Filling you in

Surprise! We got a puppy. Jake has been begging for one since...forever. I surprised Jake and the girls on Valentine's Day and picked up our little Shih-tzu. Her name is Coco. She is a cutie! The girls love her (probably cuz they don't have to clean up after her) Jake liked her at first but now, he wouldn't care if we got rid of her. He is sick of picking up her crap etc. I don't know the first thing about potty training a dog. I have a three year old human that isn't even potty trained.

I know, I know. That is so sad that Ellie isn't potty trained. I have been getting so much crap for it lately. I'm sick of hearing people tell me what a horrible mom I am. We just got back from Hawaii (which was fun but I will post about that later) and so I just started her yesterday. It actually has been going farely well. She gets embarassed and doesn't tell me she has to go so she'll just go by herself and pull off her panties and go. Which I guess for the second day, is pretty good. However, sometimes she goes pee while she's just standing there and realizes she's not a wearing a diaper and run to the bathroom so half makes in the potty and the other half has made a pee trail to the bathroom. I have prepared myself for the worste so to me, that is great if a drop makes in the potty. Anyway, I will keep you updated on whether or not we still have Coco in a few months. : )
