It was a strange greeting as they were all so quiet. No barking...
Stacy meets her match with the only little girl in the litter.
After we spent time with each pup, we were still drawn to the little female puppy.
We are told she is curious and mischievous.
Stacy pets the Mom of this litter.
In their native Tibet, these little dogs have always lived close to people,
Tibetan Terriers are called Little People.
They were raised in the monasteries and were never sold but were sometimes given to a visiting dignitary or to someone who had done the lamas a favor; this association with the monasteries gave them the name Holy Dog of Tibet. They also became known as the Good Luck Dog or Luck Bringer as they were also given to travellers embarking on dangerous journeys. The recipient’s safety was thus ensured as no one would harm anyone fortunate enough to have been given a Tibetan Terrier. The present Dalai Lama took his Tibetan Terrier, "Senge," with him when he was forced to leave Tibet. There is also evidence that these terriers were used to retrieve articles that tumbled down the steep rocky mountains into crevices.
Our new puppy got a bath and was sent home with us.

Aaliyah is posing with the new puppy
Mary Ann stopped in to meet the puppy and help us name her.
Aaliyah and ?? We still don't have a name picked out!
Aaliyah says 'Look, we're dancing!'
This puppy has been around small childen and took everything
Aaliyah dished out and came back wanting more. The puppy
followed her around wagging her tail and waiting for more attention.
Mary Ann and Lily take a nap after all the playing.
After a phone call to Lillian we decided on the name Lily for the new puppy.
Lillian said "Someone should be named after me" and laughed.
Lily and Lillian will meet today - more later.
Lily slept in her crate and cried/barked for an hour before she went to sleep.
She was then quiet for 6 hours! Not too bad for the first night!
By the way, the old man Dusty is handling the new addition just fine.
He's actually some what indifferent.
