You all are wonderful!!! Thanks so much for cheering me up. After I wrote this post, the little stinker curled up in my lap then rolled over and gave me "the look". You know...... here's my belly....what are you waiting for.... go ahead.... scratch it..... ya know you want toooo.....
I love her already so I guess I have to call the "auction" off. Sorry everyone.
I have some more pictures of her that I'm going to download soon.
Littlelizzy: That truly could be me out in the front yard begging Tess to "hurry up and go potty"!!! When she is perfectly content to chew on leaves. Your post made me laugh. Glad to know someone else is experiencing the same thing. By the way.... I love the picture of your baby. He/she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I know my Tess won't look like that since she is a mix, but I can't wait to see her fully grown and her hair changes and all.
My sister has a Maltese that's a year old and she's been telling me the same thing you all have. HANG IN THERE! Her Bitsy used to pee and poo in the house so I'm glad mine is just a pee problem. She never poos inside anymore since the first week. This is my first puppy so it's all a little new. I'm sure we'll do just fine and from the sounds of it she is doing better than I thought.
Thanks again for all your words of encouragement.
