I had the best day ever!

Today was the best day ever - in puppy training lingo. Skye, the Blue Merle pound puppy, knows how to get let outside - when she rings a bell hanging on the door! Yeah - no accidents since she started doing this. Of course her sister Sassy, the Red Merle, gets let out at the same time so she is benefiting as well. This is a break though with puppy training so far. They've had days when they are let out and "go potty" as instructed, but 15 minutes later when let in they wet on the floor! Has been so frustrating, however, I have decided to change my attitude and have the ability to decide if I had the best day ever. They are just 11 weeks old, so I may be overly optimistic, but pleased at any baby steps. It is good that we got two pups, I cannot keep up with them - they play constantly like it's a visit to a puppy park every moment they are awake. So glad when they take naps so I can get things accomplished.

Their bellies are so soft and they love to be petted there. Both want to be lap dogs. They let me wipe their feet at the door and also like to work for goodies. They can sit, down, and roll over, but are still working on stay, come, and "don't eat that chicken "s@#t". La Sigh! Puppy kindergarten here we come!
