Thanks for spotting the mouse

Today was another perfect day to stay in with that nasty misty rain. It was so cold out too. Our driveway is finished, finally. Getting a new concrete driveway sure is a long drawn out process with many layers. We can’t park on it until mid November. Piper was up 3 times last night so I hope tonight is better. I read today that if you pet your older dog and then pet your new dog with the same hand and repeat that process a few times you are transferring pheromones and that helps the dogs accept each other better. I tried it before bed and going to do on repeat because I did sense a difference in Penny after doing it. She probably thought I was crazy because I was saying nice after each pet.🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Your post made me feel better because Penny “mops” the floor with Piper as well. She pushes her right along😬😬😬. Heather picked her up a little while ago so she could go play with the boys and get a break. I’ve been paying a lot of extra attention to her hoping she doesn’t feel left out. Hopefully she comes around soon. Piper slept from 9:30 last night until 5 this morning so that was nice. She’s doing pretty good with potty training too. Wrong time of year to get a puppy though. I’ve tried again to take her outside but she shivers so much. She understands the pad and runs over to it frequently to use it. It’s set up next to her crate where she will continue to sleep until she is fully potty trained and until Penny has a better tolerance of her. I fear if I let Piper sleep in the bed Penny will loose her shit🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. How are you feeling after your surgery?

That’s the kind of day I had today minus the fire, I was worried Piper would go up on the hearth and burn herself on the door. Penny is not happy with Piper being here. She is very jealous to the point of snatching toys right out of Piper’s mouth. If Piper walks over to me she will get in between us. She is obsessed with me which is one of the reasons we wanted to get another dog but now I’m second guessing my decision. She has gotten a little better in the week that we’ve had Piper. Piper annoys her a lot so she growls at her at pushes her with her nose. They both mouth each other and although it makes me nervous I believe it’s normal…I’m not sure though. The sleeping is iffy. Sometimes she only gets up once other times 3. Jill told us to let her cry. When I hear her I get up and put her on the puppy pad, she does her business and then I put her back in the crate and I go back to bed. She cry's for a few minutes and then she goes to sleep. She seems to understand the whole puppy pad thing and runs over to it and uses it. She’s had few accidents. I’ve tried bringing her outside but I think she’s to small because she shivers and whimpers. She’s only 2 pounds. I will wait until she i

I guess we will find out soon enough with the pups. We bring her home on Tuesday. Larry has the week off so that will be helpful as we adjust to having two. Penny is a very good dog. She’s very routine oriented and that makes everything easy. I am reminding myself that anything that seems overwhelming is temporary and next year at this time we will be settled in living our best 2 dog life with the pups running the show!! Yes, our driveway is concrete…that’s why it’s so much more expensive…ugh. We thought about changing to asphalt but that would need a lot more maintenance throughout the years and also not match our sidewalk that runs in the front and down one side to the back of our house. Being in our late 50’s and early 60’s we shouldn’t have to do anything more with the driveway so it’s money well spent in the long run. I remember when Sherry’s son died…you were all at the cape if I remember correctly and someone drove her home. I’m sure you and Claudia will have a nice relaxing time. I saw the news this morning about the weather…yikes!! Stay safe and enjoy your week away !!

I’ve heard to not get 2 girls, or two boys. Heather has 2 boys and no issues. We wanted another girl but had no choice because the litter consisted of 7 girls. We’ve had dogs and cats together but never 2 dogs…wish us luck🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. You’ve been going to the cape for a long time. I remember way back that you would go with Sherry. Sounds like you and Claudia will have a great time. How long are you there for?  How are you feeling? Larry got a call from the guy doing our driveway today telling him that they are not pouring until next Thursday 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. We’ve been without a driveway for a week and we have another week to go and then a month after it’s poured. Six weeks without a driveway is a long time. He did say that after 2 weeks I can drive across and park in the garage but Larry has to park in the street.winter is coming so we want to get this done. My neighbor is letting  me park in her driveway so that helps, she’s across the street
