Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Introducing…..Archie

Archie in car with Eva
We have a new puppy! This is Archie, a Wire Hair Terrier. He is four months old and is the sweetest little guy ever. I hope I don't jinx things by saying he seems to have a rather mellow personality! He has yet to bark or make a sound of any kind. We are taking things slowly, introducing him to things gradually. He has never been on grass until today, and the joy he exhibited when he stepped on it brought a smile to all our faces. He literally pitched himself onto the grass and rolled in it. Then he got the zoomies and careened all over the backyard grass.

He doesn't mind being in a crate.

But prefers it when Eva joins him. 

We are so happy getting to know him! You will be seeing a lot more of him here, that is for sure.

  1. Very happy for you and Archie. One of the blessings of a new puppy is that he will make you smile, and often laugh out loud, every day.

  28. Archie is adorable, as is his name! We crate trained our two for sleeping at night from the day we brought them home. It’s their ‘cave’ & both go in on their own at bedtime. Enjoy the puppy days! 🐶

  31. So happy for you and welcome Archie 🐶🐾 I see the “momma doggie” on top of the crate! The heartbeat sound helped when our puppy was small – made the transition to a crate by himself much easier. Enjoy your little guy!

  40. oh, forgot to add: hide your shoes! it’s an on-going game in this house…shoes are better than his favorite toy because it gets a laugh and a chase from us. or, a ‘trade’ for a treat. ;p

  43. Oh, Nicole! How wonderful for you! Years ago when I was looking for a pup, I asked you what breed Ozzie was. We ended up getting a Wire Fox Terrier (I had one as a child)! Our little male Foxie will be 3 in September. They are wonderful dogs with quite the personality. I’m sure Eva will enjoy the little guy, too. Best wishes!
