Well, BeBe is almost three months old now and, as of the 5th, she weighs 15.4 pounds.
It's insane how very quickly she is growing.
She has also entered the everything-must-go-in-my-mouth phase of her puppyhood. This includes vomit, poop, and a nivea lip balm that I have no idea where she found it.
But she continues to be a very sweet and social puppy. She absolutely has to greet everyone, no exceptions. It can make taking a walk a very slow process. It's nice, however, that people can't seem to resist her.
Even her vets are quite taken with her. On her last appointment, the vet couldn't get over her coat and said that there is just something about BeBes face. BeBe was awake for this appointment, but still took it quite well. The only reaction she really had was a very confused look over her shoulder when she got this booster.
BeBe is doing better with her biting. Luckily, she doesn't go overboard with strangers at all.
It is still hard for me to leave her alone. She is doing well with being separated for periods of time, though you would think I had been gone forever when I get back to her. My mind just stays on her the whole time. Wondering if she is ok and feeling like I just have to get back there. It is driving me nuts. Ha ha.

Welcome Home, BeBe!
As of Thursday, BeBe is at home and doing well. :)
As expected, there are ups and downs, though there are many more ups than downs. Mostly the downs involve the expected pee accidents, but they are only a once or twice a day happening and she is getting better at communicating her needs with us.
Mommy is doing better today than the first day, for sure. The first night was sleepless, though not on account of BeBe. BeBe sleeps almost all the way through the night and quite soundly. However, this didn't stop me from sleeping with my head half way off the bed and watching her, waiting for a sign that she needed me. The next day, our first full day together, was full of napping.
It is amazing to see how quickly she has adjusted to her new space and how easily she has trusted me. She woke up from a nap yesterday and when she saw that I was beside her, she pounced on me and began to lick me like crazy, so happy that she found me there.
So far, she is quite the popular addition to my apartment building. I doubt there are many who have not come over to introduce themselves to her. She also took her first shopping trip with us to PetSmart where, even though she was asleep in my arms the whole time, she caused quite the mob to form around us.
Our big challenge will be crate training. I've attempted to start, but to say it went badly would be an understatement. I've decided to give her another two weeks, since she sleeps so well and is well behaved at night so far, and then give it another go. Hopefully, when we see her vet for the first time on Friday she will have some ideas to make it go smoother.

Welcome!
I am about to start a journey into motherhood...
...of a baby with big brown eyes, a cold wet nose, "fluppy" ears, and a waggy tail.
One of nine, this little puppy is out there waiting for me to come and pick him/her out of the bunch to be my little one.
Breed: Boxer. Loyal, playful, energetic, sweet...
...and HUGE.
Some think I am crazy. Others can't imagine why I need another pet when my princess of a kitty, Miss Biscuit Meowington, is quite the companion herself.
Yet, here I am. Ready to dive head first into the madness and joy of raising a chubby little furball into a massive, drooly furball. Who knows how it will go.
