Summer's pup - Purple ribbon

She is the best Pup imaginable! She wasn't to happy about the ride home but it was uneventful thank goodness, she didn't act up or anything was just nervous. Took right to her cage with no problem she would go in and out with any coaxing, we just left the door open, she slept much of the afternoon. About 5 or so yesterday evening she got playfull and we made sure she had plenty of exersice etc as we didn't plan on a full nights sleep but figured if she was really pooped out,it might be better. Well believe it or not that Pup slept (or at least was silent) all night long and as of this morning has had one mistake in the house which really was my fault as I didn't keep her out long enough this morning. Thank you guys so much, this puppy is the best! Sue and I have settled on 'Goldie' for her name. Suzanne making an appt with the Vet as we are VERY SURE she still has worms (Paula told us to expect this) and get her checked out and her shots scheduled etc. Jill she is a great dog and many thanks to both of those ladies yesterday, Paula and I am not sure the other lady ever mentioned her name but both very helpful. I do not think I could do what you folks do, I would keep everyone of those dogs. Mike Patrick **************************** 2nd update **************************** Well it has been 2 almost 3 weeks now and Goldie (Golden Sunshine Patrick) is doing great! She is a handfull though we all start School tonight for probably more people training than Puppy training. Honestly this dog is a good one, she is about 95% house trianed now. We are still having some problems with her Nipping at us hence the Training classes!!! I am afraid my wife is going to spoil her rotten. 2 cages one for in our bedroom for nightime and one for her "Room" in our Sun room and a day bed in the family room more toys than most children own. She really has gotten accustomed to the crate though if things get noisy or she gets tuckered out she can be found in her "ROOM". She has been to the Vets and got a good bill of health I think her next scheluded dose of Shots in right around Thanksgiving. My wifes Dad is really thinking about contacting you guys he has fallen in love with our Goldie. Thank You for a really great Pup!!! I would ask for advice in one area, Goldie has a unique affinity for eating her Poop. We try to divert her attention the instant she is DONE with her business but not always succesfull. IS there a secret to breaking her habit?? Mike Patrick
