Before the Weekend Update!

WOW!! We have almost owned Elsie three weeks. This next week, LORD willing, she should be getting her next set of shots...... I wonder if she will scream as loud as she did the first time. Silly Elsie always over reacts.

This week we have once again seen that Elsie has a huge amount of energy for being a nine week old puppy! She ran about 1 mile today and all together has gone about two miles so far. Both me and her are learning to run along.... she makes me exercise so much more then I had to with my horse (which is good). I enjoy running with her, Skia, mom and my older sister! Such fun! I walk her about a mile to two miles a day and she has been sleeping very well.

As far as sleeping... I cannot complain. She has been sleeping around from 9 till 6:30 AM, with a break at ten thirty PM to go out. So far, she has not had an accident in her crate since over a week. She rarely whines and only gives little ones when it is time to get out.

We are still feeding her on a breakfast at 5-7 AM, a lunch at 1ish PM, and dinner at about 7:30 - 8 PM. She is doing fine on it.... but rarely does she seem hungry enough to actually eat without distraction.

Elsie has been learning to sit (just daily practice she has already learned), to lie down, to role over, and fetch toys by name.

Over all, after two days of no updates, she is still doing well.
