Apparently the PUP-DATES page has sparked a little friendly competition between puppy families. After reading how well POTTER is doing with his "potty-training," Jeter's Mom Joan wrote: "Well, if we're going to BRAG ... Jeter is doing very well TOO!" (She confesses the only time he has an accident is when he's VERY distracted by a visit from their granddaughter.)
Shorttly thereafter I got a phone message from Rose Girl (Dottie's) Mom saying SHE too is doing SO well with potty training ... and she's sleeping through the night ... and she plays SO well with their daughters, and she's just a wonderful addition to the family. "We just LOVE her!"
Gold GIrl's Mom, Nancy also e-mailed recently that despite "Starbuck" being a little too "mouthy" (they're working on that!), she's doing very well too. She even scratches at the sliding door when she wants to go outside to go potty! Kylie can hardly wait until Starbuck is old enough to come with them on their walk to school every morning! Starbuck will be starting Puppy Kindergarten next week.
Navy Boy ("Rocket")... well, what can I say. Apparently he's part MONKEY. Barbara reports that he's CLIMBING OVER their newly-installed puppy gates. <sigh> OK, Rocket, you cut that out ... don't make Grandma Lesley & Grandma Kathe come up there and "SHAKER CAN" you!!
