Daisy's First Days in a Residence Inn

Daisy's birthday is June 7, 2011.

I first met her when she was four weeks old.

One month old

Three close girlfriends went with me to pick her up in Charleston, SC.  Maltese stay with their mothers until they are 12 weeks old.

So cuddly

Her first road trip was to White Plains, a suburb of NYC, where we lived in a 15 floor high-rise Residence Inn, a former condominium complex, for several weeks.   (Hubby was deployed to a storm there.)  Situated on the 11th floor in a corner suite, Daisy had lots of square footage to play.

Situated at 5 Barker Ave., this was city living for all three of us and provided great instruction for our new puppy.  Daisy learned to stay in a Sherpa bag while traveling by train, as we ate in restaurants, and as we walked.   She was already 95% potty trained, so we regularly made lots of trips up and down the elevator to avoid accidents, and she experienced a variety of bathroom surfaces that have served her well since.  (There was little grass in a city setting.)  There were many opportunities for social development. One in particular was a friendly Italian cab driver who frequented the reservation desk waiting on customers.  Daisy also attended the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
