My new baby girl - Page 2

Whew, I forgot how much work a 12 week old puppy can be. Dang, I'm tired this week!

We named her Jazz by the way, to go with Sax(ophone).

My two beautiful babies:

How is Sax dealing with the new puppy?

My friend's two Corgis, Tango and Dancer, were NOT impressed when little Baxter showed up.

What a wonderful gift and surprise from a great BF. Sounds as though the new girl on the block has really settled in to her life with all of you. Congrats - Dogs Rule.

P.S. Oh, love the name, Jazz. Jazz and Sax, looks like they already 'dig' each other.

Well, unfortunately Sax had to have unexpected oral surgery on Friday, then he had an allergic reaction that night, and a few hours later we bring home a puppy! No doubt he was overwhelmed, and quite grouchy. He wasn't too happy at all, snapped at her a few times (after she nipped him on the butt/sides with those razors in her mouth). On Sunday he started feeling better, both from the surgery, and accepting Jazz. Since then, they have been great together. He now has a playmate almost 24/7, so he's loving it.

Thanks. My bf used to play the Sax, not professionally, just as a hobby through high school, and early college and he loves jazz music. So I came up with Sax, to make his name special to my bf. With her, he wanted to keep the theme going.

They are loving each other now. Sax doesn't like when we take her somewhere he can't see her...even upstairs or outside for a quick potty.

By the way I LOVE all animals, especially my 3 babies, so I will talk about my them all day if I can. I can't have children, so these are my surrogates, and I love them as if they were human children.

THREE babies? What's the third?

I love all animals, too. I missed my sweet Marshmallow still and it's been a year since she passed at the age of 19. I don't think my extra sensitive dog would get on well with a new kitty so we are waiting. Marshmallow is the one in my avatar.

An absolutely brilliant choice for your new girl's name! Now, it really makes me think of Charlie Parker. Good grief, in NY they still have a 2 day jazz festival in his honor every Aug. I have a feeling you know that already.

Your girl might be a jazz 'dancer' too. Otherwise, why would you need 2 strong looking hands just to contain her in the frame and probably in the same room as Sax? :l>)

I enjoy hearing Corgi names. I've had a few Pembrokes. Rowdy - Bravo - Reggie and Cozy (actually Cosi as in Mozart's' Cosi fan Tutte'.) Loosely translated, "They are all alike".

Good luck and remember they're only little once. Jean

I'm sorry about your kitty. Losing a companion is just so hard especially when you've had them in your life so long. What a cute face Marshmallow has. :(

Third is the cat, BK aka Baby Kitty, he's my tiny little black cat. He's about 8 yrs old. I rescued him as a kitten, and wow, has the poor little guy been through some rough times, but he is the absolute sweetest cat, that loves any person or animal. He'll go to anyone and love them.

Also, as I am typing this, Jazz stole Sax's tennis ball, and they have been circling the table like sharks. Not running, just slowly walking. I'm wondering how long they'll keep going. lol

Thanks, and yes she is sure quite a few handfuls! I'm so spoiled for my well behaved Sax, it's just hard to remember he was like this too. You had some good names too.
