Is it Monday? Really? It is? I feel like I have been in a washing machine all weekend. I have hardly slept.

My son has been totally subversive. Today he decided to calm down a bit. It’s just everyone getting used to the changes in routine. I am trying to retrain the dog to go #2 outside and that his crate is his friend. I am also trying to find a happy medium between sleep and taking care of 2 babies.

This is some new stuff for me. I have never had a house trained dog that was mine. The only one I knew well was my grandmother’s chihuahua who was trained well before I knew what it was. I never rescued an animal before. The two dogs that I had before him were puppies when I got them and trained to be outside dogs. I have never dealt with a crate before. I know dogs, but like I said, some new experiences. That’s why I am glad I have friends like Marisa, Amy, Deb and the gang to help me out.

I have decided to keep him crate trained as it will be better for when we have guests * like annoying little children LOL * and he will have somewhere safe to go. I have also bought him a bunch of cool stuff that I should be getting in the mail soon. Want to see? If not you don’t have to….

Still to get:
* dental bones
* rope toy (bidding on one)
* other toys

That’s pretty much it, unless I want to get him a fluffy blanket from Cowtown. He fell in love with my son’s and I think the sheet is not enough cushion for him. I will probably invest in one soon.
