We have had Twinkie now for about a month, and I have to confess that my previous post about her being "mellow" is not accurate. I spoke to soon. Given the circumstances in which we found her I think she was literally starved and that's why she didn't have much energy and we interpreted that to mean she was mellow. We were dead wrong. She has been eating regularly and has regained her strength and vitality and is a very happy, hyper puppy. Cassie has a little mechanical puppy that wags it's tail, walks, and barks when you push the buttons. Seth got it out the other day to play with Twinkie. She flipped out and was barking and growling like crazy. She hunched down in attack mode like she was going to pounce on the toy puppy. 
So Javier grabbed the toy puppy and made it run at her while making a growling noise and she backed away lightening fast and tried to hide behind the couch. 
We couldn't stop laughing, especially Seth. I think it is safe to say she is all bark and no bite! What a chicken! As for not chewing things up, I spoke too soon about that too. She goes into any open closet and hauls off with a shoe and then goes behind the couch and goes to town on our defenseless shoes. Since I have caught onto her little scheme, I thwart her chewing frenzies by making sure all the closets are closed. So what does she do? She tries to chew the shoes that are still on our feet! She managed to chew-up something pretty expensive in the garage.
My wet-mop cord! Now I have to buy a new one. I guess we can't let her sleep in the garage anymore until she grows out of chewing. Anybody know how long that takes? One good thing is that her gas has significantly lessened. She must have gotten used to her food, thank goodness. I can stop burning so many candles. My Partylite supply was starting to get low! Even though she is a hyper chewing monster-everything I was afraid of- she has grown on me and now I couldn't get rid of her. Even if I wanted to, we micro-chipped her and she would just get returned to us ;)

what does that mean, micro-chipped her? She is fun! BTW, have you seen the Meyer's new puppy? Go to her blog here http://bradandstefanimeyerfamily.blogspot.com/
Puppies are the best!
You can put a chip just under her skin that vets, and pounds can scan and the pet owners information comes up so they can return lost pets if they don't have a tag.
