learning

things are little crazy around here since we added this little guy to our family on saturday.

all weekend was spent thinking about the puppy, playing with the puppy and training the puppy. it was fun and exciting. but then monday came and quickly brought me back to reality. i suddenly realized that having him here is like having a new baby in the house, who needs to be supervised constantly if he isn't in his crate which he hates! after an incident with dog poop in places it should not be, i started to think maybe we made a mistake and maybe this wasn't such a great idea after all.

i needed a little guidance so off to the library we went for this.


i have only read a few chapters but i am already feeling better about the task of training our new pup. all he needs is a little consistency and some positive reinforcement. if you know me, you know i am all about the schedule baby! so the ideas from this book are extremely cohesive with our family life. yay!

i mean come on, i trained two kids to sleep 12hrs a night, nap, not to mention how to put themselves to sleep and potty trained one, i can certainly train this puppy!

plus, he is super cute, loves my kids, doesn't bark (seriously we haven't heard him bark yet) and we love him.

wish us luck!

que the rocky theme song please.

happy monday!
