Fully potty trained! YAY! She caught onto that part pretty quickly.
Digging - UGG! She is so good inside but once she goes outside, she digs and makes a mess. It's can be frustrating for me to keep her clean but we try our best! We have doggie wipes and doggie perfume to help between bath times.
Chase – she loves to play chase. Good and bad, chase on my hour lunch break is not so fun for me.
Training classes – great! She just graduated from her puppy class and has learned many great skills. I’m pretty sure she was valedictorian.

| Yes those are bows in her hair! LOL! |
Freedom – she has earned quite a bit of our trust and we are giving her more freedom. At night she is no longer kenneled. She doesn’t really like being in bed with us that much anymore, but loves to sleep on the floor at the foot of the bed. Here soon we will test giving her some more boundaries during the day.
Separation Anxiety – she totally freaks out when she can't be in the same room as us or if she knows we are leaving. She so badly wants to come with us and is so happy when she does get to go in the car.

| SOOO over this photo shoot mom! |
 |
| little doodle bug! |
Ice cubes – I can’t even pour myself a glass of water without her right under my feet wanting her ice cube. It’s funny when one gets stuck to the side of her face.
Attention – she loves attention! Like most any puppy would!
 |
| Just like a little teddy bear! |
Time Out – Believe or not, we’ve actually trained our dog that when she is in trouble, she has to sit against the wall and not move at all for 10 minutes. If she moves, we barely have to yell and she goes right back against the wall. She knows time out is serious business! It’s the only punishment that really does seem to stick. Time outs are rare, most of the time she is on pretty good behavior.
Playing with other pups – she likes to be the aggressor. She tends to go after the weaklings. She gets scared when another dog is more aggressive with her in play.

| Waiting patiently at the Vet for vaccinations |
She is fully vaccinated! Her appointment to get spade is only a few short weeks away.
Scardy cat – sometimes when we want her to come inside, we just start barking while she isn’t looking. She is so scared of the sound of another bark, she runs right up the stairs into the house. Sometimes we get weird looks from our neighbors when we open the door and just start barking...
 |
| Super COOL |
 |
| So ya, slightly dangerous that she wants to be on the driver's lap |
Tricks - I can now sit a treat on her paw and make her wait to take it until I give the command. Pretty good for a pup who LOVES treats.
Chewing - I must admit (knock on wood), we have it pretty good. Not once has she chewed up anything in our house. Our shoes lay out, she never even attempts to chew on them. We really don't put anything up that wasn't out before we had her. She has hardly aknowledged our Christmas tree and gifts. But she does LOVE her toys! Toys and rawhides get lots of wear and tear!
 |
| We crack up when she falls asleep and actually starts to fall out of her bed as she is still sleeping, it's halarious |
Our life has changed with Charley, she is truely part of our family. It's funny... you know you are a pup parent when you roll over in bed in the morning onto a squeaky toy. That happens quite often!
 |
| I don't take baths often but when I do... she tries to get in with me! It won't be long before she will be able to get in if she really wanted to |
Baths - I can't shower without her trying to get in with me. Very intrigued by water.
It's too funny watching her watch TV. Her favorite shows are Say Yes To The Dress and The Biggest Loser :)
 |
| So tired! It's tough playing all the time |
Now since her hair is growing out more, it is super funny when I come home over my lunch hour and I wake her up and she props her head up to look at me and she has crazy bed head hair! I can tell when she has been sleeping for quite awhile just by looking at how wild her hair is.
Well that's all I can think of for now! Miss Charley is loving being a Hyde and we love her to pieces!
