Okay, fourth day, having a new puppy, looks a lot like an Australian Shepherd, but evidently there's a thing, which is a German

Australian shepherd. It's actually an entity like poodle poo nonsense. Okay? But mostly Australian,

this dog is just adorable. Now, the important part that I'm mostly dealing with, I mean the potty training, you know,

you just, you have to sacrifice a lot, be on top of it, take them out all the time.

Fortunately, at this point, I've only had him since Monday afternoon.

I put him gently on the grass or dirt, and I say, go pee-pee. And he does. I mean,

it's like pee-p-on-command. And I've only seen two upsies in the house. And I don't know how

those got by me, because I'm on him all the time. I must have blinked. You know how kids are. But the big

problem was how is he going to relate to lilybug and back in it. So she tries to get him to play,

you know, the jumping and barking, which is the invitation to to play and it all does to scare him because

he's just a baby doesn't know what any of that means she sniffs him but if he comes anywhere near

and touches her she's up and away she still wants her her space. And I read up on it, and that's

exactly what you're supposed to do. Let him figure it out. Let him have their space. They will work

it out. He will get older. He will know what play means, and then things will start changing.

But right now I'm sitting here on half a chair because she's behind me between my tush and the back of the chair,

and that's where she likes to be.

And I have made sure that I don't change anything.
