I bet those of you who know that my youngest child is about to start kindergarten were suprised to read that!
So...the potty training going on is of 5 puppies. I have housebroken puppies before, but never 5 at one time! We are crate training, which works pretty well, and everybody's home for the most part, so I have help keeping an eye on them, looking for when they start sniffing the floor or squatting down. Problem is, they're already so close to the floor, it's hard to tell sometimes!
They are the sweetest little things you can imagine. One of our boys has gone to live on a farm (a real farm, not just the farm parents tell their kids the dog went to when they want to get rid of the dog...), but the other 5 are still at home. They're almost 6 weeks old, so something's going to have to happen, but we do love them. I wish we could keep them all, but we just can't.
But in the meantime, they have GOT to be potty trained! So, we're back on a schedule we haven't had to keep in 5 years...I take the midnight and 3 a.m. backyard runs, and Matt takes the 6 a.m. Did you know the moon is fully risen and very bright at 3 a.m.? I had no idea; it sort of makes the whole experience kind of pleasant. I mean, who gets to be out in their back yard at 3 a.m.?
Anyway, if you know anyone who wants a puppy (good homes only, though), let them know about us. The puppies are almost 6 weeks, half cocker spaniel, and we have 4 boys and 1 girl. They've had their first shots, and we're willing to drive to bring them to the right people.
Off to put puppies in the crate,
Kat

I didn't even know you had puppies over there! Where did they come from and what are they?
LOL...they were born June 13, so they are 8 weeks old. We have two left: Alban and Sirius. Did I blog about where the others went? Anyway, they were Athena, Jinx, Grover, and Spanky. They are half golden retriever and half whatever Cheyenne is. Short, white...I dunno. We have completely agreesd that 3 dogs is too many for our house, but we can't seem to commit to the decision to give one of the last 2 pupppies to the Humane Society.
