Arnie and Troon

Age: 9 1/2 weeks
Weight: 15.2 lbs (6.9 kg)

Day Four: I think we are all finally getting the hang of this! Troon has settled in very well. At both Vet Liz's and Breeder Jim's advice, we battled out the solo sleeping arrangements last night with good success.

Troon went to bed at 9pm, and we only took her out for one bathroom break at 2am (she was quiet before we went out though.) She woke up three times during the night; the first time, she barked for 1 1/2 hours, the second time, for about 45 minutes, and the third, only 15 minutes! I think we're getting somewhere. (Touch wood.) No doubt we will do battle again this evening, but we'll be sure to run down those batteries before she goes to bed ;)

As for house training, our girl is doing pretty well. She doesn't much like the cold or the rain, but we've had few accidents to report since Troon's arrived. Today, she gave a very clear signal toward the door to let me know she needed to head out. Well done Troony!
