For those of you that haven't heard, Paco got a new little sister. She's a Xoloitzcuintle and her name is Xochitl (So-Chee). Here's the story behind her arrival: http://anapoeland.blogspot.com/2009/01/introducing-xochimilco-gonzales.html

Paco is doing really well with her. He's much more tolerant than I expected, and sometimes more so than me (this morning I wanted to kill her... ah the joys of puppies... they're lucky they're so cute sometimes). She basically follows him everywhere and sleeps on him to keep warm. Here's the evidence:

She's really nifty and a fast learner. She already has "fetch" mastered... observe:

I decided it would be cool to get her a child's play pen so she'd have a safe place to run, frolic, and potty when other dogs are around. It lasted all of one day before she learned to scale the walls. I still stick her in there to eat, but the second she's done she is out of there! Glad I got it off Craigslist for uber-cheap (and now I've gotta go donate it, get it out of the house, and replace it with a crate).

Dakotah -- you want her? I can ship...

I will admire her from a far. :D
I have 2 dogs with my bff coming down for 3 days and she is bringing her dog. HELL NO I don't need another dog.
But yours sure are cute.

Yeah, between her and catching up to the work that piled up while I was on vacation I've been swamped and totally neglecting my social obligations... so sorry, it will never happen again ;)

Just picked her up from daycare and they showed me that Paco is not the only special one. Apparently she uses any dog as a bed, including the 400 lb Golden Retriever :rofl1:

Oh my gosh - she is adorable! Those ears are priceless. She matches Paco quite nicely as well!

Oh, and this Aaron may very well owe me a new keyboard. I'll see how this one dries out, because THIS
"I suddenly feel like one of those celebrities that goes to a foreign country and comes back with a little brown baby,"
made me spit water everywhere!
