Having Tootsie and Kane is like having two more kids to add to the chaos. Kane has adjusted really well to having her around. He is more active and his hair is getting thicker (they adjusted his thyroid meds).
Tootsie is still a baby pup even though she is HUGE compare to Kane. She is almost 5 months old and weighs 3.8 pounds, but that was last month so I'm sure she's gained more weight. Kane is 3.2 pounds.
Since Tootsie is just a pup, the kiddos have realized how great of a dog Kane is and fight to sleep with him.
Every evening we all go for a walk so Tootsie can burn off some energy. Kane sits in the stroller since he's old and never learned how to walk on a leash.
Now that the kids are in school, I am able to work with Tootsie on basic commands, fetch and most importantly; not to chew on anything or anyone. So far she's understanding as long as no one (kids especially) plays too rough with her. We've still got a long way to go, but we are slowing making progress....
