> She is learning to sit quietly on my lap while I'm puttering at my computer.
Not me, I love puppy pictures... Lacy, our newest member is now 6 months old, she was SO HARD To Potty Train, oh my goodness... I could not believe it, her half brother was so easy.....Shorty, is 18 months old and really does NO WRONG, then we got Lacy, She is a handful... but, I think I finally have her 98% housetrained, Actually Dan did it, cause He can tell when she has to go, better then I do... She does this little dance, back and forth, and now, I can hear it and tell.... One thing I have learned over the years, is, some dogs, not all, but some dogs, Pee to GO OUT... They get confused and think that if I pee, then they let me out... I have had 3 dogs over the years like that... with them, I put them in the crate when they PEE in the house, then after a few minutes, of them sitting there being quiet, I let them outside... Lacy was one of them, so, at about 3 or 4 months, I tried that with her... Little ones like yours, well, ya just go out a lot, I also say, "Better go now!" because this then becomes a Pee Command later on..... How about the name Rain, what a little doll she is... -- I and my horses love our track system, take a look~~~ http://picasaweb.google.com/dakota.charm/TrackForHorses
