Baby on board
Chad brought Chloe home yesterday. I was so excited to get home and play with her. It was a very hard first day. Chloe is barely 6 weeks old. Just old enought to come home but still looking for mommies teet. Shadow is unhappy and agitated and has snapped at her about half a dozen times now. I couldn't wait for Chad to come home from work cause I was overwhelmed. I didn't relax until he came home. I don't like the whole getting-into-everything bit and I know it will pass and it's all new to her but I get agitated easily plus I'm having to keep a close eye on Shadow to correct her the instant she nips and Chloe. We put her in a box while we went to bed and she cried for pretty much the entire night. And not just any crying. Moaning and wailing as though she was being slaughtered alive. it was hard to take. I woke up and took her outside first thing and got her to pee in the grass. I did it 5 times today. Chad and I went to lunch and we left her out instead of putting her in the box. I was bit afraid of how we might find them when we got home but she was exactly where we left her. Then later I saw her go thru the doggie door by herself. That was crazy!! She's so tiny and her legs are probably 1" long so the base of the dog door is right at her eye level. She did it though. I had to coach her back in but she figured it out on her own so I am ecstatic. So now we need to potty train her. I think I did okay by myself today. But I don't know the first thing about anything puppy so this will be an experience. But it will be nice to have both of us here tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting some sleep tonight. At least I know what to expect and I also have ear plugs!
