Makaylah came home Sept. 1st, what a joy she is. She did not like the drive home, and was sick in the truck. Didn't help much when I realized the breader had fed her that morning. YUCK!!!!!!
Not such a joy the first three nights. She hated her kennel. Last night was the first night she only got up once during the night. She is doing well with her house breaking. She likes my frills on my carpet, and my curtains. She likes peoples toes.
Makaylah, had her first training lesson last Friday, and is doing well with her sitting and down command. She got her first vest with "Future Service Dog" on it. We also have our card we carry around.
She is having a morning nap so I am able to post a quick note. Will post pictures little later if I can catch her in another nap.
Had a toy box made for her. Not sure she likes it or not, all she did yesterday was bark at it. At 8 weeks she likes climbing on furniture, pulling things off tables, and giving lots of kisses.
Since bringing her home, I loss 3 lbs, amazing. I hurt more but don't think of the pain, too busy keeping her out of trouble.
Hugs - will keep you posted

Hi Gerri I am so happy for you. I know that getting Makaylah was quite a battle. I know that she will become a great companion for you. Keep us posted on her progress. And good luck with the puppy version of the terrible twos...

Scott, she nearly landed in the bath tub this morning, if she could've got up the side of tub - terrible two's - I think you may have a point there.

She will start teething soon. When that happens, she will use all you furniture as chew toys. She sounds like a healthy, active puppy, just as she should at her age. She will be keeping you busy for a while. Enjoy!

Gerri, so glad to hear Makaylah is home. Hopefully the adjustment phase will pass quickly.

Hi GErri, I'm so glad you finally have your pup!!!! She will be teething soon, so be prepared for every shoe in your house to be targetted. You might check at the pet store for a Kong toy for her. They come in different sizes and are awesome for teething puppies. Also, you might want to get a Croc sandal for her to chew on. Louisiana Hot Sauce and Cayenne Pepper work a treat for discouraging pup from chomping on furniture. Just be prepared to smell hot sauce everywhere you go for a while. It sounds like her training is going really well, Gerr. I'm so happy for you. It's been such a long road for you. Warm hugs,
Kat
