5 Months today!

Well almost!  Betty turned 5 months on the 9th Jan and she’s bloody huge!

Betty and Mr Goosey the day we got her:

Getting Bigger

Betty is longer a little baby, she’s now 15 weeks……..I’m guessing she’s going to end up quite big

Betty Update

Betty is getting bigger, she’s now 10 weeks maybe 11? Tomorrow she is getting her second round of jabs and microchipped, poor love. But she has adopted Geek Daughter’s trampoline (well stolen it!) and she thinks it’s the best place to eat her carrots.

Sleeping Puppies

SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!! YES!

Fingers crossed for tonight.  The secret it turns out is to give the puppy a piece of clothing from her favourite human, which in my dog’s case is geek husbands!  For anyone who knows my husband will find that hilarious

Puppy Crying all night..

As much as I love our new family addition, I’m not sure what to do about her crying all night. I know I’m a complete wuss but I couldn’t bear to leave her when she’d been crying for an hour, so I went and comforted her and then put her back in her bed in the kitchen. She was asleep for about 30 minutes and then it started all over!! But her bed is going to stay in the kitchen so I don’t really want to confuse her by taking her up to our bedroom and getting into bad habits. It’s bad enough we ended up with our daughter in there every night, let alone the dog as well! Any advice welcome from fellow dog owners.

But Betty is very cute and so good in the day when she’s not attacking cables!

One of these days I’m going to get some time to do some work for the new business!

****UPDATE**** I gave her one of my husband’s old T-shirts, got her a large box (Dell of course!) and she has slept through the night ever since…in the kitchen

Betty Rocks!

We picked Betty our new black lab puppy earlier today and she is so good.  She already sits and does as she’s told, better than our 4 year old daughter actually :)   Here’s a picture of Betty with her new friend Duck

1 Week to go..

We are on Betty countdown, only 1 week to go before we pick up our new puppy.  Lucky for us her breeder has a webcam, so we have been stalking her non stop since we chose her.  Geek husband at one point thought about writing a script to pull all the webcam pictures of her…….seriously he would have taken out his hard drive!

But here is the cute Betty picture of the day
