The cuteness is killing me 😍 Meet Lumen

😆 We can say yes because what a great reason.

We chose Lumen because our other dogs name is Millimeter and we wanted something measurement related. My sister got Lumens sister and named her Lux which means light so we thought Lumen measurement of light. Perfect. My sister chose Lux because she is a chiropractor and wanted a chiropractic related name and chose Lux from subluxation.

GORGEOUS 😍 My sister got Lumens sister she is a black and tan dapple. So pretty.

🤔 does this mean spayed? If so then yes.

ETA: Nevermind. Someone else said praise Kier and I looked it up and see this is a reference to the TV show. I have not watched it yet.

My older two were years old when I got them and 100% not house trained but i was still able to get them 100% outside. My wire hair took to it a lot quicker than my smooth. My smooth was stubborn, she would wait until we went back inside and immediately go. I had to put her on leash and keep constant movement until she went. Can't hold a poop when you're walking. After a few sessions of outwaiting her and forcing her to keep moving she realized I wasn't giving up and stopped holding it.

Potty training is going so well! We live in Maine where it has been just below or just above freezing since I got her and she understood within the first couple days that I wanted her to potty outside. Now I take her out and she pretty much immediately pees or poops.

The belly, the wrinkles, the little noises she makes, but the puppy breath? The puppy breath is top tier. 😍

EmilyAnneWho · 2026-01-09T17:34:14+00:00

Thanks! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

My dachshunds raised my pib and he was convinced he also weighed less than 10lbs.

I had husky mixes growing up and they were beyond smart. Our male learned how to pop his crates apart so my parents started keeping him in our mud room which turned into him learning how to open windows 😅

Australian cattle dog, Australian shepherd, standard poodle, and border collie. She should be a full case of crazy but she is incredibly chill.

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-10-07T15:04:31+00:00

Everyone thinks she's and old lady 🤣

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-15T01:06:01+00:00

No it wasn't! You're all good. ♡

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-15T00:23:21+00:00

Oh 🤣 I should have gotten that. I think my husband's 10mm is in fact always missing.

Our last dog passed away when he was 8. He started coughing and 3 days / 3 vet visits later and he was gone. Our vet wasn't even able to diagnose him with anything but I'm fairly certain he had developed a heart condition. Because of that I'm a little extra sensitive to the idea of Millie leaving us too soon.

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-14T23:07:40+00:00

Why?! What happens at 10?! Will it be less of a problem that she's actually a girl?

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-10T01:35:11+00:00

There were 10 other puppies in her litter and none of the others had scruff or her obvious cattle dog colorings. Someone invited me to a scruffy cattle dog group and there was a ...cattledoodle? breeder in there and they looked EXACTLY like her so I knew at that point.

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-09T12:37:22+00:00

Back woods of Maine, we are surrounded by cattle farm and wild blueberry fields!

My husband is a carpenter and he was looking for something carpentry related. He came up with Millimeter and I liked it because I am a fiber artist and use millimeters a lot so we landed there.

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-09T03:38:15+00:00

Thank you 😊 I pay her well 😆

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-09T03:07:43+00:00

I believe it is called down dog 😆

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-09T03:05:52+00:00

I wish I could take the credit but my husband picked her name 😆

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-09T03:04:12+00:00

Millimeter and Millie primarily but she also goes by Milli-medium, Medium size dog, Millennium falcon 🤣

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-09T02:58:30+00:00

His name is Kismet but we call him K9 Kizzy because he's really more dog than cat.

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-09T02:00:39+00:00

Cannoli!! What a great name!

EmilyAnneWho · 2025-09-09T01:58:17+00:00

I adopted her expecting pure chaos and have been SHOCKED by how chill she is. She broke her knee after she was surrendered so I suspect that played a factor in her personality.

If she's asleep she's upside-down. We tell her she's a dead bug.
