OK, so basically, Ethel is doing just about famously!
She has only done ONE wee properly in the house so far (touching that wood there) which is, in my opinion, remarkable for an 8 week old puppy and her new home she's just getting settled into! The other couple have just been excited dribbles when greeting us from inside her crate, not being able to wait to be unleashed!!
She has just about masted 'sit', when I show her how using my hand (and treats…!) and is responding to her name, or at least getting there pretty much so.
Her and Earl are friends, when we introduced them they had a sniff, and Earl couldn't care less! NOW, they roll around together and they were even tugging on a raggy this morning - together! Its so lovely to experience a once only-dog adapting so happily to suddenly having a companion.
She passed her vet check with flying colours, and especially loved his delicious GRAVY BONES!!!!! Mmmmmm :-)
Getting carried away there. Ethel told me to put that, OK?
Anyway. She has bundles of energy, and loves nothing more than zooming round the garden dragging behind her the hugest, heaviest toy in the basket around with her! I wouldn't be surprised if she now had mouth ache!! Severely!!
Earl and her are learning to share toys too!
We have to work on her love of twigs, leaves, petals, etc however. These are what she loves to have a good gnaw on, which we don't allow her to do.
On her journey home Sunday, she was sick once, big time. She whined, obviously feeling off at first, then slept soundly and solidly for the rest of the long journey! Bless her sweet little PUPsicle heart.
She also loves her cuddles with me. The bond is forming lovingly! The entire family has fallen in love with her big time - she is totally part of us now!!!
When she's asleep, Earl and I have some alone time, just the 2 of us, interacting. That's important. But he's so happy being a threesome now!
Its still exciting waking up to a pup every morning!

Thanks! Thanks again!
DeleteMom Kim here - Oh do I remember the big and small - Shiloh was 3 when I first brought Diva Shasta home at 8 weeks. I have a picture of them playing tug of war that I cherish as well as a few others of them playing together. Even now, they are now 11 and soon to be 8 years old - wonderful memories and still making more.
