I never thought I would be writing these words . . . honestly, getting a cat last year seemed more believable than what has most recently transpired in the Senechal household.
And this means that yes, you read the post title correctly: we. got. a. dog. She's a sweet, 12-week-old Cavapoo puppy named Fern. We brought her home last Saturday and are working on potty/crate training her. So far there's been no accidents (there's always somebody available to hustle her outside when she starts showing signs of needing to go), so . . . yay!

| Isn't she adorable? |
 |
| Time to brush that beautiful, curly fur! |
 |
| In a family as big as ours, she definitely gets plenty of exercise, snuggles, and playtime! Our walks/short jaunts with her are the best. |
Next on the agenda is to teach her to obey basic commands ("no," "come," etc.). If you have any tips to share on raising/training a puppy, by all means feel free to drop a comment (or two!) below; I'd love to hear from you. 😄
Blessings,
Ellen
Aww, Fern is so cute! Cavapoos are soooo cute! I was three when we got our (then) puppy, so I have no tips on training, except lots of praise when the dog does what you want her to do. :D
ReplyDeleteAww she is positively adorable, Ellen!! 😍
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute! And I love the name too! I don't have any training tips, but one thing we did for our dog was tie a bell to the door and teach him to ring it whenever he wants out. It comes in handy because it's much easier to hear than scratching! (Although it can be a little bit of a pain sometimes, because our dog loves being outside and will sometimes ring it just to see if we will let him out to explore or sit in the sun ;P)
