Senna's first 2 weeks with us

Thanks to Senna's brother Rasmus (Thanks bro:) I found this site where I can post news and photos of our little flattie girl Senna. Senna's now been living with us for 2 weeks and it has been quite an exciting time indeed...our lives have changed a lot since the arrival of this little furry black bundle of joy:) But for the better:)

Eventhough waking up at 5am isn't all that fun all you need is to see that little tail wag to make you smile. Though I have to say she's been a very good and brave little girl from the get go. The first night we placed her basket in our bedroom next to our bed to make her feel more secure....or so we thought. Senna didn't though. She went straight to sleep under the table in the livingroom...and that was that. Not a squeek until the next morning! We were expecting crying and howling and spending the night trying to comfort her, but no need at all. And ever since she's been very good sleeping at night. She couldn't care less about the comfy basket we prepared for her. She tried it, tossed and turned in it and...no, no point. She prefers to sleep next to her beloved water bowl (in which she goes for a daily "swim", "splash splash"...and the kitchen floor is full of very slippery water and little wet paw marks:) Though she has recently started sleeping under our bed, which will become a bit of a problem very soon...I already caught her stuck sideways once, crying angrily trying to get herself unstuck. One of these days I'm sure she'll go to sleep under the bed at night only to wake up in the morning to find she's grown just that little bit more over night...unable to get out.

She seems to have grown a lot over the past 2 weeks since we picked her up. Her legs have grown a lot longer and her head is more narrow, more and more resembling that of an adult flattie. Before too long the little pup, which I used to easily be able to carry on one arm will enter the "leggy stage". She's already getting so heavy that I'm having a hard time carrying her downstairs to go pee. And she's started squirming in my grip, as if she could feel that she's really getting too heavy for me to carry. I can almost imagine her thinking: "Let me down, I can walk myself you know":) But we'll continue to carry her for a while I think, since she seems to think that the lift and the landing is "outside" and therefore an OK place to go pee:)
