I'm attaching Fannie's first official Christmas card photo.  Doesn't she look cute with her little underbite? 
 
Today I took Fannie along with Tootsie and Bear to the groomers.  I was so worried about Fannie being nervous.  Well, she marched right in and looked around as if she were thinking "wow, a new experience.  how cool!"   Tootsie on the otherhand, was shaking from head to toe and literally climbed over gate. 
 
When I went to pick them up, Fannie didn't even notice I was there until she was handed over to me.  This is a grooming salon where the dogs roam free if they are friendly and the owner said that all three dogs curled up together.  Bear and Tootsie on the bottom, like Ying and Yang and Fannie lying on top of them.  And except for not liking to have her nails cut and spooking when the dryer was turned on, Fannie did really well.
 
I realized when I picked her up that she would have done exceptionally well with another family, had I been able to give her up.  But, unfortunately, she's stuck with me!
 
Thanks to both of you for all of your support as I agonized about whether or not I could handle a third dog.  Fannie especially likes my little Bear and keeps trying to step into his doggie bed with him (he's a Havanese, so it must be the Cuban male thing she's attracted too :-)!  She's a bit afraid of Tootsie, but then most dogs are until they realize she's all bark.
 
Happy Holidays!
