Puppy

 I look at training a puppy much the way I think of training up a child.  It is a lot of work in the beginning to get the payoff in the end.

Her favorite spot in on or between my feet.

Lucy came to us mostly piddle pad trained for urine.  We had started to get the other down, but we had regression after her shots yesterday, which is not too surprising.

She is very socially motivated.  She likes to have her people close.  We generally are keeping her in our eat in kitchen until potty training is a bit better in hand, with leashed visits to the rest of downstairs.

She loves to chew, so we got her plenty of toys for that to sub in for us. 🙂

She doesn’t love the collar, but she loves to go out on walks.  We’ve taken her to Sonic and the vet.

Everyone Loves Lucy

The kids have been asking for a dog for a very long time.

Yesterday we met this girl.

She likes to nap, but has to adjust to sleeping at night here.

She loves to cuddle.

She loves the kids.  They got her to chase them in the yard today, after they convinced her grass was okay.
