She woke me up twice during the night for bathroom, once at 4 AM and again at 6:45. Luckily she went quickly both times and settled quickly. The second time was close to 7 AM so I made her breakfast and stayed up long enough for her to eat, took her out again so she could poop, and then went back in. She settled quickly without much crying and let me sleep until close to 10 AM.
No accidents today. She slept a good portion of the day, interspersed with many potty breaks and a couple short play sessions. Took her out again at 4:30, then went to class. A friend came over at 7 to take her out, and she went easily. Got back home at 9:45 PM, let her out, and then fed her and played for about an hour. THEN I got to eat dinner.
She's picked up sit like a pro and already has it on voice command. She's about 1 in 4 for down. Started on 'leave it' today, too, but it's too early to tell progress.
She's started to get a bit mouthy, but 'yelping' and giving her a toy to chew instead gets the point across. She has a bad habit of trying to jump up and bite hair, so that's gonna need to stop ASAP!
She likes to be with me - right now she's sleeping on my foot. If I sit on the floor during playtime she wants to be in my lap. It's very, very cute, but I'm gonna try to encourage a little more independence. She also won't eat unless she's near me. I'm hoping this will change as she gets older and more confident, as I'm sort of at a loss on what to do otherwise.
She barfed once today, but it was seconds after eating and just lumpy kibble so I think she just wolfed down some food too fast. Still, gonna keep an eye on her and make sure she's not coming down with something.
Otherwise, I'm pretty tired but she's been a super good puppy, all considered. The kitties are accepting her more and even sniffed noses, and they'll walk past her and let her walk past them without fussing. She tried to pounce Sylvester's tail and got hissed at, though. :P
