Little Edie is a Good Girl

So here we are at almost two months together. Little Edie and I have come a long way. She knows her name now. She knows how to sit and give the paw. She now sniffs out and pees to mark her territory like a normal dog on her walks as opposed to just stopping and nervously peeing in the middle of the sidewalk. She's having less accidents in the house. She LOVES her cousins, Percy and Agnes and Percy is finally warming up to her. She knows my firm voice and that when I use it she's done something I don't approve of. She understands the purpose for her 'time out' time in the kitchen. She and Jake now spend time together hanging out on the bed. Jake has learned to 'tolerate' her! The last couple of nights I let her sleep with me instead of in her crate. She sleeps the whole night through. Last night I left the door to the crate open and when I woke up this morning she had gone in on her own. She's become a good little watch dog and feverishly does surveillance throughout the house. She has a very high pitched little bark! She loves to ride in the car in her special car seat. She really loves people. It's a fine line between holding her back and letting her say hello when she seems someone. The best is when these big, burly men just melt when she loves on them! She's gained a little weight and her little tail has fluffed out. She holds it high when she prances around. She loves her breakfast and dinner and treat time. She REALLY loves Jake's breakfast and dinner too! We're so lucky to have found each other. I just love her and we are totally bonded now. She inspired this blog and today we celebrate 300 visits in 3 short weeks. Thanks to all of you for embracing her and all of the wonderful pets and stories on this blog.
