This wee one is why I haven‘t been getting much reading done the past few days. Prudence is 12 weeks old, ridiculously cute, and quite the handful

OriginalCyn620 Aww! So cute! 🐶❤️ 4y

Prairiegirl_reading Adorable!!! When we got our puppy I thought I won‘t get much reading done for a few days. Guess what? It‘s been a year and a half lol!!! So much work but so worth it!! ❤️❤️❤️ 4y

So excited to share...Mia joined our family today!!! ❤️🐶 After an almost 2 hour car ride, a walk around the yard and exploring the first floor of the house - she crashed and is ready for a nap. And I‘m starting a new book!

JoScho So cute! What kind is she? 5y

mreads 🐕❤ what a cutie. Best tip I can give is puppies almost always have to pee after naps so it good to take them out when they wake up speeds up potty training. 5y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Aw, cute little baby! I love that she‘s completely zonked out after so much excitement 5y

@ForeverNerdy reminded me that I haven't been on here in forever. Well, this is why. Meet, Toru (pronounced Toh-roo)! He's a 13 week old Corgi and Collie mix I adopted from a rescue. Him and my full grown dog are working on being friends. Toru and I are working on house rules. We're getting along great, but I'm exhausted all the time. He's very smart and keeps me on my toes! #dogsoflitsy

Tamra 😘🤗 Cutie! 6y

Silly me, I thought I would be able to read a little bit while the puppers settled down. Chester begs to differ. 😂

IndyHannaJones Did you adopt a werewolf pup? It's majestic 7y

I was asked to provide some book recommendations on dog training for a family member with their first dog. They've entered the "teenage years" and need some guidance. I've read a few, but nothing that sticks out. Do you have any recommendations? Also, this is my Elkhound, Kira. #dogsoflitsy ?

britt_brooke Hi Kira! 💚💚💚 7y

Eyelit My friend loves the four books I just tagged. She adopted a stray dog about 10+ years ago and it had a few behavioral problems - but now she's the sweetest most well behaved dog I've ever encountered. Your Kira is super cute by the by 💜 7y
8leagueboot Kira has the absolute sweetest face. 7y
Ellsbeth @8leagueboot She's by far the sweetest dog I've had. ❤️ 7y
Ellsbeth @Eyelit Thanks for all the great recommendations. I appreciate it! 7y
