Last night went great!! I put her in her crate around 11pm and put the crate on my headboard (there is no way she could fall off). She whined a little at first but I told her no, it is bedtime and put my hand up to the crate so she would know I was there. She settled down and slept until 7am!

I took her out this morning but I don't think she has ever been taught to use the bathroom outside. She will chase me or the kids and explore the yard but she doesn't potty. (we were out there for 30 min) So, when I brought her back in she ran around for a few min then peed in the kitchen. I told her no and took her to her pee pad. She ran around a bit, followed me into the kitchen and peed again. She also peed a small amount on the towel we keep under our Great Danes food/water bowls. Maybe I will get some cloth pads for her. I used cloth diapers for my son...same thing right!

So, I thought of a name this morning. For some reason "P" names have been in my head. She has a silvery face and where he hair parts down her back is a silvery white. So what about Pepper Ann?

I also made her an appointment to get a quick cut in the AM. She has so mats around her bottom (no where else) and I want to get her used to the whole process. I also want to get her used to a top knot since it looks like she is going to have a yorkie face.
