A Member of the Family

Well, we finally picked up Josie on Sunday. She is so fun and so adorable. She sleeps through the night so far with no problem, then wakes up around 5am because she has to pee really bad. But it is going really well and we are having a good time getting to know her and training her.

She had her 1st vet appointment today. She weighs in at 3.12lbs. She wasn't due for more shots yet, so we have to wait for her next appointment. The vet said she was in excellent health though, no issues.

We have a baby-gate to keep her in the kitchen, and then have her crate in the kitchen as well. But when we are just around the house we let her follow us around. Not to many potty acidents, just a couple ones, which oddly happen right after we let her out. We leave her just behind the gate when we go away during the day, and that seems to work perfect. We leave the door open to the crate and whenever we come home she is usually just laying in there. She brings in all her toys into her crate, its so cute. Alec comes home at lunch and lets her out and plays with her for about an hour, and then she is ready for another nap. Then I come home a few hours later, works out really well. After a little while I plan on taking her with me when I go babysitting, but they have Bradi who is a little wild and Josie should have more rounds of her shots before exposure to other dogs.
