Introducing the newest member of our family-Riley!

We brought home our sweet baby girl yesterday--Riley. We are all in love with her and think she is the cutest puppy ever! ;) She is very sweet and loving, but also really fun and loves to play. She is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and she is 9 weeks old. Born January 29, 2009.

We had to take a hour long ferry ride to pick up Riley. It was a beautiful day-a great family adventure. Everyone was so excited. You can see the Space Needle in the background...

The breeder has both Riley's mom and dad so we got to meet them as well as her brother and sister...This is her mommy and siblings...It was so fun for everyone to have a puppy to hold!

We then drove to my mom's house on the way home where she met my mom, brother and nephews. Then we finally made it home around 9 last night! It was a big day. She slept well last night. Since I'm a night owl I had her 'go' at 12:30, she wimpered around 2 then back to sleep till 6:30. It seemed pretty good to me for a 9 week old. She was trained to go on newspaper in the house so she doesn't quite get what to do when we take her out. So I brought some newspaper outside and that seems to be working.

A cute Drew story: Before bed last night Drew started to cry. I asked him why and he said he was worried because Riley had pooped and peed in the house that we might not get to keep her. Nope, she's staying. He also was so worried that he might mess up and not teach her right. Bless his sweet heart. I reassured him that Riley feels his deep love for her and that is what will make her a sweet puppy.
