a landmark

in puppy news,

holly had her first night were she DIDN'T go potty in the bathroom (where we decided to keep her, its easier maintenance than the kennel) and she went both poop and pee outside! hoorah!!  i was soo excited and so was she when she figured out that she got a treat for doing the job outside without any accidents over night. the streak was kind of lost when she has had two accidents in the house since i have been home from school. the idea though is to get her potty-trained for the night, then ideally the during the day thing will fall into place. hopefully....

the newest addition to the family

almost a week ago, my dad brought home an adorable pure-bred beagle puppy. and she is the cutest thing in the world. brown floppy ears and black spots down her back are her main features. shes a little irritating at time because she isnt house trained yet so she has to be watched like a hawk, but other than that she is so much fun to play with.

anybody got any ideas to keep an 11-week old puppy from peeing in the kennel at night? we've tried the letting her outside before she goes to bed, but it doesn't seem to work. just post a comment if you do. thanks :)
