned before that Gus was the name of my dad's much beloved 15-inch beagle. Gus was featured most prominently on one or more of our family Christmas cards. No couches for Dutch yet. I tried to let her rest next to me on the bench to my desk. That experiment failed--all she wanted to do was jump onto the desk. During the day she is mostly confined to an x-pen. She gets a work out fix ever couple of hours in the restroom--we toss balls and toys for her to chase. Dutch experienced her first rain drops on our walk this morning. She was totally enthralled. I was not. I put the stroller rain cover over my head and we toddled home. |
Dutch Redecorates 1 Attachment(s) Mom straightened up my x-pen. Took me less than 10 minutes to "redecorate." Tired me out--I nap now. Attachment 412596 |

I just love your shot of trio busy tracking. My little Katy used to chase lizards. To my knowledge, she only caught one. She was so surprised--dropped the poor thing and came running to me. Thank you for sharing. |

As I shared with you earlier, your tag line ("A house is not a home...") was repeated here many times over the last several months. Each time we'd tell ourselves that if it we were lucky enough to be blessed with another yorkie, it would happen. Indeed, we have been blessed--although I don't call it that when the little one sets out to nibble at my toes in the middle of the night. :eek: Thank you Joan, and thanks again for your support regarding Dutch's introduction. |
Dutch is a beautiful baby! Congratulations. |
