Now, you might think we are weird for keeping our baby in the pen, but we are starting small and making sure she is fully potty trained (and that we are dog trained) before we let her wander the house.
Thankfully she sleeps all night long and has no accidents. I wake up a little after 6am and take her out to the potty. She likes to have a good, long walk before breakfast. I feed her when we get back home and get ready myself. I take her out once more and then she stays in her pen while I am at work. I am grateful that my job is part time and I can come home at lunch and feed her and walk her again. She then hangs outside in her pen on the concrete while I clean her bedding area.
She has dinner, then we go on another long walk and then one more potty walk right before bed. Needless to say, I am walking A LOT!! I was telling Dan last night, "the good and bad side of having a dog is that you always have to walk them- unlike a treadmill that you can put off until tomorrow (or the next day...), a dog can't wait."
The boys and I fell in love with Chloe one week ago when we saw her and spent time with her at the animal shelter, but Dan now loves our new pup too!! How can you not, she is so docile, with a sweet disposition and is so CUTE!!!
