Fanny is doing fabulous.
I took her in to weigh her on Thursday.
She's a whopping nine pounds.
Had her nails clipped, too.
She has been in school for two weeks.
She's an alpha girl, very headstrong,
but we're making good progress.
The hardest part so far is "down."
She doesn't want to do it,
but we're getting there.
Some dogs you can just tell if they're a boy or girl
Fanny is so pretty.
I think she looks very much like a female.

Fanny is getting big!
She's four months old now, weighs 9.2 pounds
and is doing really well in school.
Fanny loves food. I think she must be Italian.
We had an Italian relative named Fanny.
Her real name was Frances.
Our family loves the name so now it lives on.
How fun to see Addie's ears popping up - go Addie!
Here are my sweet chilluns . . .
Fanny sends kisses to her doGmother Shelly Siminski in Alabama,
and more kisses to her amazing foster mother Donna Venegas in Nebraska.
We love you guys!
SHELLY SIMINSKI:
Fanny & Kathy & Vito & Alfie have stolen my heart! It's happy stories like this that make me so proud and brings me to tears of joy. All my love to Fanny & the boys!
