Rio:  What's this, another new puppy this year?

Maizy:  I thought I was the favorite new puppy?  Rio, she smells funny.

Rio:  Yea, but she smells better than you.  I think she's sweet.  Tastes sweet, too! Mom gets mad at me when I lick her, though.

Maizy:  No kidding!  I can't get within 6 inches of her without having Mom say 'No no no!'  I just want to check her out. 

Rio:  You've gotta learn to be calm.  I am, that's why Mom lets me sit on her lap with Mia when Mia's eating. 

Maizy:  Well, I like her.  I'm glad she's here, even though I don't get my walks like I used to.  Thank goodness Brendan came over on Sunday and took me for a walk! 

Rio:  I didn't think I'd want another sister, but I like her, too.  I especially like that she doesn't pull my tail or my ears-- like you do!  (Oh, just wait, Rio!)

Maizy:  I like that she's squeaky, like my toys.  Maybe I'll get to play with her soon.  For now, let's lay down and take a nap by her.

Rio:  Sounds good.  We've gotta make sure she's safe and sound so stay close by.

 

(Both dogs are usually found right by Mia.  I have tried to take pictures of them with her countless times, but Rio always runs away from the camera.  They both are very protective of her already!)
