things with the new puppy are going pretty well.
he is a great companion, we had our first night of whining, i want mommy and daddy lastnight, even though we were in the same room with him.
ben decided to put him in the bed once when he was restless and the little dear fell right off.
*CLUNK*
he still thinks he needs to poo inside, but pee's outside ok, i secretly wish it was the other way around, because although i dont have a HUGE problem with cleaning up pee, i do have a LARGE problem cleaning up dog shit, it stink to the high heavens, and its just gross, plain and simply said.
i try to take him out every few hours to use the bathroom, but he doesnt let me know when he has to go, so he ends up poo-ing before i take him outside, its very difficult, and all the sites online say its best to carrier/crate train them, but i dont really agree with that whole premis and neither does ben, so it looks like we're gonna go with the old fashion, praise if you go outside and cleanup for them inside, because its apparently YOUR fault if you didnt see the accident coming.
its a little aggravating but i'll get through it im sure, he's a good boy.
right now spinner is laying in the bed looking at my while i type up my journal.
i just took a bunch of pictures, so hopefully i'll have them posted sometime soon.
im trying to start a schedule of where i wake up around 9-10 but go to bed @ 12-1, that way i can be up with spinner and be able to take care of him during the day and get him into the habit of sleeping at night which he pretty much does. but puppies apparently sleeping 14-17 hrs a day, he i think he is going to puppy nap during the day, i just wanna keep the bulk of that sleeping time within bens and my sleeping schedule.
tawni came over yesterday, and she puppy sat while i tidyed my room up and such.
then she played the sims - urbz thingy for gamecube for most of the time she was here.
not much else i have to say, except for the fact that im addicted to pear and peach fruit cups.
soooo refreshing.
mmmm.
