DOWN WITH CRATES, UP WITH SWEETNESS!

Numbers 1 and 2: Another perfect night for Padget. I'm so proud of her! She's been accident free since removal of the crate, and is sliding into pack-life like a well-oiled sardine. This morning she was invited into the human den and onto the bed for a snuggle. After two or three bum-wags, she heaved a big happy sigh and fell fast asleep. Crate Schmate!

Leash and walks: Padget is learning to heel very quickly, both by herself and with Ginny on the other side. She's still a bit nervous around other dogs, but we're working on that. And she loves kids!

Sit and stay: Sit? No, no, that's silly. Just get the food ready and my dish on the floor please. Right here. Right here on the floor. Right now, yes, that's it. What? Stay? Oh, I don't think so. It took two of us this morning to enforce sit-stay while doggie breakfast was being prepared, but in the end we won!

Padget and cats: perfect. Lots of tail wagging and sniffing, but no chasing or aggression.

So far, it looks as though she will be a great fit for almost any family: men, kids, cats and dogs are all okay with Padget!
