It's amazing how fast a puppy can grow. Lexus was not quite 15 lbs when she first arrived and now she weighs 26 lbs! It's also amazing how quickly she is learning. Emma is a good trainer. After one month, Lexus is housebroken, will sit and wait for Emma to give her permission to eat her food, will sit on command almost all the time, will run up to me and automatically sit down calmly so I can pet her, and she no longer barks when she wants to come out of the playpen or kennel.
There is a lot more Lexus will have to learn and she likes to remind us she is still a young puppy. She knows she's not allowed past the kitchen. If she is curious enough and feeling mischievous, she will make a sudden dash, running through the house like lightening, usually picking up a shoe on her way. If she's going to be scolded, might as well have a little fun first.
Mostly, it's just a lot of fun having a puppy around again!
