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!)
