So, how did it go you ask? Well, let me start from last Friday. Both Steve and I had to work Friday - all day. I had not made any special plans to go home or anything to let her out. I had a lunch meeting to get some items that I'm planning to donate (I'll post about my volunteering time with No One Left Behind in another post) and then I had a 2pm meeting. After my meeting, I started to feel bad that Bella was left in a crate all day - she's still so new and I'm sure she was somewhat nervous.
I got home around 3pm and luckily, she was fine in her crate (no accidents). I quickly let both dogs outside and decide to bring Bella back to my office for the rest of the day. I had several co-workers who were really anxious to meet her. She did fantastic! She met everyone with a wagging nub, was friendly and calm. I walked her around a bit, then we sat in my office and worked until close to the end of the day!
Such a good girl
After trying to get out of my office, she eventually just laid down!
We went and picked up the girls, and then headed home! She did great! We experienced a pretty big storm over the weekend (weather people were warning us for DAYS ahead of time!) and it was a pretty decent storm. It started Saturday and when we woke up, it was snowing. It continued to snow and get more intense as the day went on. The bulk of the snow was going to hit overnight and into Sunday morning. Steve's work NEVER closes for stuff like this and even they closed 2.5 hours early! Steve got home around 7:30.
Sunday morning we woke up to at least 20 inches of snow. And it was FREEZING. MR loved being outside and dove into snowbanks like a freaking dolphin. It was hilarious! Poor Bella is NOT made for this weather and we had to literally throw her out the door each time to get her to pee/poop outside. She had a couple of accidents over the weekend, but I attribute it to A) her being in a new house and B) it's just so frigid out.
I ordered her this shirt for the time being. I want something that she can wear all the time. I'll get her a heavier jacket for next year. I'm also going to ask my mom if she can make a turtleneck-type scarf for her.
Anyway, days 3 and 4 went really well and we love her! She still hasn't made a peep...
