POTTY TRAINING

Potty Training Sucks!  unless of course you happen to have an extremely smart puppy, like mine.  Fourth day into this ordeal and Rufus is sleeping most of the night, the whining has stopped and he is starting to settle into a nice routine.  After an early morning whisk out the door and business is done, bring him in, set him down and tell him to "get in the kennel" he walks right in, flops down and goes back to sleep. Amazing! --sg

Rufus Comes Home

On Thursday, March 22nd, we drove over to the Coast to pick up Rufus, our new seven week old French Pointer. Weighing around 9lbs, he playfully welcomed us by grabbing our shoelaces and clumsily jumping around.

We finally got him home, and showed him his new house in the kitchen which consists of a small doggy gate and a crate. After playing with him for a bit, he crashed and slept until 1AM, when he started to cry pretty bad for a couple of hours. After two nights in the same routine, he is getting better at sleeping.

We are still working on potty training him. So far he's done really well. We'll see how the next week goes!
