    Default So much fun with the new puppy!

    I know it's a TON of work, and some lost hours in there. But for me, I'm having fun training her non-stop, even if not thrilled with the loss of some sleep. And I spent only like $800 on her since getting back home! A harness in addition to the harness she came home with. It appears this one she came home with should last her awhile though. I have 2 beautiful crates for her and her training. One is upstairs and one downstairs. She does already see them as home, and that's awesome to see so quickly! Or maybe she goes in there for the new bedding I got for her, some memory foam crate bottom for her.

    And then of course a billion things for her to chew on, instead of my belongings and furniture. But she only gets maximum of 2 at a time, so as not to confuse her, or spoil her I suppose. And some regular treats, and also the tiny training treats for the positive reinforcement. Don't wanna give her a ton of regular treats and make her fat! And she's only getting foods and/or treats that are healthy and good for huskies.

    And about 1300 drawstring poopie bags!! Laugh if you will, but it's bad enough my hands or fingers need to know that poop is on the OTHER side of the bag, and warm. So it gets special treatment and a drawstring to ENSURE it's closed. And then I run like hell for the nearest garbage can!!

    She's in for a treat tomorrow, as a "Nor 'easter" is coming to the east coast again, we'll be back in Alaska for a short time! LOL

    Supposed to get anywhere from 5 -16 inches, depending on reports and which way the wind blows tomorrow. So long as there is snow, she ought to be happy!

    Well, I'm hoping to give her the best, the best in care and things that may enter her belly. But train her appropriately, and don't give her 54 bones at once, no pizza...

    I hope that dog's got a degree in psychology. It's going to need it.

    Yups, anyone wanting to successfully live with me, and understand my way of always blabbing and what not, very well may need one!

    And with the non-stop training of this one, and seeing how smart she is, it appears I may need some sort of masters degree in dog training! She's smart as a whip, which is a great thing... but the bad thing is, she's smart as a whip!!

    So she has 2 crates, and WILL be trained for both, and has already showed amazing progress. But the upstairs, she kinda prefers closest to me. I have the crate in the bathroom. I don't shut the door, but I have a gate like a foot or so into the bedroom so that she can see me at least. She was in there with her bone, but then started whining after about 5 minutes or so. Another 5 minutes or so and she was quiet. So the crate didn't keep her in there, but she sure does like that marble strip that goes across the entrance. Probably because it holds the most cold.

    Luckily for her, you keep temps arctic-level in the summer.
