Our First Entry

Well it is obviously me and Gus' first diary entry. I cannot even tell you how great it has been having Gus in our home these past 4 weeks. I have to say I am in love with tis little guy!

Yesterday, I was sure we made a milestone when he went and sat at the door, I let him out, and he went potty. He has only had two accidents in the house since I take him out fairly regularly, not leaving time to have any accidents. BUT tonight after his walk (and after relieving himself at least 3 times durring the walk) we came home and played inside...then he had his 3rd addicent in the house (not even 30 min after comming in)! I was heartbroken because we had made it so far! So tomorrow we are going to start some hardcore "let me outside to potty" training...and by hardcore I mean persistent and consistent. Wish us luck!

On another note my husband and I have planned a vacation for the end of August. It will be for 8 days and Gus will not be joining us since it isn't really a pet friendly travel society....With that said we will have to leave Gus at a kennel which breaks my heart! I do not live near family and I don't have anyone who I can trust to puppysit...sigh. It is crazy how emotionally attatched I am to this puppy I have even considered canceling the vacation(but my husband was not to happy with that idea). I am hoping to figure it out soon and make both Gus and myself more comfortable with this idea.
