Making it

Making it through the first week with a puppy is an accomplishment.  I feel like I've run a marathon; if I can do this- I can do anything!  It's easy to see why so many puppies are given up to shelters; they're TOUGH WORK!  Their cuteness is really a great disguise for all that goes into making them an obedient part of your family.

We've learned some things this week-

1) Puppies love to sleep on your lap.
2) Puppies love to chew on anything and everything.
3) Puppies are curious, even more so than cats at times.
4) Puppies don't sleep through the night.
5) Puppies whine when they want something.
6) Puppies need to be taken out frequently to eliminate.
7) Kids will complain about how frequently said puppy needs to go out.
8) Puppies love feeding time.
9) Puppies never learn the first time.
10) Puppies require repetition for learning.
11) Puppies are unconditional in their love for you.

Each day is an improvement over the last; she's learning and growing and playful.
We love that she is a part of our family.
