Puppy update: I wouldn't want to be out there, either

Our puppy Sammie (she is posing in the "puppy selfie" that Heidi posted on Facebook last night) is assimilating well to her home life. She has truly made herself at home. She loves the couch. She has taken ownership of a pink comforter. She is very calm most of the time, but has her "puppy moments" where she wants to gnaw on anything -- the side of the refrigerator, the TV remote, our shoelaces. She's also got this warm, loving home thing down pat. Let me tell you. Yesterday was a cold and rainy day. Today is just downright COLD, as in January/February cold. When it's time for her to go outside to do her business, she puts the brakes on. She doesn't want to go. She wants to stay inside where it's warm. Who can blame her?
