There's a Possibility

Life with Bubbles is... rather busy.

She is a good girl with a lot of energy! I have learned a lot from TikTok videos on puppy training.  Some of the things I have actually used and have been successful with.  Like potty training.  From the first day she was here, I have taken her outside just about every hour, religiously. Treats are offered, no matter  how small the tinkle. Within days she was 90% potty trained. Now, she is about 98% - however - she leaks when someone she loves surprises her and she gets excited. That's not real often, but still.  Gary said maybe I should return her since she leaks.  

No way! I'm sure he was just kidding.

I was nervous about starting the winter of my life with a puppy being a part of it.  I convinced myself that I'd never sleep again. My life would not be my own. I would be servant to another dog. Forever.

But the emptiness left by Gracie's absence gnawed at me and I knew - be it as it may - I had to have a dog to love.  God knew too.  It's why this little girl came to us at exactly the right time.  I am amazed at how God works in my life, though I should not be at all surprised.  He knows me better than I know myself. 

Bubbles disposition can be described as: Bubbly, loving, sweet, cuddly, smart, and ornery.

She is totally attached to me! She can be in a deep sleep, and if I quietly leave the room she is up and ready to plop down wherever I end up, so she can watch me.  I cannot hardly believe that she allows the separation at night, as I put her in her living room 'pen' which we call Bubbleville, and she stays there without a whimper through the night. I had better be ready at 5:30 - 6:00 AM to be up and ready for the day, because by then she is needing to potty. 

So the question remains.  Do angels have 4 paws?  There's a possibility.

  1. Is this Summer? I enlarged it to get a better look. She has grown so much, and is so beautiful! This is a great photo.

  2. It is amazing the love a dog can bring into our lives. Our dachshund turns two in December and we are wrapped around her paws. Hubby is 79 and I'm a few years behind him but our girl has put a lot of laughter and spring in our step. Patty McDonald

  3. Winslow used to "tinkle" when son would come over. We got that he would be outside when son did come over so that if Winslow did tinkle it wouldn't be a mess on the floor or carpet. He did outgrow it eventually. Glad Bubbles is getting the potty training down! Puppies do have so much energy! I think they do keep us young though!

No Rain, Please and Thank You

 A year and a half after bringing our bubbly bundle of joy home with us, I can report that her favorite pastime is TENNIS COURT PLAY.  Sadly...
