Bella's Settling In Perfectly!

Image
I'm so happy to report that Bella's training is going incredibly well. After a little initial adjustment, she's quickly picked up the toilet routine. The first night at home, she did have an accident in her crate, but that was to be expected. Since then, she's been absolutely dry!  We've been using training pads to help her understand where to pee, and we've been gradually moving them closer to the outside door. For a number two, she's been really good about letting us know when she needs to go, and she always does her business outside. Sleepwise, Bella has been doing really well. There have been a few whimpers when she's first put to bed, which is totally understandable as she's missing her siblings. But overall, she's been sleeping through the night. Bella is such a keen learner, and she loves to play. It's the perfect combination! She can already sit on command, and she's definitely not afraid of a little bribery. We're so excited
