Puppy Love

I started the day asleep on the kitchen floor. Puppy and owner were having some anxiety last night after the first middle-o-night potty break, so puppy and owner crashed together on the kitchen floor.

The kitchen floor is slate and we haven't turned our heat on yet. Needless to say, restive sleep eludes me.

Jen started her shift at 6am and I got to sleep in the bed. While I slept, Jen took puppy on a moonlit walk around the park, fed her and took a shower with her (not actually with her). At 7:30 I got up (again) and took puppy for another walk. This time CJ went with us and shared training duties. Hit the park again. The walk was good. Puppy, CJ and owner had a good time. Jen left for work and I worked from home again. Puppy protested, but two walks prevailed and she eventually laid down.

Two walks did the job. She wasn't ready for another walk till about 4pm, then dinner, then another walk with CJ. Puppy couldn't finish last walk - too tired and too many distractions (new people and dogs everywhere).

She's not getting the whole only pee outside thing. Hopefully soon.

They are so much work.

It took Loda ten months to learn to pee and poo outside. TEN LONG months of great dane sized messes. This is how she earned the nickname "super retarded dog".

10 months? Ouch. Fortunately they're worth it.
