Well we have survived the first week with Otis
. My goodness does this little guy get into mischief!!!. He has a HUGE shoe fetish. He will be nowhere in site and you take your shoes off quickly and bam they are gone. And mess, I don't know where he finds half the stuff that is strewn around the yard
.
I am amazed at how smart these dogs are. He is locked in our ensuite at night, casue there is no way he is destroying the house while we sleep. The first few nights there was no way he was going in without a fight and just convincing him to come in the house at bedtime or when we went out for a pee in the middle of the night was immpossible. I was chasing he everywhere
. I ended up getting mad at him one night at 2 in the morning and dragged him into his bed
. Since then I say "bedtime" and he is straight to the bathroom and on his blanket. When we go out at night I tell him "pee-pee" and he is out the door and doing his business. I say "bedtime" and he is straight back in the house. I honestly can't believe it
Now I have to work on the sitting, barking and piddling on the carpet
Anyway just wanted to share our first week with you guys.
