Almost 8 months


We have been really busy and unable to update our site...... but to day I will do my best to do so. I just need to post the pictures and the thoughts that go with them :)
The first picture is after her discovery of the hose as I watered my rose bush... I am not sure if it is alive but I will keep trying. I think I am going to have to frame this one.
Ceana must be kept busy or she transform into her alter ego destructo-pup, which I believe needs no explanation. When she is bored she decides to throw a party and uses toilet paper as her main form of decoration. We have however come up with ways to keep her busy in week one.
Wow, this is going to be harder than we thought. On her first Day I let Ceana out every three hours and we had no accidents. I thought we were as good as gold.... nope I was just lucky enough to get her timing down. Since then we have resorted to a delicate routine. Ceana is let out back every three hours where we say "go potty" everytime. Either Chris or I sit outside with her and she is not allowed in until she goes. As she goes we try and give her as many good praises as possible. When she goes in the house we are also telling her no and then promptly taking her outside. All of the literature that we have read has told us that she can't actually "hold" anything yet, so we are trying to balance not having too high of expectations with letting her know that going in the house in unexceptable and not letting it become habit forming.
