Oh I love you ladies - I get so despondent some days as toilet training is still hit and miss, although getting better. But it's just that loads of people keep telling me it only took 2 weeks to toilet train their puppy and I now feel there is something wrong with Daisy.
Also, so, this is funny, I was on a call to a family member this morning, who was bereaved this week, so a sensitive call. Daisy had already weed just earlier, and had done a poo in garden for Dh at 7. So I relaxed into the call. Daisy barked but I ignored and then she came and sat under the table - I was suspicious of a poo attempt so I tried to get her to follow me outside, while not saying anything to her as I was listening to family member's very sad story - anyway, Daisy ignored me, pooed under table and then tried to eat her poo
. SO I had to take her out from under the table and I only had kitchen roll beside me to grab the poo before she ran back in. Then I caught sight of her with a small piece of poo (this is a horrid tale isn't it 
) and I had to grab it off her with my hand . Lucky that I am so Covid obsessed and there is a huge bottle of soap on my kitchen window, so I spent 10 minutes scrubbing my hands.
Also, due to Daisy having nasal issues (Shih Tzu) and the Vet assuming she had an infection, she still has not had her vaccinations so we are STILL housebound - between that and our semi-lockdown here (Dublin), I am feeling the strain. However, she is settling into the family wonderfully and is a really adorable dog with a beautiful temperament (except for her mad zombie times, which we have all learned to control with lots of chew toys).
I really want to thank you all for keeping me sane - and I hope we spend many more weeks and months chatting about our lovely puppies together.
