Poppy got me up this morning and took me outside. It was cold, and I got wet from the grass. I wasn’t very impressed, but then they wrapped me up in a towel and held me close—I liked that! I know where my bowl of food and water are and realize the kennel is to be USED. I go out, get my potty done (they keep saying, “Good poop” and “good pee.” I’m trying to figure that out today. I am hearing all of the noises that scare me and I like to run between their feet and lay down. I feel comfortable here.


I only had 3 accidents in the house today—Mamaw said that was pretty darned good. I snuggled up on the couch with Mamaw and spent some time just being close to her. She smells good and I like to climb up on her and kiss her! She likes it too – she turns around and kisses me on the head.

And I am learning a lot! I don’t like the word “no”—if I persist I have to go to my kennel. But Mamaw spent lots of time with me helping me climb up the steps from outside and then to climb down. I get really excited at figuring things out for the first time.
Poppy is home from work – he says he will walk me. I’m kind of afraid because I am wondering where Mamaw is but she doesn’t want me to be dependent on just one of them, so she leaves us alone. Before going to bed, we did take a walk; the 3 of us, and it was nice.

  1. (I received this from Deb Boswell, Bark Busters yesterday and wanted to share) Later on in the journal, we have her come and assist us with some training.

    Hi Andi,

    Now that is CUTE! But, do so hope that Scarlett has now found that training is NOT the torture she thought it would be!! She is one smart puppy!

    Thanks for sharing this – I’ll undoubtedly check in on Miss Scarlett from time to time!
