Introducing Izzy

So I have been neglecting this announcement for a while, but Sam and I have a new dog. Knowing we could never replace the goofy glory that was Angie, we went the other direction and bought a Boston Terrier, who may possibly grow to 15 pounds but seems to think she is already ten times that. She is 18 weeks old and we have had her for a little over 2 months. She is a relentless little toe biter, that has no fear when it comes to animals exponentially larger than her. She has a love/hate affair with socks, and enjoys nothing more than tearing things into small pieces (apparently she takes after me in this regard).

This is her as a pup right after we got her. The first couple of weeks were rough as Sam and I got very little sleep when the Monster decided that she did not like crate training. She was very fortunate to be this cute or I would have hit her with a brick.
This is actually the day we got her. She was meeting Sable for the first time. Notice the distinct lack of fear in her eyes as if she doesn't even notice that Sable (or Bob for that matter) could swallow her in one bite.
Sam doesn't think it is smart to stick Izzy's head out of the sunroof but I know better. She likes it.
This is Izzy after she had a bad reaction to some vaccinations. She looked like she was melting. It was awful to see, but she was a trooper. She has recovered from that and now has entered an epic battle with skin mites. I'll keep you posted on that. She has already defeated coccidia which she had when we got her.
This last picture is the most recent. I was a little worried that she maybe a Sox fan due to her coloring and the fact that she pooped on my Cubs shirt (to be fair who hasn't pooped on the Cubs this season), but I think this picture demonstrates where her loyalties lay. Wait until we get her a little Urlacher jersey for football season.

I realize this is not officially a wedding related post, (I wanted to add her to the wedding party but Sam said no. She's naturally black tie , I don't see what the big deal is), but the Izzy addition has been a welcome distraction to all the wedding planning so we wanted to share her with all of you that have not been lucky enough to see her in person (in puppy?) yet.
