The Second Child

Ava, my second child....
I think it may be a universal question of mothers....how will I possibly be able to love #2 as much as #1? Perhaps #2 doesn't look like #1 did when they were born...perhaps they have a different temperment, and (eeeee gads....)maybe it took you a little longer to fall head over heels. I have found that these are all normal emotions....and once again, things may take various amounts of time to gel, if you will.



Well, how 'bout that, same principle can be applied to greys...my #2, "June" or "Joo-ey"...(figured that was better than "Jewy". LOL) Hmm, she wasn't this big goofy warm melted marshmallow like my #1...
And....I must admit..... I've even said that she was an "unplanned adoption" to several people....(I'll burn for that one)...

But now that we have had her for several months, she has gotten comfortable, and has blossomed into this wonderful dog. Very different from Canoe....she is a little more high strung, but not much...she doesn't look like him...etc. and I'm glad. She is so beautiful....her coat is shinier and shinier....the dandruff is getting better....and guess what....she is a love. Happy, affectionate and eager to offer sits for treats. She always comes when called...goes to her bed when told...


I admire her "country teeth"...they always crack me up...and now that foster girl is gone, the infamous and stunning roach ability has re-appeared.


I love my second dog!

I know exactly how you feel. GBD is my heart dog. She is connected to me in a way that no other will ever be able to. But Roxy is so special. she makes everyone around her smile. and now that we've had her for six months she's grown into this special angel that i can't imagine my life without.

GBD has beaver teeth too :)
