Balancing Things Out

We were a little uneven in our family....2 girls to 3 boys so we thought we needed to even things out. Welcome Patty Patch to our little Baker family! She is/was my sister's dog and they were ready for her to move onto another family that was home a little more and had little hands to love her all day long. Let me tell you......all six of the little hands in our family love her all day long! She is so sweet and tolerant.  She ADORES Bryan and follows him everywhere when he is home. She even tried to get in the car with him this morning when he left for work. She follows me around during the day and just sleeps where ever I am (until little hands come to give her some "love"). Drew is really good with her and doesn't bother her too much, but of course he was the one nipped on her first day since Carter and him trapped her. Carter is obsessed with her ears and Maylee loves her eyes...to poke at them of course. I love that she has developed a love of walks for my husband. We have gone on a walk everyday as a family since she came on Friday - LOVE it! So far so good. I am adjusting and so is she. It is nice that she is a bit older with a whopping six years behind her so I don't have to do the potty training and she sleeps in her crate at night. I did have to tell Bryan that she could not have my spot next to him on the couch even though she preferred it that way! Hope Patty likes it here and doesn't mind the heat because I don't think the little people in this house are ready for her to go anytime soon!
