A new addition

Within the last week we acquired an italian greyhound puppy, Meli. She's 4 months old and is quite the handful! She's energetic and loves to play -- she runs up and down the stairs and has figured out how to jump up on the couch. At the same time, she loves to be around us and will fall asleep anywhere comfortable. We're still working on getting used to her and vice versa. Meli is slowly getting better about staying by herself during the day and being crated when we can't watch her when we're home (although she still cries). She won't get to be very big -- somewhere around 15 inches tall and 10-12 pounds. We thought that it'd be better to have a smaller size dog since we don't have a yard. So far she's been entertaining and frustrating as we slowly work on settling into life with a pet.

Here are some pictures from our first week of adventures in puppyhood!

not a good picture, but you get the idea
