Considering Diapers.

Thus far Buffy is proving to be very difficult to potty train. She gets that when you go outside you go potty and she'll do all her business outside and doesn't seem to have any problem with it but she still has about three or four accidents a day. If you don't take her out ASAP after she's been sleeping or eating she will just squat her little butt down and pee where ever she pleases. It's so frustrating! She knows to potty outside but she just can't understand that going potty inside is so not cool. It hasn't even been a week so I need to be a bit more patient but we were just so spoiled with Tibor. He was unbelievably easy to potty train, why can't he just teach her the ropes?

As you know we're been letting Buffy sleep in bed with us because I'd rather get some sleep than listen to her scream bloody murder all night long. Well last night she rocketed herself off the bed just to pee on the floor. I was so not happy about this. I was so tired because I had gotten to bed later than I usually do and I was in that half asleep stupor so I panicked and woke up Bryan because I wasn't sure what to do. If you've seen my bed you know that thing's pretty dang high. I almost need a step ladder to get into bed so I can't believe she jumped off without killing herself. Tibor can't even get on the bed, not that we allow that but still.

Ahh, puppies are fun, yes? Don't get me wrong, no regrets on the adoption but potty training is the worst thing about puppies, after that it's all good so I really hope she catches on soon or I really will consider putting diapers on her. I do just love and adore her though, she's just so sweet and loves to be held, now I miss my puppy, sigh...

Furniture

We actually have some, yay! Bryan's mom gave us her old couches and coffee table so now we actually have furniture in our living room, so exciting! Today is obviously a slow news day.

Meh.

Meh is now officially a word...awesome...or rather, meh.

Probably not a good idea.


You wouldn't think to look at her but Buffy can make some noise! I never realized how easy a puppy Tibor was until we got Buffy. Tibor was so easy to crate train, he barely made a peep, not so much for Buffy. She puts up a racket that you wouldn't believe. It sounds like someone's in the crate with her pulling her claws out with tweezers. It actually sounds like she's screaming. We tried putting her in her crate Sunday night but after that wailing went on for about five minutes and we just couldn't take it anymore. We couldn't even hear the TV at full volume, that's how loud she was. Putting her in a box by our bed worked out a little better than the crate but she still would start whining every hour or two and last night she actually knocked over the box and escaped and Bryan and I were just so tired that we gave in and just let her sleep in the bed with us. She slept most of the night the little brat. She woke up once at 4:30am and started biting me and I had to take her out but that was the only time. She sure knows how to play us doesn't she? Poor Tibor never gets to lay in bed with us because he's so good, it just doesn't seem fair. She's definitely more of a handful than Tibor was but we still love her and Tibor's been surprisingly good with her. This morning she was climbing all over him, biting his tail, paws and face and he just let her do it. It was so cute! I can tell he's trying really hard to hold back too, it's like he really wants to play but he knows he has to be gentile with her. Sometimes he forgets and tries to pounce at her and scares the crap out of her and she does one of her screams, which is pretty hilarious but he's not hostile, just playful. I'm sure it won't be long before they can play like he wants to. We just need to figure out how to crate train her! Our dog walker Robyn says she can hear Buffy crying when she pulls up outside, so I shudder to think that these crying fits go on all day, poor Tibor's the one that has to put up with it the most. He's such a good boy!

Tibor used to be that little.

The picture on the left is Tibor the first day we got him and the picture on the right is Buffy the second day after we got her. I tried to do the same pose so you could see their difference in size but I was a little off. You can still judge their sizes by looking at the metal back on the cart. Tibor's sitting down and his head is above it and Buffy is standing and her head doesn't reach the top. Below is a picture of Tibor and Buffy together as of now. I'm going to take a picture every week with them together like this to see how much she grows. We tried to get her to sit but she wasn't having it.

Meet Buffy Hadzik.


Yep, we did it. We got puppy number two! We got her from the Humane Society yesterday and she is a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix and we're all already totally in love with her. The Human Society wasn't certain about her mix but there's no doubt she's got Rottweiler in her, the German Shepherd part was the guess due to her coloring. They also guessed her age to be about two months old, which is crazy because she's half the size Tibor was at two months old so I think Tibor may have been older than they thought he was.

Tibor's not quite sure what to think about her yet but I think as soon as she's big enough to play then he will love her as much as Bryan and I do. I hope they will be the best of friends!

James Bond...meh.

We went and saw the new James Bond movie last night and I have to say I'm still not a fan. It was fine going to the theater and it was mildly entertaining but I'd never watch it again. The opening scene with the silhouetted naked women was just so stupid and when he has sex with the red head chick it was so ridiculous. That would so not happen. I've just never been a fan of James Bond. He uses women only for sex and it bugs me. I realize he's a fictional character but I still don't like him and probably never will. I'm done with my James Bond rant now.
