Well we’ve made it through the first work week and I’m happy to say that things went great!  Our neighbors report that our house is quiet during the day, so it seems that Kera has adjusted to being home with Biscuit.  So far this week we’ve been working on the command “sit” which she seems to have mastered when you have something that smells good in your hand =) and only if there are no distractions.  We’re working on using this at the front door, but she hasn’t quite gotten the hang of it yet.     We’ve also been working a lot on housebreaking - she’s not quite there yet, but she’s not having nearly as many accidents. 

We’ve had a lot of fun introducing Kera at the dog park.  She gets excited whenever we take out her “Adopt Me” bandana because that means that we’re going out.  She loves to meet all the people at the park, but she stays pretty close to us, checking back every few seconds to make sure we’re in site.  She pretty much ignores all of the dogs though.  Much as they try to encourage her to play with them, she was not interested and would come and sit by our side.  We’re hoping that she’ll warm up to the idea of playing with the other dogs, but it hasn’t happened yet. 

Tonight we took Kera out on a walk.  She really wanted to go for a car ride, but I insisted on the run.  It was slow going, because she’s quite the puller so we had to stop a lot to practice the comand “Heel,”  but by the end of the 3rd mile she was starting to get the hang of things. 

Now she’s snuggling up for her bedtime story: img_0239.jpg
