Oh, my goodness. How did I miss this great news? Congratulations on your new little girl. I hope your journey with Kelly will be as wonderful as your time with sweet Amy. I'm sure Amy is contentedly watching over the new addition to your family.

^^^^ So sweet of you to acknowledge senior Amy (like so many here)...she taught us so much, and we will always miss her humanized spirit dearly - and Yes, training the new puppy, Amy does live on some - Thank You, for these very kind, thoughts.
Amy can now smile down on her loving family, from above...as Kelly is home !!

Kelly and Dad headed outside, for potty time &/or outside play.
- she got stressed on our 1st car ride around town, so next day I fed her some kibble, on the Escalade front seat...this helped

Kelly loves to run into the front flower beds and pick up a good maple leaf or a stick, she can find.





Some sound or movement, caught Kelly’s attention, across the road.



Noticeable perimeter boundaries realized early, with the help of my voice pitch and constant supervision.
- luckily we live down a short dead end street, making off-leash work easier

Your baby girl looks adorable.
I think she will be a perfectly trained Trunk Monkey.
Nubis and myself will have to get out there sometime for some dobe socializing and the beitch Kelly put him in his place. Lol

^^^^ Update - sorry, for the Kelly’s photo delay - now sharing some more of the early Styrofoam cup head period...he-he.
- I was missing one small critical step in squeezing the original 6-9MB computer picture files...stuff the young crowd, take for granted.
- Kelly likes to use her mouth/teeth outside, so I thought it was cute with a sequence of shots & luckily got some taken of her without running around the yard and blurring my amateur shots.

And we wish all our great DT friends, a safe and most wonderful holiday season...with family & friends & dobers !!

Kelly found a "maple leaf" ... lots of good finds, under this tree.

O'h a stick now found on the front lawn .... should be good for chewing on.



Helps to use a paw, once in a while ... Kelly learning how to hold her play treasures.

Kelly getting her little tongue, in the action.







Kelly's "most happy" face expression.

Kelly says Dad, “your not being funny – now let me inside ASAP”.

A trip is right, puppy attention 24/7 in the beginning...LOL

Thanks all, for the very nice Kelly sentiments.

I just got some more photos that are still on my Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GX1 camera memory stick...a few minutes ago.
Wife is baking her home made Skor bars (a favorite, with our son), and Kelly just got her first marrow bone, to keep her out of the kitchen.
- she is even staying on the blankie 99% of the time, and is fully entertaining herself on her new chew bone / puppy heaven, at its best
Kelly is learning a few more words tonight - KELLY's BONE BONE, LAY DOWN, BLANKIE (and she let us take the bone freely, the few times we tried).

When I get the photos downloaded, I will throw in a Skor bar photo on the cookie sheet, prior to heading into the oven...Yum-Yum.
- our son is staying over XMas eve with his little Trevor (YorkiePoo), and any left over bars, he takes home the next day...they are to die for

Slightly off-topic but still important...are they the bars made with sweetened condensed milk and Ritz crackers???

Beaumont67

^^^^ Slightly off-topic, can be a good thing, especially in getting a new recipe.
- No the above two ingredients are not included...the condensed milk (while real tasty) would not give the bar that good old hard crunch feeling.
Hope you and others enjoy, this holiday & home-made snack/party food....their one is a big hit in our house, Dad is sampling a chunk right now...

Saltine Cracker Toffee - Skor Bars:
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (no margarine)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar (makes the toffee, with the melted butter)
3 cups semi-sweet milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
40 saltine crackers (the bottom of the bar)

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 12x17-inch cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
Lay a flat layer of crackers out on the foil.
Melt the sugar and butter until a boil is reached.
Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until mixture is thickened and sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour this mixture over the crackers and spread to coat evenly.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the toffee becomes bubbly.
After removing the pan from the oven, let it sit for 3-5 minutes.
Sprinkle on the chocolate chips, let them soften and melt, and then spread them into an even layer.
Or you can melt them in the microwave and spread on the toffee.
You can add nuts, cracker crumbs, or whatever else floats your boat at this point.
Let cool and, if desired for expediting purposes, refrigerate until hardened.

Oh, I make this too! I don't use nuts, only because I want nothing at all to cut the sweetness. Absolutely delicious, and so easy to make! I hope you guys enjoy.

Even though I already have the recipe, I'll still say thanks for posting! This stuff is awesome. The bars I was talking about I never made before, I just came across the recipe tonight...thought it looked interesting but wasn't jumping out of my seat. These are MUCH better!

Nubis'sDad

I am glad that acid trip is over cuz at times when Nubis was a pup, I thought I was getting flashbacks. Lol

Congratulations on your new addition! I am late to the party, but was so happy to see this thread tonight and I also could read the heartbreak in your Amy post.

This puppy girl has no idea how lucky she is to have landed in your home.

Elzajpn

I really really love Kelly! She's so adorable. I like her strong colour contrast: black and tan.

Yea, I'm at my daughter's. I can see the pictures. Kelly is SUCH a doll! I would just love to pick her up and cuddle her. Love the pictures.

zorianak

Those pictures are ADORABLE. Kind of makes me wish I'd been able to bring J home a month earlier (But then I think about the sleep I would've lost... nevermind!)
