Luka has arrived!

So after much anticipation, Luka is finally here! She arrived at JFK last Wednesday around 3:30pm. Unlike Chachi who was calm from day one and incredibly shy to come out of the cage at the airport, Luka jumped out of the cage and couldn’t stop squirming, moving, jumping, licking, running, eating, drinking, etc. She’s incredibly cute and we’re very excited to have her. We went straight from the airport to the vet (I know, talk about having a traumatizing day!), and they said she was fine, all’s good and that she weighted 5 pounds… At this point Chachi is looking like a Giant Schnauzer at 12 pounds!

Amazingly Chachi reacted very well when she first met her; she was playing with her and she seemed very happy. Later that night, after she realized that this new tiny-constantly-moving-thing wasn’t leaving her house, she got really pissed and started to mark her territory. Oh well, a week and a few days later, they’re getting along fine. They play all the day, speaking a very odd language that it seems only Chewbacca would understand, but at least they’re playing… I do miss sleeping all throughout the night though… I shall never take that for granted ever again. I’m thinking (and really hoping) that Luka will get into a regular schedule and sleep all throughout the night soon. VERY SOON!!!

Here are a few pics! Enjoy. On the last picture you will notice that Luka has something funky on her nose; yup, slobber from playing w/ Chachi!

Too cute, congrats on the expanding family. Maybe they are speaking doggy spanish to eachother? Chachi to Luka "Mi casa NO es su casa, beyotch!"

Glad they worked it out.
