~* Scooter *~ (New Puppy) Up-date

Yes, Ken and the kids arrived home safely on Sunday with Scooter (her new name). She is very sweet, and has not even cried at night. She does love to go to the Christmas tree, though, and I'm putting up a gate to keep her from getting into it. She's doing a little scratching, and doesn't like her collar. Should I wait to put it on her?
Also, I'm wondering if she needs a jacket or sweater to go outside. it is unusually cold for this time of year here in New Jersey -Barb Farricker
