Yessss!!!! Mishka slept in her crate aka condo without whining or crying all throughout the night which means we slept all throughout the night. She loves going in there and just plops herself down when she needs her quiet time. When I go to bed, she gets in there and falls asleep and when Patrick comes home, he shuts the door. Routine and consistency!!

Now… To figure out her tiny peeing and pooping! We take her out first thing in the morning and after she eats but even after she’s gone outside she still does it right afterwards inside. Also, we all 3 are really only home in the morning or evening. She is with either one of us during the day, sleeping and lots of potty breaks during the day.

We’ve got pee pads at home while she’s learning or shall I say WE are learning and are figuring out the places that she repeatedly goes to set these pee pads.

She has tiny little baby teeth and is biting EVERYTHING! When she bites or chews on something she shouldn’t we stop her and put a chew toy in front of her. She’ll chew on that and then go right back to chewing my toes or my ear or my hair. This morning I twisted a wet wash cloth and put it in the freezer. This will help her with her teething when she chews on this.

Last night I puppy proofed as much as I could.. electrical cords hidden and out of the way, shoes up, etc.

I know this is a phase and takes lots of patience!! Just her sleeping through the night was a huge win!! I hope that happens tonight and tomorrow and on and on… 😆🙏🏽❤️

Any puppy advice, please share!

I sure do miss writing on my Tumblr. It’s like a secret room that not too many know about where I can share my thoughts that I might not want all to known.

My Daddy and Grandpa. Thank you for your service! This may have even been at the same time as both of their service in the Navy in Turkey, brought my parents together 💞
