    Starting to be a little bit in love with her now (as she has stopped being such a pain and is starting to be a bit better with Charlie - and her biting is now not so awful already, very, very thankfully).

    This is her little bits of training today - not exactly wild, but we enjoyed it all the same. :)

    We also managed to play the noise desensitisation CD today, just as well as there was a terrible thunderstorm tonight. She wasn't bothered at all though.

    Aw, thanks!

    It hasn't ended quite so well - it's 1am, I'm on the late shift, it's torrential rain and I can't get her to have a last wee! Drat! Oh well, give it one more try then I'll give up! :D

    Ah well - that didn't work! Just got wet again! She just ran for the door / chair / log store - plus was startled at a massive crack of thunder. Second crack of thunder and I was ready with a handful of treats, which she gobbled up. But that's that - no last wee and poos tonight!

    Hope she slept well and didn't need to go out in the night!

    ah lovely to see such early training. Completely un-phased by all those builders.

    Gosh! Doesn't seem like five minutes ago and we were on the sofa cuddling (and avoiding teeth. :).) teeny Bramble and her gorgeous puppy tummy! Betsy is so adorable, and love her happy tail when out and about.

    I can't see the vid, but it's nice to hear you're in love now, even if it is only a little bit ;)

    How are you getting on with the uncluttered girly tummy? :D

    Well, I have to say, it still all seems very strange! Her skin is dark on her tummy - what's that all about? Charlie has a light chocolate coloured tummy, which I think is prettier!

    Ah, Shadow has dark skin in places, but his tummy is pretty pink. His little cojones change colour, from pink to dark brown. Now that is weird! :D

    Aw, she is gorgeous!!! I almost want another! It reminded me that Jessie made friends with some builders when we first started walking her. Also reminded me of the late shift wee! We got Jessie in January, so lots of me standing around in the early hours in wellies, coat and pjs whispering "get busy". We saw some nice starry nights, though!

    Lovely heel work and great builders, oh the bliss of training a puppy and socialisation :)

    Stop chatting up the builders pretending you are socialising your puppy :rofl:

    I'm a happily attached woman! :D:D:D My single, and very pretty friend, borrowed Charlie when he was Betsy's age, said he was a guy puller! Strange, she's offered to help with puppy socialisation again next week. :rolleyes::D

    The black skin is from the black pigmentation genes :) Same idea as the black nose etc.

    Always a problem.

    I'm getting a child's plastic table so that the pup can spend under it in the dry.
