Got my little Bichon Poo (Dolly) on Friday - had woken up with a few cold sweats in the last few weeks thinking about how much harder my life is gonna get.
Read loads of threads on here outlining all the hard work involved.
Talked myself through the daily grind that would be involved and made sure I was fully aware of the responsibility.
Worked hard to overcome ALL the negative comments that EVERYONE gave me about getting a puppy.
AND, I am totally overjoyed to say - it's been fantastic!
I love little Dolly - she is alseep at my feet as I write.
She knows where her bed is.
She has done loads of poo's and wee's outside already - clever girl!
She was asleep her bed when I got back from quick school runs on Friday with no mess in the kitchen.
She 'cried'a little on night one and hardly at all on night 2.
She eats and drinks well.
She is soo cute and is a delight to watch with the children - especialy DC3 age one.
HARDEST bit is watching her CONSTANTLY when she is up to catch if she looks like she is gonna wee. There have been a few puddles on the carpet etc but I am working hard get her to go outside and tell me when she needs to go.
We have a long way to go but she is so part of the family already. I am soo happy as was worried beforehand.
Am reading lots and lots to see how to move her on and train her well.
She is our little bundle of joy.
. phew - sorry for long post!
P.S. When do you think I will be able to turn my back on her for a minute and not worry about a puddle!
P.P.S. Getting out in the moring for a school run may change some of the positive above!
