Happy Halloween!

We survived a whole week!!!

We would like to wish you a Happy Halloween!!!

Trying something new

Averey still seems to bark and whine a lot when being crated. I pulled out my whopping huge boom box and found a radio station and placed it near her crate with station on at a low volume, so she can hear it. I am not sure of the station, it is so dusty, but there seemed to be talk.

I went to my doctors appointment this morning and came back to have breakfast and she is just overly excited to see me. I am hoping that is all a part of getting crate trained. I really want to focus on that before really focusing hard on piddle training. The rain the other night ruined it. We go through the motions of going out though.

I am also starting to work on the behaviors when I eat. I am trying to teach her to sit and be patient while I eat. I think I need to start eating at the table to really make this work with her. So, over the next few days I need to clear it and make a space for Emma and her food and my plate for when I eat.

Overall Averey is doing wonderful and it is such a joy to bring her into my home. Emma is even beginning to warm up to her. I think Emma is beginning to understand crate training. Emma looks at me with a sad look when I do crate her, but it may be the whines from Averey upsetting her. Emma also joined us to sleep last night. Emma is doing super. I am so relieved.

Emma

Emma is really trying to come around. Averey is sitting in my lap and Emma just came in to rub my legs with Averey in my lap. I think Emma will be fine it is just a matter of patience right now.

Wednesday afternoon

It is rough coming home and getting this crate training stuff done. Av's is a tough little cookie, but whines in a very high pitch shreak right in the ear. So, we are really trying to get through and get used to this new routine. It is rough, but it is going.

I think it could be a lot worse.

Wednesday

I slept well last night. I was ancy once I woke from my evening nap, but played and got to sleep. My mommy was even able to bake brownies and she cut them up this morning to go to dance this evening.

I am so happy the wind and rain stopped. I was able to go out to piddle, but I need to start working on potty training asap with Mommy.

I went into the crate well this morning, but was still a bit upset. Mommy hopes this gets easier.

Johnny taught Averey how to bless herself

Tuesday Night!!!

I was not howling as much when Mommy got home this evening. Mommy is shifting her habits to meet my needs and respect my neighbors. For example, she is ready for bed instead of waiting until 11 pm, since I bark and howl when she gets in the bathroom.

I am quietly resting now for a while while Mommy wraps things up online and posts here. Then she will wake me to play and to go outside before heading to bed.

Oh, she even made brownies and got things done!

Howling

Got to the Condo door and all was quiet. I entered, then the howls started. I think Averey was excited, but that excited she kept howling in excitement for about 10 minutes. I took her out twice, but this rainy weather is not helping in the piddle training front. I set Averey down and she runs right up the steps to go inside.

Since i had a barking confused puppy last night while taking a bath. I am going to try to get ready for bed at a more reasonable time. So, I don't feel guilty for a barking dog at 11 pm.

Tuesday....

Today was a great morning. I slept until 7 a.m. Mommy had to actually had to wake me up to go out. I did piddle in the rain. But came in to like double poopy, but one ended up in kitchen on the ceramic tile floor. Which is super easy to clean up.

Also, I had a great day yesterday even after my boosters. I cried while Mommy cleaned up in the bathroom, so she does have to change her bathtime, cuz I cry and bark. I then played a bit and then when we went to bed I snuggled by Mommy's feet and Emma actually crawled on top of then beside Mommy and was still in bed until the alarm went off.

Treats

My Mommy is home from work

Snack Time

We like to snack together when Mommy gets home. Emma is in tolerating me mode.

Mommy's first day to work

I survived my Mommy's first day at work. I was crying and whining when she got home. But that is normal. Emma was even out and about more since Mommy is home. Emma is growling a bit less, but giving me a chance.

This is also my new dress. The dress has "Born to Bark" written on it. And I am a beauty queen in my new outfit. Xsmall is still big on me, but I am being patient.

I went out for a nice walk and played hard when Mommy got home. I am now taking a nap sitting next to Mommy.

First Vet Visit

Today I went to my first vet visit. I am a little over 3 lbs. I was a good girl. I have to go back in 3 weeks for my next set of shots. As a baby and as a small pup, I need to go more and get smaller doses.

At 6 months I will go and get spayed.

I slept a lot yesterday and I slept until about 5 in the morning, went potty, then came in and snuggled up again to get warm and go back to sleep. I had a few accidents around the house but we will be working on house training and keeping our fingers and toes crossed.

My mommy is going to work this afternoon, so I will get crate trained the first time. Mommy is a bit nervous, but she has to let go and do that. She needs to fix up the new crate.

We did visit petsmart after going to the vet. I did poopy on the floor, but mommy cleaned it up. But she also got me new toe nail clippers, so tonight we will start the first clippings so I get used to it. I also got a purdy outfit. We will debut it this evening, so check back later to check it out.

Where's the Sassiness?

When I was with Mommy, Sarah, & Ruby I was a sassy girl. I even snapped at Daddy yesterday and made his lip bleed. But since I came to my new home there has been no sass. I am learning to walk nicer on my leash. I met some neighbors, then I met a german shepard named Ricky. I even met a group of boys who were playing football and they wanted to be my friends, but I was nervous.

Mommy shared some of her bowl of strawberry cheerios with me tonight and they were really yummy. I sneaked a few sips of her water then too from the chinese glass from Momma's house. Yum!

Napping the afternoon away!

I had a great afternoon of napping by my mommy!!! I like snuggling on the couch while mommy is on the computer!

Meeting Emma

I am slowly getting to know Emma. I hope we are able to snuggle instead of growl and bark soon. Cat growls are scary.

Trip Home

The trip home was a bit trying...

We whined and howeled for about 45 minutes. Then pooped in crate. Then puked all over my Mommy.

We stopped to clean up the mess at the Sheets in Leesport, then went for a walk and I left a peep there.

Got back on the road and I slept the rest of the way.

I am enjoying my new home and am trying to meet Emma, my cat sister.

I will share my adventures through this blog!
