Meet Tootsie!

Tootsie moved to Wisconsin on Sunday and got a new haircut as soon as she arrived.  What a beauty!  Very soft, non-shedding fur since she's primarily poodle.

She's quickly acclimated to living here.  Toots loves the cats (well, she mostly just ignores them; I'll call that love) and her toys.  She loves bones and stuffed animals.  Unfortunately, she REALLY loves stuffed animals.  When I got home from work, she had torn one of her toys to pieces.  For her future parents: be ready to make lots of trips to goodwill to pick up 50 cent stuffed animals.  Toots is a great eater; she eats a full meal twice a day and shows no food aggression what-so-ever.  She is a very messy drinker, though.  I have a mat to catch her drinks and she still manages to get drops of water throughout the kitchen. 

Tootsie does well on a leash and is very friendly.  I think she's very smart, because she's already figured out where I keep her rawhide and has learned the command "off" (she likes to jump up with her front paws, and while she's extremely gentle and light about it, I find it to be bad doggy manners, so I'm trying to teach her not to do it).  I think she has the potential to be a very well-trained pup!

Here are some pics from the past two days:
