Took me two years, but

I finally got another puppy for company for Josie and me of course. I try and remember all the good times, not the dreadful endings however they occur. Enjoy Mya & Josie (and her frog friend)

I can only see Francis asking you "what took you so long!?"

Looks like Josie will teach Mya well.

By the looks of Mya, you may have your hands full for the first two or three years

And remember, in life, every end has a beginning, we just don't see it.

We just got another puppy 5 months ago after being without one for about 15 years, we are both retired for a few years now and the wife wanted one. what a great comfort they are, he is only 8 moths old now and pretty much trained.

Who would want a puppy that sprung a leak and lost part of its stuffing?? ;-)

You should go see the movie "Marley and Me"!
We love puppies and dogs.

Just an idea if it hasn't crossed your mind.

Buy a crate if you already don't have one.

"Crate training" is mandatory in our house, even for older dogs who may not be used to a crate (which is a whole other topic).

For a pup, it's a wonderful tool to help to house train if the dog resides in the house with the family. Dogs do not like to urinate or defecate in their "den", however, a pup being a pup will still need to be taken out (even perhaps EARLY in the morning) on a regular basis to go outside. It also helps to cut down on "unwanted behavior" if the family isn't home and the pup is still in the house.

Keep in mind, you need to associate the crate with a positive experience and not use it for punishment.

I'm afraid it won't live up to the book

While in Asheville last weekend, picked up the book "Amazing Gracie: A dogs tale", a great read as well (never even heard of Three Dog bakery until in Ashville, and the book is about a blind great dane who helped start the business).

I remember those days but with a bigger dog. Eventually, the cute stuffed dog bed made way to a wood box and some old sheets & blankets.

They grow out of it eventually.
