More Fun with Chloe

So we've had our dog Chloe for 6 weeks now. Things are going well to a point. Yes, she barks a lot when she wants someone to play with her, jumps on the kids and makes them scream (they scream "Ouch!" because that's what the dog training video said to do), still pees in the house if I don't take her out every hour or so, and cried in her crate at night sometimes. (We do begin puppy training classes at Petsmart this Monday night!) However, the kids LOVE her regardless! Braewyn has to be reminded not to be so rough with Chloe but Chloe does a fine job of telling Braewyn to stop. And then Braewyn screams.









A big thank you to Matthew whom I've already thanked many times in person for doing such an awesome job building Chloe's childgate wall. Our staircase has a curved landing which makes a standard childgate impossible to fit. I do not want the dog upstairs for potty accident reasons and a billion choking hazards. The wall works great; Philip can climb over it and Braewyn can push it open and closed. Thanks, sweetie.

We're going to take Shaggy to Petsmart for classes, too! As soon as his leg is healed a bit more :)

Glad the kids are enjoying Chloe. She already looks bigger. Your laundry list of dog drama reinforced how very much I do NOT miss being a dog owner-- so my kids will just have to live vicariously through yours and enjoy Chloe through pics and at your house when we visit!

I'm telling you--Jonathan and Matthew need to open a handyman business-- I think there is something in this!!!
