2 & half weeks

we have had her now almost 3 weeks... my how she has grown.. she is responding to treats.. will come if you get her attention.  Her & Apollo have had a good day.. he tried to play again with her.. but she wants him as her personal chew toy! He is correcting & being very patient.. most important today she is responding to his warnings. I also have been yelling OW! when she bites my hands & she is responding to that as well... She has played hard today so far.. glad she is napping!

going into her 9th week

Well Dakota has grown so much in 2 weeks! Her nose is a tracking machine, her eyesight is still having tracking issues.. but that is expected. Going up the stairs is really easy now.. but going down is still the scary propositon. Potty training is coming along too.. peddling still happens.. but most of the time she tells us when she needs to poo.

she has started stocking her toys, she will make eye contact on a toy & slowly creep up on it & then bounce! cracks us up. Bri bought her a new football this week.. she loves it.

 Al & I want to get the fencing up, right now she still follows us, but she is developing a mind of her own ... she loves to follow us.. we need to make sure she continues that. I am doing some training, sitting, leave & come are the focus for now.

We didn't get our training session in last Saturday due to snow.. but it might be better for her.. another week older. I really want her (us) to pass the good citizen cert from the AKC... we need to trust her & vise versa.

Apollo is starting to except her more & more, he is laying on the floor & putting up with her play (chewing really )  He gave her a good warning a couple days ago, since then a little growl goes a long way with her.. she backs away now & is learning respect. He doesn't like her to cry & will come to her aid.. they really are making friends.. this is good.

Onto another day...
