four



I wish it was summer time again.  We both are getting used to the new routine with me working. It is pretty hard adjusting.  I am exhausted and he wants to play and is all wound up! 


I mean who can resist playing with that face and those toys?!

But all in all it is going well.  He sleeps through the night and I have to wake him up in the mornings when I get up.  [There is something wrong with that picture]  Potty training is good.  He had a few slip ups this week [new adjustment] and I have now only given him one spot to go potty on versus my whole apartment complex.  It seems to work because now we go outside and get our business done whereas we used to sniff and sniff until we found the perfect spot.  

He is even doing better in the crate while I am home.  Still some whining but I am not caving and it gets less and less each time.  I am starting to learn his signals for when he needs a break and then we work on going to the crate instead of behind the couch! ha 

He makes me want to leave work and that is so good because I used to stay forever and still not feel like I got anything done. Now I am productive and I get to go home to my sweet little man.


Here is a little blooper shot of the photo of the day. This says let me jump and attack that flash! 

Happy Tuesday

Love,
A & Finn

one proud pup momma

I had work today for the first time since having little man.  

I was so stressed out about leaving him.

My lovely sisters are taking him out about halfway through my workday.  So that is wonderful.  

I expected to come home to an angry pup with a mess in the crate! Instead I got some kisses as we ran outside to do our business.  


Later after his afternoon snack and play time.  Finn just ran to the door and sat down.  I put his leash on and we went outside again and sure enough he is starting to learn how to tell me he has to go!! 

I was so thrilled I just had to share.
