Okay, so having a new puppy is a lot of work… a lot! For some odd reason, I forgot how much work it was having Olive when she was 12 weeks old. Beezus came to us as an 8 week old puppy. Let me tell you, a month makes a huge difference!

So, I find myself driving home at lunch every day to take the puppy out for a poop.  It’s not so bad but it has become more difficult, especially when Beezus refuses to poop when I take her out.  Wednesdays are the hardest for me though because I have a management meeting at 1:30.  I have currently recruited my sister to stop by and we’ll see how long that can last.  Today, Beezus decided not to poop for my sister and I was dreading the present I would find in her crate when I got home from work this evening.  To my relief and surprise, the crate was clean.

Anyway, our late night potty breaks will soon taper off but it’s a bit of a challenge at the moment.  The accidents will be fewer and fewer and her training will begin on the basics.  Beezus is well on the way to becoming just as good as her big sister Olive.  More updates will follow along with some photos (if I can get her to settle long enough to take one).

One important thing to remember – New Puppy = a whole lot of work!
