Peachisms

So we have had our little puppy for 2 weeks now. On monday she will be 13 weeks, and I must say she isn't a little puppy now. Our trainer says she about 3 or 4 years old now, which makes sense.

What Peach can do:

• lets us know she wants to go out side by jingling a bell on our back door
  
• stays in her crate for up to 4 hours during the day without accidents
• sleeps 9 - 10 hours a night with no potty break (crated of course)
• will sit on command either verbal or hand command
• runs in circles
  
• can find you playing hide and go seek if you make noise
• can climb on the couch but understands she isn't welcome there
• can sneak out of a blockade unless its a locked baby gate or closed door
• knows and distinguishes different people (cries when mommy goes upstairs, sits and waits at bottom of stairs for Brandon, jumps on hallways blockade to get to daddy when he comes home.)
• will dance for a spoon full of peanut butter

What Peach is learning to do:

• play fetch
• drop it, take it, leave it
• roll over
• stay
• catch in mid air
• walk nicely on a leash
• go to bed quietly without crying
• go potty outside 100% of the time

What Peach likes:

• playing hockey with ice cubes
• her fuzzy green froggy and tug of war rope toy
• snuggling with daddy, and mommy sometimes
• playing fetch with mommy
• biting feet
• stealing bath mats
• playing with towels
• trying to steal laundry as we try to fold it

What Peach dislikes:

• the rake and broom
• being without her people for too long
• the dark
• eating at a specific time
• being crated (initially, she seems to get over the insult after a bit)

So in conclusion, we are getting used to our growing puppy, as she turns into a smart, funny little girl.
