Missing my Letty Girl. She's such a funny little elf and makes me laugh, plus I love looking at her cute face, beautiful spots, and wonderful gait. She's just so asthetically pleasing to my eye and I catch mayself smiling when I watch her. That's Letty and her neice Meribel sleeping on Jess's couch.
Sparkle seems to be well settled in here and acts quite at home. Not sure Watson & Argus are very happy about it, as she is quite the pest, but they're putting up with it, especially Argus who is endlessly patient. When Letty comes home it will be a madhouse around here, but they will have each other to harrass and the big dogs will get a break!
Am a bit concerned about what will happen to the yard if I let them have the run of it. The grass stood up well to Letty, but not sure that a muddy yard can survive two of them. Last weekend's snow will soon be gone, and the yard will be wet and vulnerable, but colder weather can't be too far behind!
House-training is going well and Sparkle seems to have caught on to the idea of going in the yard rather than on the deck, and we are gradually getting her used to doing her business in the dog pen rather than in the yard. She's adjusted well to our raw diet, as pups always do, and after my bad-things-happen-when-you-yell-in-your-crate demo last night, she slept through the night without a fuss. We did a bit of stacking after she explored the basement, and this evening I hope to take her for a short car ride - and convince her that shouting is NOT acceptable their either. Maybe a lead walk around the block too, if there is any daylight left when I get home from work. She's got a lot to catch up on before she starts her Puppy Class in 10 days!
