Now I have two teething animals (Kit & Comet). Too much fun. Anyway, having a puupy is sucking out all my "me" time on the days that Brent is at work. Which is fine, I'm still rearranging things in my schedule to fit them both in.
This is a great experience for Kit. She is learning that mom & Dad can pay attention to someone (something) else, and it doesn't mean that we don't love her. He also gets some interaction with the dog. That way when she & he are ready to actually play they will know how to act around each other.
Don't get me wrong. it's HARD having a puppy & a baby. I need to make sure they are both being taught & not being neglected. I guess it's good training for when I have two kids. Too bad I can't just leave a kid tied up outside for a while. :) Kidding. Anyway.
So, we picked Comet up on Tuesday at about 10am. By then it was already 70 degrees. the day was beautiful. That night at least 50mph guts came up and dropped the temperature 40 degrees. So it was around freezing that night. then the rain came. It rained all Wednesday & yesterday. Poor puppy. He's an outside dog but I brought him into the garage so he wouldn't get soaked. I bet he's wondering how this could be better than the warm, dry dog shelter he was in for the last month or so.
Oh, but he's such a good dog. We don't have our yard fenced yet, so we got him a dog Kennel that's about 4' by 6'. not much fun, so during the day I tie him up to a rope in the backyard and let him romp. Well, I guess i need to work on my rope tying skills. I looked out to check on him & saw him wandering around the backyard, but without the rope! He was heading to the neighbor's yard. (they have a black Lab puppy) I went out & called him. He came straight to me (good dog) & I tied him up, better this time, hopefully, but he was chewing on someone else's raw hide. In the 10 minutes since I last saw him he had wandered to one of the many neighbor's yards & stole their chewy. I threw it into the Lab's yard, thinking it was probably his, but I'm not sure now. Oh well. that was an adventure. I'm just glad he's such a lovey, clingy puppy that he didn't just run off.
Kit is getting so big! she's probably about 30 inches now, and over 17 pounds.

: After:
Yea, that's her reaching things on the edge of the table! Kit wants so bad to be walking. She's doing everything she can to stay on her feet and get around by holding on to mom, dad, or anything she can get her hands on.
Well, Kit's sleeping & the puupy needs training, so I'm off. Ciao!

Your puppy is the CUTEST little guy! Chris is jealous that you have one. That's saying a lot because he hardly ever gets jealous. That must be a lot of work. If we did end up getting one he'd be full-grown or at least fully trained because I don't know that much about dogs. So kudos to you! Kit must love him- she's a lucky baby.
