Fly Like A Yorkie

I've got big news this morning. It's time to introduce a new member of our family. He's tiny. He's cute. He's Yorkieriffic!

His name is Jordan, and he's a 10-week-old Yorkshire Terrier with an attitude. He spends his days chewing anything that moves (or doesn't move), sleeping and going potty. Basically the same stuff the rest of our family does. He fits right in! He arrived on New Years Day, and he's stolen our hearts with his big brown eyes.

Our older husky dog Kiki is absolutely thrilled. She's slid right back into "Mommy" mode and spends her days playing with her new little buddy. Our cat, Meiko, well not so much. She's decided to forgive us for bringing such a vile thing into our home, but it took the better part of a week to earn back her good graces.

I asked Michael to help Mommy name him, and the little guy didn't disappoint. After several suggestions of "Puppy," and "Doggy," (I explained to Michael that we didn't name him "Baby," and that his little doggy deserved his own name) he finally emerged with a gem. How cool is Jordan for a puppy name? Michael's favorite movie is Space Jam and his new hero happens to be Michael Jordan. Not because he's the greatest basketball player of all time, but because he's the guy who hangs out with Bugs Bunny in the movies.

So let me say welcome little Jordan! Welcome to our humble family. I'm sure you'll have us trained in no time.

Wag your tails kiddies!

P.S. I wrote this with Michael sitting on my lap repeating, "Are you going to put a picture of Jordan on your blog Daddy? Are you going to put a picture of Jordan on your blog?!" So here you go Michael - Little Jordan. And he does believe he can fly!
