GARAAGGGRRRRAAA....

Haha... the puppy is, well... annoying... cute and annoying.

Sleeping has gotten much better and more regular, basic commands are more than great considering Sable's age, and you'd think we never fed her based on her ravenous appetite. She must be growing! Soon enough she'll be in her awkward "teen" years... guess we need to treasure the puppiness for as long as it lasts.

Working from home to help ease Sable into kenneling has been interesting... I think she believes I'm there to entertain her 24-7 so when it's time for the kennel she decides she needs to play a little longer. The goal has been as she gets tired she goes to the kennel to sleep... in theory this happens approximately three times a day for an hour at a time. However, more recently she's decided that even though she can't keep her eyes open she's not actually tired... not sure how her reasoning works, but it becomes both hilarious and annoying to deal with.

Her new found increasing appetite seems to be helping with her obedience training... a hungry hungry puppy will do anything for a treat. Sable is getting much better at "come" which is funny because if she thinks she hears a crinkle of a bag containing treats (kernels of dog food) she "comes" at lightening speed... it's kinda like clicker training with ziplocks, who knew!

Anyway, I will keep the updates coming... but for now it's time to let the puppy out after a nice little kennel nap.




P.S. The post title is thanks to Jeff... it sounded appropriate for the current mood :-)
