Well, here's Pearly. She is 8 months old right now. Just wanted to share a couple of pics with everyone. She's a wild one. More like crazed. She likes to think of our house as a racetrack and Pandora as a competitor. The red collar in the middle had white bones on it. We had to invest in a harness because she likes to pull on her walks and her neck hair was wearing thin. The harness and lead are black with white skull and crossbones to carry on the theme of her name "The Black Pearl". She's going through the terrible two's right now and into everything. Holes galore in our clothes, curtains, pillows. She's a handful but her cuteness makes up for it. We can't keep the patio window clean enough. She's always slobbering all over it. We had to get a 2nd gate for our bedroom because our cat Pandora was losing her "zen" room with Pearly in there all the time. We still have to keep the bathroom doors shut so she doesn't attack the tp and run with it. She always begs for attention. It's hard to get any "me/us" time. Her potty training is a work in progress. She still does both in the house when we're not looking. Like this morning 3x's. Twice up here and once downstairs. I've walked her 3 times since 5am and it's now noon. It's so hot out and she has been drinking alot of water. We have taking the divider out of her crate and she has been doing wonderfully. She hasn't had an accident in her crate in months. She's licking my feet right now trying to make up for going potty in the house. She likes to be held when I'm walking around. Not so much when I'm sitting down. She likes to chew on my hair so I've been wearing ponytails alot. It usually takes her 3 hours to calm down after being in the crate for any length of time so weeknights are crazy. Puppies are a lot of work. Their cute but whoa the energy level they have. Looking foward to her becoming a calm young woman in hopefully the near near future. We love her so much and she does bring a lot of joy to us. It's not all bad.
