We have had Xena almost two months now. I must be honest and say that Gustavo does most of the Puppy duty. When we first got her... He was the one waking up in the middle of the night and waiting for her to 'tinkle' as she was not able to make it thru the night. Being that he usually sleeps hard, it is amazing that he could hear her pawing her carry cage/house.
Wasn't she so cute???
Every morning when I get home, I let her out and rub her down. I give her lots of love. She won't have it any other way. She follows me thru the house and if I am in the bed she stands there looking at me.
In a way- I think that having a puppy is harder than having a baby. She demands a lot of attention and costs a lot of money. With her... You must be very attentive because she does not cry, whine or whimper. She does BARK however... Unlike a baby- She does not wear a diaper so you dive right into potty training. Most children do not chew on shoes or furniture as she does. Xena is also a bully. (She is a BULLDOG) She is ruff and tuff with DJ and Mimi. Most of the time I think that she already comes out on top.
They were both laying head to head... But when I got up to get the phone... Change
She loves her too much!
Our house is still hectic and I am hoping that after all these episodes of "Dog Whisperer" and YOU TUBE videos that I will be able to educate the kids, The Nanny, Gustavo and myself on how to tame the beast.
