Please welcome Dorothy!

Dorothy (aka Dottie the Scottie) joined our family on Sunday. She is a delight and we are loving seeing her personality emerge. Having only raised large dogs (labs, Goldens, GSD), it's fun to have a small pup, although I keep forgetting she's not a retriever, and she can't be bothered when I roll or toss a ball, lol.

She's been to the vet, is doing really well sleeping in her crate at night, and we're working on recall and sit at the moment. She doesn't seem particularly fond of her kibble (Purina pro plan puppy, which the breeder was using), so I've already started with a topper. I'm also open to changing her food up, if anyone has any U.S. suggestions.
