So some of you might have seen from my Facebook status that Sophie and I have a dog.
She is a black cocker and is 2 months old (DOB 3/4/11). We have called her Georgie (couldn't call her Patrick, David or Andrew0. We bought her in the market this morning.
You can find some more pictures of her on Facebook if you want. Obviously we will be uploading more as she gets older.
She currently feels very happy in the hall with her bed under my desk. But she is slowly but surely exploring the rest of the flat. I am so glad that I'm not doing this on my own because soph seems to know all those things that need to be done to train a puppy. Simple things like getting her urinate on paper and she seems (more or less) to piss there now.
Obviously she has been whining a bit but it is imperative that one doesn't pander to her complaining. Sophie has warned me that tonight is going to be brutal because she will almost certainly be crying in the hall way but that the best thing that we can do is to leave her.
Just now she has downed her whole bowl of water is looks like she is really bloated, evidently she doesn't know how to pace herself. This is going to be a huge learning curve.
