First weekend with the puppy was challenging...to say the least. While she is a very cute and sweet girl, I personally underestimated how exhausting a puppy could possibly be! She is a tiny little girl right now (7.5 lbs). Her spurts of energy don't last too long then she crashes for about 1-2 hours. She does not like her kennel, but I refuse to cave in letting her out while she is whining. The cat is curious and isn't scared of her, but the puppy wants to play while cat does not. LOL.

Wish me luck....hope she gets better as the week progresses. I'm EXHAUSTED! Thank God for caffeine!

Awwwwww, Mama Lush that is the sweetest picture! I know that this is an adjustment period with the puppy and I need to get a grip on myself. I stress out about little things way too easily! I can't help it Oh well. You live and you learn right?

aww...sweet pic mama lush!
and yup, bridget..they are like babies! she'll settle down into a routine soon hopefully..but not before you lose plenty of sleep and a little bit of your mind you need to post some pics too!
I partied a bit too much Saturday so I managed a 0 yesterday. Back on track for the week. I have no weight loss to report. :grumble:

awww...how sweet! yes...that's good training for the other kind of baby if that's in your future tag teaming is the way to do it!

Hi Kate! So glad you had fun in TX!! Welcome back!

Day 3 with puppy went better. I put her in her kennel last night and she only whined for 5 minutes or so and then went right to sleep! It was a miracle! So, that lifted my spirits a little.

Ahh puppies Too cute!

Have you tried putting a blanket over the crate? I think it makes them feel more cozy. ANd this may sound harsh, but I have used it with both my puppies I've had and it worked....if they start whining at night in the crate I hit the top and I think it scares them a bit, but then they don't whine anymore. I only had to do it a couple times until they got the hint.

In lushy news....we were having a discussion with friends a few weeks ago about the occasional glass of wine while pregnant. (I have a lot of friends currently expecting) And one of my friends docs said 4 oz of wine a day is fine! I thought that was a little excessive. So I asked my doc yesterday his thoughts on the occasional wine, he believes its perfectly fine...as long as I can stop at one

I love the puppy pics!
Our oldest and his wife had their first baby, (which makes it our first Grand-baby!)
He was born on January 12th and weighed 6.5oz. Cute little wart!
It's my birthday today- 59. Going to celebrate by staying up late (9pm), watching a movie and try not to fall asleep. Wife and I might get a little bit frisky and go to bed without our socks on!

Thank you! Her name is Gemma and she is sure a hand full! She is good about going to the bathroom when we take her outside though, so that is wonderful! Just a few accidents in the house, nothing major. If only I could get her to stop chasing our cat that would be wonderful! I'm about to just give up trying and let them hash it out.

Congrats on your Grandbaby, Gary! And happy belated birthday! Hope you had a fabulous day!
