You know?

First of all, no offense taken. I didn't get these puppies when I was all alone in my house with no one with me. My now exboyfriend and I bought the house together, and our schedules were different enough that the puppies were only alone for a couple hours at a time a couple times a day. Unfortunately, I wound up in a situation where I was all alone in the house, and there was nothing I could do about that. I have a roommate moving in now that has a schedule completely opposite from mine, which I really think will help.

But anyways, Ren.....

Kaylie is getting much, much better. I think she was having separation anxiety from when Tom left, because she's settled back into a pretty normal routine. They still have accidents (just urine now), but once my roomie, Ryan, moves in, I have a feeling that will resolve itself as well.


My only concern is that now that their natural inhibition towards urinating where they sleep is diminished, it will take a lot more work to get them completely house broken. My vet said it was a good sign, however, that they go poo the minute I let them out rather than doing it in their cages now.

I have a feeling things are looking up now.
