She sure is a sweetheart! But she's also got a mind of her own: I thought I'd be smart and just take her out every half hour this first week, to reduce the amount of incidents...I even managed to get her to understand "hurry", which I thought was pretty good. As of yesterday my half hour doesn't work any more: if she doesn't need to go, she takes the lead in her mouth and starts walking back to the back door. No stopping her, then! But on the whole, she's is pretty good puppy!
