A new aunt

Tuesday we headed out for some QT with Mamaw and Dadaw, and to meet the latest addition to the O'Neal side of the family. Her name is Sissy. She's not yet 2 months old.



She's a West Highland White Terrier, just like her older brother Duffy. She is very sweet, but also very into exercising her baby teeth. She spends most of her time chewing socks, especially when people are still inside them. We delight in telling Mamaw and Dadaw how bat-poo crazy they are to have purposefully bought another dog. But it's obvious that they are crazy, crazy in love with their dogs. What can you do?

Sissy also seems to have done Duffy a major favor in teaching him to mellow out. Not once did he try to jump up on my boys, something that used to be his favorite thing to do. Mamaw liked telling me the story of the first night Sissy came home, how she was playing and nibbling at Duffy. When he got annoyed with her, she sunk her teeth into his boy part with her baby teeth and hung on tight while he ran around the room trying to shake her off. Just like a woman.
