We have had Zoe for just over a week now, and things are starting to settle down a bit. Zoe sleeps through the night without whining to go out every 1-2 hours (seriously, it was really bad!) and the girls are getting more comfortable playing with her. AND, potty training is going pretty well. We are somewhat paranoid of having to clean up a mess on our carpet, so we take her out frequently, and that helps a lot! If only Zoe knew the difference between her toys and the girls toys. I had to pull one of the girls socks from her throat the other day. That got my heart racing! I think she was playing with it, but had inhaled it. You could tell she was losing air because she gasped a bit after I pulled it out. Yeah, I pretty much saved her life! Just jokin'!
We bought a HUGE crate for Zoe to sleep in. We were told that you want to put a box in the back of the crate when they are small puppies because if they have too much room, they may "relieve" themselves in there and then it is not such a pleasant place to stay. So, we did, thinking that she would lay on the pad in front of the box. But our little Zoe had other plans. She sleeps on top of the box as if it is her throne.
Sam is actually disciplining Zoe here, but it looks like they are shaking hands, as if they are best of friends!
Look! The 2 people that dislike the dog the most, are playing with her. And I think that Jocelyn may even be smiling!

Carrie, I confess that as I have read your last few posts I have been SO GRATEFUL that it is you and not me dealing with a puppy. I'm really not a huge pet person (despite our two annoying cats we own) and the idea of adding another "baby" to my mix gives me anxiety. I hope your sweet Dane settles down soon. Just think, in a few years your kids can ride her to school!
