We welcomed a new member to the family yesterday afternoon.

The said member cowered in the back seat of the car, looking all miserable, until I lifted her up so that she could look out the window at cars passing by. She promptly forgot that she was supposed to be frightened and made me carry her for the entire ride home.

The first thing she did when we put her on the floor, was to pee.

*cough*

Not a great start.

That kinda set the tone for the entire day. Our baby westie, now known as Genie, pee-ed more than 5 times in different rooms in the next 6 hours.

We then introduced Genie to Melvin's parents. His mom, who was most vocal in objecting the idea of having a dog, looked on in amusement as we ran around cleaning after Genie and trying to prevent her from getting into all sorts of trouble. For most, Genie was happy following his mom around as she did housework. She wanted to look at EVERYTHING his mom was doing. When his mom turned the washing machine on, Genie stood beside her, wanting to be carried so that she can take a look inside. His mom, of course, obliged and carried Genie to let her take a look.

Genie's such an inquisitive lil thing.

I just wish she didnt piddle all over the place. The floor's never been cleaner.. I had to mop up after every accident.

Housebreaking is going to be tough.

On the bright side, after 15minutes of bribing, she's learnt how to sit :P

Her third Vaccination will be given to her on end of Oct. After which, we'll be introducing her to other relatives. I hope she'll be housebroken by then =/


p/s: Will load picture except she's running around so much, everything comes out blurred.
