7 Weeks old today

I really have to apologize. It has been the craziest last two weeks. First of all we moved!! We are still in Tooele, Utah but we are in a bigger house with a bigger yard for the dogs to play. Everyone handled the move just fine including Annabelle. She still has her little pen set up right by the door to the backyard. However this is not a sliding glass door so she will not learn to use a dog door. I will start moving her pad closer to the door and eventually outside and see how that works. It should at least give her a good start on housebreaking. Everyone seems to have finally settled in. But we have also been dealing with a family issue on my husbands side. He has a sister who is 44 years old but still does not make the smartest decisions. She met a man on Facebook and he has become her everything. She has even left her two daughters for him. So we have spent time trying to talk to her and explain what she is doing and how it is going to affect them. We have also been trying to just show those girls how much they are loved by everyone else in the family. It has been a very emotional two weeks for me. My body is physically worn out from moving and I am emotionally worn out from dealing with his family. However I still feel horrible that it has been this long without an update.
So here it goes. Annabelle is doing wonderful. She is eating more solid food now. She has been eating Purina One Puppy Formula with just a little bit of water to soften it a little. She is no longer getting any canned food and no longer getting a bottle at all. She is a very messy eater though. She gets in it and gets it all over her face and her front paws. Callie really does not have an interest in cleaning her anymore either. So she will be getting her first bath tonight. I will try to get some photos of that to add here. It should be interesting. As you will see in the videos below she is very playful. Even during the middle of the night. She still sleeps in a kennel next to my bed, but she will wake up at least once during the night to potty and play for about half an hour. Luckily Callie and Tux don't seem to mind entertaining her at that time. So here are the videos, hope you enjoy and I will try to get some photos of the bath this evening.

In this video she is really wanting to get out and play. At the end she just looks so darn cute.

In this one I have her up in the front room and she is playing with Aidan. She loves to follow people and chase after them to play.
