    So sweet Bella turned 12 weeks yesterday...did herself a beautiful sit still on the scale...and showed us a 19.6 pound....that's another 3 pounds over the course of the week...no wonder it seems like she grows everyday!!!! :eek: :eek:

    We've also had some nice (according to puppy mom's everywhere!) breakthroughs! Bella is now consistently alerting and ringing the bell to go outside for her potty breaks....no mistakes on my part or hers over this long weekend!!! YEA!!!! ;D ;D 8) ;D 8) ;D 8)

    An even better....we're sleeping MUCH better and not waking...apparently we're learning bladder control. Since we brought her home a month ago, she has been consistently sleeping 3.5-4 hours overnight...but this past weekend we had several 6-7 hour sleep stretches overnight. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) And when she does wake up...it's not an EMERGENCY to go out and potty....whew!

    Being thankful for the little things...

    Bella is doing so well. It all starts to fit into place and life becomes that little bit easier.
