Puppy Time

Somehow, you find time for a puppy. Chad started coming home on lunch breaks, and we started spending less time watching tv, and more time interacting with a cute puppy. We bought her tons of toys, worked on kennel training, and had a few sleepless nights as we potty trained her. She was wonderful. Taking her out every couple of hours worked so quickly to get her potty trained, and after a couple weeks, she didn't have any more accidents in the house. I agree with Kasha though, that after the hoopla of getting them trained to go outside, you wish you had trained them to go outside, in the far corner of the lawn. oh well...

The only thing about having a puppy is that you are so excited and want to show everyone your bundle of joy, but they cant go out until they have all their shots, and after they get their exercise, all they do is sleep.
She would have so much energy pent up, so we would try to play in the yard, which gets old after a while. But oh well, she's so cute you don't mind just staring at her as she plays, explores the world, and just lays around being lazy...

Once she got a few weeks older, we started socializing her with Chad's sister's dog, Ozzie, who is only a few months older than her. At first she was so hesitant and scared, but once she warmed up to him, they had a blast!

She was so adorable, so tiny, so goofy. I couldn't wait for her to be bigger so we could take her out. But then you always miss that puppy face and all those wrinkles! I cant believe that was only a few short months ago...
