"I've been sliding all over this wood floor," Kenzie says. "I'm just going to sit down."

Kenzie's first full day at home has been pretty eventful. She even received her very first visitors - Matt and Ginny! She can't wait to meet their white poodle, Gidget.














When Kenzie came into our bedroom last night, she noticed her reflection in the mirror and rammed right into it. (oops!) Now, she likes to play with the other puppy in the mirror. And she's pretty impressed that that puppy has all the same toys that she does.


Little Kenzie has been really good about going to the bathroom on the grass today. She goes almost every time we take her out, and even walked to the door once on her own. (Good girl!)


But don't be fooled by the lush, green grass (not typical of L.A.). We found out that puppies aren't supposed to go "out in public" until they have had their last set of shots at 16 weeks. So my resourceful husband called up a company that sells artificial grass, and our balcony is now outfitted with a 3.5" x 3.5" piece just perfect for puppy. She likes playing around in it, too, and I don't think she has any idea it's not the real thing.


All that playing wore her out:


Here's Kenzie's photo companion. We'll take more pictures with him in the coming months, so we can mark how much she grows. Her tilted head is a result of telling her to "Smile!"
