Princess has found her spot!

 
She loves laying by the fireplace.

Well, Princess seems to be settling in ok

although I have kept a bit quiet about her for the last week because we weren't sure if we were going to keep her. Sadly she is so nervous of different people she growls when she first meets them, which is awful when its kids. She is so great with our family and loves the boys! She licks them to pieces and lets them roll all over her, but if your not one of this family, she is really nervous at first. I know its to be expected but it's not something I want in a dog.
Nancy, her foster mum from the Humane Society has been great and is always calling to check and see if she can help. She bought Gerry over to our house, to watch and asses Princess. Gerry trains police dogs for Columbia County police dept. and he spent some time with her and watched her meeting new people. He told us in his opinion she will be fine, she is nervous not aggressive.
What else has happened? Alex had his first middle school dance, and another class with his acting and modelling. While he was busy we had another great afternoon at Fort Discovery, where we have booked Jordan his 9th Birthday Party.

Alex's Audition

Sunday saw Alex and Mr.Smith off to Atlanta for Alex's audition. As usual he looked really great! He did good, recited his Pepsi advert ok, but then found out he has to wait two or three months to find out if he has it or not, which is apparently quite normal. So he has to go home forget about this one and keep going on other auditions until he hears. Meanwhile he has a class next Saturday. He is loving it!!!

Week one of Princess!

Well, all I can say is that she is a minx!!
I joined the Omni gym this week, and got a personal trainer who I hope will kick my butt into shape! He is from Wales and lived about 3 miles away from Lannie and Nige! Small world again! Spinning classes are great fun too!
Jordan and Ethan both had their fire drill and then a lock-down drill at school. The teacher tactfully said it was an emergency drill. Doors lock. blinds come down, everyone lies on the floor. Then as Ethan's seven year old classmate told him, " its incase a bad guy breaks into school with a gun!"
I suppose at least they know what to do!!
And least their front doors lock! Alex's school is open to all, while you have to buzz the intercom to get into the elementary school!

 
 
Afternoon at Susan and Larry's

Princess's first day

 
 
 
Princess arrived this morning. We love her! She is a brilliant dog, only six months and so calm, no nipping or chewing...so far! We took her to see our frinds Sue and Larry and their dog Snapper.
Then we spent the afternoon at their pool, with Princess of course.

Checking out Princess at the dog adoption day at our local Petco store!
