We forgot.............about the nature of...

the Scottie dug.........

 

just how much work one little puppy can be.....we forgot about the potty training, the crying at night when they feel alone.....the little things that they pick up and put in their tiny mouths..........

 

We forgot how much time that they need to have our company....when they are learning all about the new world they are in.........

 

We forgot that they are not little versions of bigger dogs, but in fact, are babies, that can have a major tantrum....

 

 

and feel frightened at times...........

Babies that need oh so much time, and patience.......the loving part is very easy...the training part can make you feel helpless and hopeless....

 

How an older dog will now need ten times the amount of reassurance that he's still the top dog...

 

When you add a little baby dog to a home with an elderly human Mom, it can become a lot to juggle.....especially when you begin to see the human Mom becoming more and more frail.....

So please forgive the absence....we know that you all want to see our little one everyday, while she learns and grows and discovers new things....

 

......and how we help the other critters adjust to their new sibling!
