Dog Days

Sylvie and Margaux (our dog) have a rocky relationship, exclusively on S.'s terms.

Monday: M. enters room, S. screams, shakes, sweats. M. is quickly escorted out of eyesight.
Tuesday: M. can be in room, only if laying on dog bed. If M. yawns, wow (see Monday's reaction).
Wednesday: S. pushes toast on the floor and is ok if M. belly-crawls to retrieve. If M. looks at her with appreciation, yikes (see Monday's reaction).
Thursday: M. can roam about the house, only if her tail is between her legs and she looks appropriately brow-beaten. S. whacks her on the nose with a toy and snickers.
Friday: I take a shower and have S. playing in the hall with blocks (bathroom door open). I open the shower curtain to find M. and S. sitting side-by-side waiting for me. No screaming, no shaking, no sweating. Only lip pulling.
This picture is from later in the day. I predict best friends by January...

She is SO cute...that picture is priceless. Ava wasn't sure what to make of the dogs when we brought her home...now she and they are best buds.
P.S. I can't believe how much different she looks already! She is beautiful.

I love her pretty little dress! Your stories on here are great! I definitely will wait for Kolsen to meet her. At this point, I know she will be terrified of him. You've seen him...he is a busy little monster. Merry Christmas! ---Kari, Jake and Kids
