We picked up Zoey Friday evening, and we've had a ton of fun with her all weekend. She'll be 4 months old later this week, and she's already crate trained and somewhat potty trained. All of the paperwork we signed says she's a corgi mix, but we have an appointment with the vet Wednesday, so we'll see what they say.
Her personality has changed a little bit every day since we picked her up. As she's gotten more comfortable with us, she's getting more and more hyper and playful. She loves her crate, and I've yet to hear her bark, though I know she will soon. She's somewhat leash trained, and we're working on that each day. She's fine peeing outside but hates pooping outside, and we're working on that as well. She sleeps through the night and only cries when she wants attention during the day, but we know to ignore her and let her cry it out. Usually after about 5 minutes she chills out, which is great. We've already gotten over her fear of the stairs, and she's already learned to respond to her new name. She's also learning to do her business on the grass, so we've made a ton of progress already with her. She's a very smart pup!
Yesterday we did have a small incident where she figured out how to get out of her crate while we were out running errands. She's a little ninja, that one. She actually didn't do much damage at all though, so we're pretty lucky. We rigged it to where she shouldn't be able to bust out today, so hopefully she's where we left her when I go home at lunch to let her out and feed her. We bought a pet-monitoring camera too, but H hasn't had a chance to set it up yet. He said he'll do that tonight, so tomorrow I'll be able to watch her while we're at work.
We signed her up for a 6-week training class that starts on 12/15. We have a coupon for a free 30-minute training consultation too that we'll schedule for this week or next week just to touch base and make sure we are doing a good job with her.
Here are pictures of the little rascal!
