New Family Member, Pampered Chef and SNOW

Yesterday this little redhead joined our family. Her name is Belinda but we will call her Lindi. She is an 11-month old, long-haired, red, miniature dachshund. She weighs in at about 8 pounds. Lucky for us, she fits right into all of Jasmine's stuff. We adopted her from 7 Bells Sanctuary in Montrose, MO. Bruce picked her up on his way to the lake yesterday so he's had her all to himself. I think this was his way of making sure that she likes him better than me! He says that she is a beautiful little girl that is just as sweet as she can be and is unbelievably soft. He has yet to hear her bark. She slept all night in her own kennel and didn't make a peep. She has claimed a pillow as her own and he says that as soon as they come in from outside, she runs right to her pillow and that is where she stays. She is on a hunger strike but we figure that will end soon. I think Bruce is a VERY proud papa! I can't wait to get my hands on this one. I'll probably have to pry Bruce's hand off of her. We have yet to hear back from our little Jasmine Two's shelter. Her website shows adoption pending. We thought were all set to pick her up last Sunday but we were told we needed to wait. Now no matter how hard we try, we can't get the shelter woman to contact us to let us know where and when to pick up the dog. This morning Amy hosted a Pampered Chef party at her condo. We woke up to about 3 inches of snow with more coming down. It continued to snow until about 2:00 p.m. We received more snow today than we have had since December 2005. In spite of the nasty weather, Amy had 22 women for her party. My friend Diane Carter picked me up in her trusty Subaru about 8:00 this morning and we went over to help Amy get ready. Diane was a life-saver. We had a lot of fun and thanks to our wonderful friends, Amy's kitchen is going to be stocked with free merchandise. She's going to close her party Tuesday so if any of you want some cool kitchen gadgets, let me know and I'll fix you right up!
