Sleeeeeeeeppppppp....

After the first two nights I began dreading the all night bathroom breaks and was only hoping for a dog that would one day sleep throughout the ENTIRE night. Last night Sable slept for 5 hrs straight... pretty much the largest chunk of time I have been allowed for sleep since Sable came home. The future is looking brighter!


We've had a few visitors over the weekend all of which fell in love with little Sable... she's so cuddly, adorable, and sweet with everyone we meet. Don't let the act fool you, she a little piranha in the morning... we're slowly working on the biting thing. She's learned that "fetch" can be a fun game, but "bring it here" is a little harder rule to follow. We've been working on "sit", "lay down", "come", and "stay" and while it seems like she understands some of those commands on a regular basis... I'm pretty sure she's just in it for the food without knowledge of the words.

Today was her first visit to the vet, just a regular check-up/meet and greet. The ladies at the vet's office loved her to death and were threatening to steal her away as she nuzzled into their necks for a quick nap while we waited for our appointment. We were told Sable was in great health and the vet was very happy to see that our breeder was so on top of their puppies health prior to their final release.

With great health, a good start on training, and moderate sleeping patterns I'd say Sable is doing well. We're hoping to rid her of some of her bad habits, but mostly just hoping she doesn't start progressing backwards in the scheme of things.

Whatever happens... who couldn't love that face! :-)
