Kiko McBubbles Morgan
Kiko (pronounced Kee- Ko) is short for Akiko (Japanese for "Autumn's Child") and McBubbles is to pacify the contingency that wanted to name her Bubbles. She's one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. She came late on Friday night and seems to have settled in nicely. Thankfully, she's doing great with housetraining. We had thought we might want to litterbox train her (because we thought she might be too small for the harsh winters outside) but we decided to have her go outside once the vet told us she won't be as small as we had suspected. Since we started to have her go outside, she has not had an accident inside (thank goodness!).
We've learned a lot about her over the weekend, for one, she loves to play outside. We've also learned she has fleas and tapeworms! We wound up taking her first thing Saturday morning to the vet. As a result, the kids have not handled her yet (there's a moratorium until Tuesday), but they can play with her via toys (and a healthy dose of hand washing).
Even with all the excitement, she's very mellow and sweet. She's fun, playful, whimpers when the kids leave the room, and she already has her special bed in her special spot. She's settled in very well. Now we just need to get her to sleep through the night.... it's funny, I thought we were past that in life....
Here are some photos of "Kiks" over the last couple of days. The first two photos were taken before the discovery of the tapeworms and fleas, as a result, our carpet is still in the living room and Bobby is holding her in these picutres....





As you can see from the photos, she's definitely settling in! More photos to follow...
