A Ruff Holiday

Welcome Rosy Olivia to the family! We picked up our sweet puppy on January 2nd, and she is wonderful. The kids are in love...and so is Jamie. He carries her around like a burping baby. Rosy is a seven-week-old Vizsla, a Hungarian pointer. She's very mild for her breed, and has a gentle temperament.

She loves her animal toys, and acts like she's some sort of killer, growling and shaking them into submission.

But all that play makes her exhausted. She's a good sleeper, and hasn't had a single accident yet. Even during the night, she woke us up to take her potty.

The only ROUGH thing about our trip to Pittsburgh was Laynie and her horrible cold. I took her to the ER on New Year's Eve (which was a total waste of time and money) and followed up with her pediatrician today. We are now proud owners of a nebulizer! She just had her first treatment and sounds much better.

She is so cute. How could Arik still be afraid of dogs after he meets her?

Your puppy is so cute! We've been talking about getting a Viszla. I think I really need one after seeing yours! I hope Laynie continues to feel better!

I am sure everyone is thrilled to welcome Rosy Olivia to the family. She is adorable. What a lucky little puppy she is to have been adopted into such a WONDERFUL FAMIILY. She will be a little work at first, but her returned love down the road will be worth any inconvenience. Sorry little Laynie has such a cold. Hope the "nebulizer" will do the trick to helping her have a quick recovery. I know Gav will love Rosy a lot as will the rest of you.
Keep the pictures coming. Love, Grandma Edie
