The Great Escape

Today Marilyn, our Siamese mix, decided to make a break for it. I guess all the barking and training and fluffy dog nonsense has just gotten to be too much for her. For the most part, it has seemed that the cats were adjusting relatively well to Ayla. They have never...

Happy Hump Day

So it's Wednesday once again which is always a good sign cause it's all down hill from here. The week I mean...and in a good way. Thursday and Friday generally pass so quickly that I already start feeling relieved on Thursday. Since the weather is so nice today, we've...

A mostly quiet Sunday at home

Today was a pretty uneventful day. Since it's pretty cold here (not for Newfie standards of course), we played inside a lot and tried to distract her during her crazy nipping periods (not quite a FRAP) with some obedience training (Sit, Come, Down...). She has picked...

Our first walk with Ayla

Today was a very exciting day for us. We had to do some grocery shopping and wanted to buy the material for the new patio today so we decided the easiest way to accomplish the task was to take Ayla along with us and one person would stay in the car with her while the...

Friday night antics

Friday night antics

It seems Ayla is starting to learn her toys very well now...Thankfully my husband brought some new items home with him today that will hopefully amuse her. She has a red kong shaped like a bone which you can stuff small treats into. The first few days she would nose...

Lazy afternoon with Ayla

It's been a good afternoon but I really can't let me eyes off her for a second. She was just waking up when a good friend called and while I was on the phone with her, Ayla had too accidents in the house in the span of 10 minutes, despite having just been outside....

Woohoo it’s Friday!!

Woohoo it’s Friday!!

Well it looks like we'll manage to survive our first work week at home and we're hitting the 9 weeks old mark. Hopefully this will make training a little easier on everyone and perhaps we can retain a few more things as well, although I won't really have my hopes up...

Ayla is back to normal

Whatever her problem was yesterday, she is thankfully back to "normal" today. I'm hoping the crazy, hyper, nutso, jumping dog behavior is not something we'll have to deal with every day but I guess we'll soon see. We tried a new system this morning. When the hubby...

Been a rough day with the new puppy

Well it was a pretty bad day for me today. Ayla has been sleeping through the night since her first full day here but it still seems that no matter how much I sleep at night (all 6 1/2 hours), I'm just not very rested in the morning. So I woke up today feeling pretty...
