I visited her at the home of her breeder.
"Laci". Noelle was added to her name because of the date of her birth. Noelle
means; birthday, Christmas; song of praise. She is a beautiful Pekingese puppy
Her color is 'champagne/white' and we think she is wonderful! We are so happy
to find a breeder with a beautiful little blonde Peke. Laci has been eating
on her own for one week, is doing great and will come to her 'forever' home
on January 31, 2005.
Pekes are of Chinese origin and date back to the Tang Dynasty of the
8th century. Pekingese were bred in the Royal palaces and anyone caught
trying to steal one was punished by death. There first appearance outside
of China was during the war with England and France during the 1860's when
at least one was brought home to England and presented to Queen Victoria.
The British became the first stronghold of breeders for Pekingese. They are
called "lion dogs" for their lionine appearance and their fearless nature.
They do not seem to realize they are small dogs and will take on the largest
of dogs if challenged. Prized as show dogs today, they are even more prized
as loving,loyal, companions. They are very loving, playful and eager to
please their people.

Her first day home with us.
At first, she was hesitant about wandering but by bedtime,
she was enjoying herself and the "big" spaces. Her tail is "up"
in the normal Peke way. Earlier, she was investigating
but that tail was down.

toys and the one above is a favorite at this time. She is eating
well and sleeping a lot which is good for a young puppy of her
age. She visited our veterinarian today for her "new puppy"
checkup and was pronounced healthy. She weighs 2 lbs.
She is being fed Hills Science Diet for puppies and loves it.

my oldest cat, is tolerant of her as long as she isn't trying
to bite at his legs. When she does that, he simply gets in a
chair where she cannot reach him.
had been with us for a couple of weeks. She went outdoors for the
first time.
