With Molly I didn't have that but she was used to sleeping in a crate by herself so she never kept me awake and she's so smart she learned very quickly. Everyone marvels how I talk to her as I would talk to a person ... and how she listens and responds right away. <BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-73919338209909758832009-02-09T14:43:00.000-08:002009-02-09T14:43:00.000-08:00I knew I had missed a post on Dakota over the week...I knew I had missed a post on Dakota over the weekend and kept scrolling down the blogs I follow until I found it. He is picking up the rules really fast. Puppies always tinkle more often and especially when excited. He seems to be learning about the newspaper and going outside so soon, he'll stop having accidents.<BR/>Hes so cute.<BR/>Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-67222242919438721442009-02-07T09:49:00.000-08:002009-02-07T09:49:00.000-08:00Mary-Dakota is adorable!!

I think it's great that you got him-I know you all still miss Meeko terribly but a new puppy is always great.<BR/><BR/>Neat that Brandon gets to choose his classes. I think that's how it should be-give the students a chance to excel at what they are interested in. Unfortunately here-our schools don't offer many choices-as they have so many mandatory courses-including gym.Tipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714281090985487356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-65973691382986481482009-02-07T08:39:00.000-08:002009-02-07T08:39:00.000-08:00How can we ever get sick of hearing about that dar...How can we ever get sick of hearing about that darling little pup of yours...NEVER!! hehe He's just so precious, dear Mary, and I'm so hoping I get to hold him this summer:-) Sounds like he's coming along nicely with the commands and rules. Don't you wish he could stay small like that?? lol<BR/><BR/>Good for Brandon for choosing such good courses to take in High School.
