A New Baby

We currently have a new baby around the house. She's 11 weeks old, 1 1/2 lbs, brown hair, and half mini doberman pincher and half chihuahua. That's right, we have a puppy! Her name is Coco. We are not 100% sure if we are going to keep her yet though... Here's how we got her.
Saturday night was Victor's company Christmas party. At the party his carpet vendor he uses (Jim), was selling raffle tickets to raise money for the Strong's Kids Foundation. They were selling tickets for a 42" Plasma, a Wii and some puppies. Well when she exlplained all the raffle tickets she said a wee dog and I thought she meant a Wii dog. So I told Victor go for the plasma. Well I found out a little later it was an actual puppy! So I was just enthralled with the puppies (there were three) and tell Victor he has to get a ticket and he got me one. (we ended up getting a couple more from people leaving early) Well on the second puppy we were 3 numbers away! We didn't win a puppy. So I talk to jim after the raffle and asks what happened to the third one. He tells me someone from a Christmas party across the hall bought her for five hundred dollars. We danced a little, then said our goodbye's and left. Around the corner from my Mom's we get a call, it's Jim. Apparently the people never showed and they had one more puppy left. Jim told us to come and get her, so we turned around went back and picked up little Coco. I have to add that we carpooled with Victor's good friend Megan and her boyfriend Scott and they really wanted a puppy as well. Which is why she will go to them if we decide not to keep her.
She is the sweetest little thing! She loves to cuddle and follow me around the house like mother hen. I'm currently potty training, which is going a lot better than I expected. She's really good with peeing on the newspaper, but not as good with the pooping. The hardest part I've found with having a puppy right now is night time. She cries and cries until someone gets her out of her kennel (and believe me she is very loud for such a small puppy). Other than that it hasn't been as hard as I thought with a puppy around. Ian and her get along fine, she loves him, but he is not very interested in her. She jumps on him or licks him and he just pushes her away. Thought I would share our current new addition with you all. I'll keep you posted.
