Can you blame me? This is my new Papillon Lacey. Tomorrow is our 2nd week anniversary. She is 4 years old and adorable. She follows me wherever I go, but she is smartening up about going up and down stairs. She waits to see if it will be worth the trip or am I really going upstairs to come right down again. 
I have knitted 4 sweaters for her already. They take no time to knit and can be very silly, as whatever I put on her is just fine with her. I also received a beautiful sweater and toy from a co-worker for her, and another gave me gift bag filled with treats and toys. So much fun!Getting Lacey has helped me take at least 2 walks each day, something I never could find the time for before. I am also getting acquainted or reacquainted with our neighbors and have found some natural delights in smelling the evening air filled with wood smoke as it drifts out of a chimney or discover beautiful, tiny wild grapes in green, blue, and purple. They would be perfect cascading from a flower arrangement. I have begun to think of the neighborhood in a different way, like there is Ozzie's house (he is the dog at the end of the street), here comes Hunter (a German Short Haired Pointer), and will Ghost (a white Standard Boxer) be outside when we reach the cul-de-sac? All of this looking and walking and smelling gets us tired. Then one of us cuddles with a stuffed bird. Did I say she was adorable?

Lacey knows who’s in charge and she not only shadows you but is setting up a perimeter of protection. Her growls let you know that you are not just messing with her but you are treading a thin ice if you want to mess with her Mom! Really cute!
