I think Erik is going to make an excellent puppy dad.<BR/><BR/>:)Missuz Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02185674492467062254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11882938.post-1122163879969551472005-07-23T17:11:00.000-07:002005-07-23T17:11:00.000-07:00I know nothing about puppies except they are cute....I know nothing about puppies except they are cute.

It's like their own room and they love it. I tried for months to convince Husband to try it but he feels like it's a cage and didn't want to isolate the girls. So we have two dogs and at least 1 cat in bed with us every night. Which as you can imagine can be irritating. And once a year or so we come home to an accident. It took a few months to housebreak but I promise you'll get there. And throwing them outside when it gets overwhelming is absolutely great advice. You can do that with baby's too right? LOL. You'll be a great puppy mom!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419701805267676774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11882938.post-1122080684676439152005-07-22T18:04:00.000-07:002005-07-22T18:04:00.000-07:00Oh My God.

Dude. <BR/><BR/>I hope you're going into this realizing that you're totally going to have to train this dog yourself. Save yourself the stress and resign to this fact right now. You and Erik and Goldencollie will all get along much better than way.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck is all I can really say. And, I hope Erik realizes how much this shows you love him.amandakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680746839029300448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11882938.post-1122063257631238652005-07-22T13:14:00.000-07:002005-07-22T13:14:00.000-07:00Girl, you have got to stop how to raise things boo...Girl, you have got to stop how to raise things books. Remember the toal panic and paranoia you had with Sophie? What if she has 18 fingers, what if she's blind, what if she has two heads. Same thing. Puppies have been surviving for years now. It'll be ok and you have a beautiful backyard that is totally gated off. If it gets crazy, put him out there. All will be well, deep cleansing breaths. Find your happy place. There ya go.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999205269519295825noreply@blogger.com
