Puppy Power

So we got a new puppy recently. We rescued her at the animal shelter on Friday. Her name is Sweet Pea. She is an american pit bull/terrier mix. She is almost 8 months old. We have an appointment on Wed for her inital wellness check at the vet.

We have had several accidents but she's getting better about it. She knows if she does wrong, we will be putting her outside so she starts to go for the door. When we bring her in she goes into the kennel until we let her out.

I know it's about getting her trained to go to the door if she needs to go out but it's going to take a while. In the meantime we just have to be patient and understand it's like potty training a toddler. They have accidents as well and eventually get out of that stage.

We were talking about it and have pretty much decided that for our anniversary we will just go to Sea World for the day and come home so we don't have to board her. Then when we get ready to go to Disney in May we will have to sweet talk my parents into watching her or take her to be boarded.

We are going to take her to the park on Friday to see how she does after we get her license tag.

Tomorrow starts the overtime schedule for two weeks. My team is doing it before our normal work hours. Ian's team is after work so I will be getting 3 hours of overtime each day that we share together. So that will be really nice on the paycheck.

We had gotten caught up on our bills thanks to a birthday present from Ian's parents. Then I was out for almost a week and have been grateful for that extra money as it helped get the bills paid with my paycheck being cut in half due to that.

Hopefully there are no more issues for the rest of the year. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Not much else to say today. I will post a picture tomorrow if I have the time of Sweet Pea.
