Graytonbound's Newest Beach Buddy...

Thanks Kathy. It is hard. Everyone around me is getting puppies so I can get my fix. But I also just moved into a new house and thinking about my carpet 🙂

I crate trained my puppies it worked out great for the housebreaking part. Of course, it is like having a new baby around. I got up in the middle of the night with her and took her our if I heard her moving around. She would go potty then go right back to sleep in her crate. Just thought I would give you something else to think about!!!! The time will come when you are ready to do it again.

This complete guide, illustrated with more than eighty photographs, explains the stages of puppy development, how to communicate with your pup,
how to begin a complete training program, and how
to deal with common problems like chewing, jumping up, and paper-training. The Art of Raising A Puppy
is an essential source of wisdom, information, and inspiration for anyone who loves and cares for a puppy.




The Monks of New Skete advocate the philosophy
that "understanding is the key to communication, and
compassion with your dog; whether it is a new puppy
or an old companion.

If and when we get another dog, it won't be a puppy. I'm a big fan of the rescued dogs. Grayhounds are my favorite. Now, it's just a time thing, both kids are in school, sad to think of a poor dog home in a crate all day by himself.

I didn't keep her in a crate all day. Just wanted to clarify. She had portable fenced in area in my living room for daytime. I put puppy pads down and she used them from day one. I only crated her at night. She slept right beside my bed. I am not an advocate of crating all day. Just wanted to clarify. OH, and by the way, I the Greyhounds are the BEST !!!
