This is  our nine-week-old Coton de Tulear puppy, Madeline.  She’s such a sweet dog.  Her first night home,  I volunteered for night-duty, and wasn’t quite prepared for getting up every two hours with her.  It was like clock-work!  The following morning I learned from my breeder that Madeline had me wrapped around her umm…paw, as she was more than capable of sleeping through the night without a problem.  With that knowledge, I ignored her attempts to get my attention the following night (were there any attempts?  I was sleeping so well I really don’t know!).  She’s been perfect in the night ever since.  Here are her first pictures with us in her new home.

This image of Madeline and Ashley gives some perspective on how little she really is.
