This is Izzy, the newest addition to our family!

After months of searching and being heartbroken several times, we finally found our puppy. Our puppy!

She’s a gorgeous, three month old Pomchi (half Pomeranian and half Chihuahua) that we brought home a little over a week ago. She’s wonderfully soft, with the most fantastic ears I’ve ever seen, and she’s super snuggly: she’s already practically glued to me at all times and she hasn’t even known me two weeks. I absolutely adore her already and she seems to adore me. We’re probably going to have to work on her separation anxiety at some point but obviously we’re still bonding and still building our relationship. After all, she’s still such a baby and she went from being with her canine family and their owners to being with us so she’s never been alone. But that’s something she’ll learn and she has plenty of time to learn it. She’s still getting settled so we haven’t really left her alone much but as she gets used to her new environment and routine, we’ll leave her alone more and she’ll get used to it. And she’ll be fine. She’s ridiculously smart: she’s already coming when we call her name (which she’s only had for about four days), she’s very proficient with the puppy pad, and she’s taken to her crate really well. She’s still learning to sleep in her own bed and usually ends up in mine but she’s still so little and we’ve got plenty of time. She’ll get there. She’s so clever; she’s so clever that she’s going to be trouble – I’m not going to be able to hide anything from her. I think, because she’s so smart, it’s easy to forget how young she still is and how much time we have to work these things out.

She’s a gorgeous little thing. Everyone falls in love with her, even random strangers in the street. She can be a bit shy when first meeting someone but it’s never long before she’s bouncing around, ready to play. She just wants to be friends with everyone (most of all, I think, she wants to be friends with the cats who are still wholly unconvinced by her presence). It’s very cute. The only thing cuter is when she has to stop for a nap and she curls up against me, either pressed into my side or stretched out on my chest. It’s the most adorable thing. She’s a soft, warm little snuggler and I’m so grateful that we found her.
