Things you don't think about......

If you’ve never had a dog before, there are probably a lot of things you don’t even think of when it comes to having a pet. All you need to do is be sure that they get food, water, and love, right? WRONG! This is something that my wife and I, mostly my wife, are learning everyday with the new addition to our home.
When we first brought Belle home, she felt it necessary to “tinkle” in almost every room of our house. At this point, Jacki, my wife, thought it was time to take her back. I reassured her that we would have the potty thing down in less than a week and that it was just because she was in a new home (it’s a good thing Belle is a quick learner!) We haven’t trained her on the doggie door yet, so we have to get up with her in the night when it’s time to “go”. Jacki has said that she didn’t know that she was signing up for sleepless nights and frequent trips outside in freezing weather when we got Belle.
We even had to “dog proof” our house, making sure that there was NOTHING on the floors because Belle absolutely loves to eat EVERYTHING! She loves attention and if you don’t give it to her…..she is not afraid to let you know.
