Pattie Cake Update

Here's what's been going on in the first week since I got Pattie.
1. Decided on a name: Pattie, like a York Peppermint Pattie
2. Moved her crate to my room Saturday night...now she quietly whimpers for about 10 seconds, then goes to sleep. It was howling for 30 minutes before settling down!
3. Is sleeping in 4-5 hour spans. So, we go to bed around 11:00, she cries out around 3:30 or 4 to go out. It used to be every hour or every 1 1/2 hours!
4. Has learned to whimper by the door when she needs to potty...hasn't had an accident in the house since Saturday when she was excited because the other dogs and new people were here. I'm sure this has quick potential to change!
5. Loves to play with her toys.
6. Potties almost on command when we go outside.
7. Loves to snuggle and sleep in my lap.
8. Learning to use the leash.
9. She went on her first "walk" around the block today. There was a little bit of resistance when she heard other dogs barking!
10. Loves to sleep in the sunshine coming in from the sliding glass door or the windows.
11. Learning to sit; and learning the words come, potty, and off.
12. Oh my goodness...just ran full force into the sliding glass door!!!
13. Had her first play date.
14. "Watched" her first Carolina basketball game! Train them young!

That's my Pattie in one week...she's coming along! I'm sure there will be more adventures and possible setbacks to come. Here's hoping to continued quick learning!
