What's up? Happy Friday. It's April 8th, 2022. I'm Lisa Page. This is the Lisa Page made me do it podcast.

I can't believe it's Friday already. I feel like these weeks are all kind of like mashing together.

Ivy's doing great. Actually we have had a

trainer here all week long. Today's her last day of training and her little

like graduation certificate is on the counter. It's so cute.

So Stephanie's finishing up with Ivy. I figured I'd jump on and do a quick episode

to catch you up to date with everything. First of all, yes, getting back to Ivy, she's amazing. She's so great. I feel a little bit more relaxed about everything. We've had her for almost four weeks now. It'll be four weeks on

Monday. In the first week just had me straight up in a panic, anxiety through the roof.

I was just a royal BITC H to everybody constantly on edge

stressing you know every time I turned around Ivy wasn't there and she was somewhere else pain.

But now I feel like, you know, as she's getting a little bit older,

she's able to control her bladder a little bit more.

So knock on wood.

We haven't had any accidents in the house for the last like three or

four days. Yeah, she's been really great about going when we take her out.

And also I think that I definitely feel like she's caught on a lot quicker having a big sister around.

So that's been good. This is really the first week that I've been able to relax a little bit. You know, now I can finally, you know, drop the kids off at school, come home, have a cup of coffee, get on my laptop, answer emails, blah blah blah and she will sit next to me if I give

her a bone or she'll play with Piper and they're kind of contained in the family room.

I don't find that she's like running off very much by herself

she's gone to her create a ton of times without being told to you know not giving

the cue she just does it so that's obviously a great sign the

crate has been amazing I feel like the biggest improvement this time around
