Goodmorning. We just got a new puppy Lola on 1/22. So adorable. Bundle of energy. She gets along well with her 2 y/o brother Rocky. He is so sweet to her.She is almost 16 weeks old.I put her sleeping crate on my nightstand and she sleeps all night. I pick her up if she whines and place her on a pad to potty. A new puppy sure is a lot of work following her everywhere to make sure no bad potties. All bedrooms and back hall gated. I had not been on this site since 2014. It’s great to be able to look up old threads regarding questions I have. Hope y’all have a Happy Sunday!

Congrats on your new baby. I have a 1 1/2 year old named Phoebe. Puppies are a lot of work and the older I get the harder they seem but Phoebe has calmed down considerably since I got her at 8 wks. Grooming used to be a nightmare because she fought it so bad but even though she still hates being groomed she now tolerates it. Potty training was an issue as well but she is mostly trained now. If we go to someone elses house I put her in a pair of pull ups or a diaper. Share some pictures of you babies, I would love to see some.

This board seems to be a ghost town even though it says there are quite a few people viewing the boards very few ever post. Happy to have someone to post with.
