Mimi


A note from Mimi's owner-

Mimi is proud to announce that her official NYC dog license came in the mail yesterday, so she is now a legitimate puppy and no longer living on the fringes of the law. Still too young to vote, though.

She is constant fun to have around, and we have had no serious problems at all, just a few minor housebreaking accidents and some whining when either or both of us leave the house, but even those seem to be in the past. She has chewed up a couple of household items when unsupervised (nothing valuable or dangerous) but for the most part leaves our things alone and concentrates on her toys. I think she has gotten a little bit taller and a few pounds heavier but still has her girlish figure.

The students I have coming to the house are always greeted enthusiastically (but not too enthusiastically), and then she tends to take a nap or chew on her toys at our feet during the lessons, which is just what I had been hoping for. We left her with a friend in Greenwich Village for a few days when we had to go out of town for a weekend in August, and no problems there, either, except that the friend didn't want to give her back.

I have attached a few more pictures of Mimi at home and in the park. One of them is an action shot with her best friend Gladys (the dachshund). Mimi is quite the social butterfly and has lots of friends in the neighborhood. She is especially cute with Sophie, a 4-month-old puggle puppy from a couple of blocks away, so we will have to make it a point to get pictures of them together for a future email, though there is little chance that they will ever stop playing long enough to take a photo.
