Good (In no order) :
- Betsy sleeps through the night. The first few days she would wake up at 6 and need to potty, but now she will sleep from 10pm to 10am!
- Betsy only whines in her kennel when she honestly needs to go potty.
- She has never whined while on tie down.
- She knows her name and thanks enough.
- She kinda knows sit, come, wait and okay.
- She recognizes her "go to bed" mat.
- She eats at a normal pace.
- She hasn't had a lot of accidents in the house.
- She LOVES to cuddle and be held.
- She walks calmly on a leash..for a 11 week old puppy!
- Betsy is very calm.
- She plays well with other dogs...except she has poky puppy teeth so other dogs don't like playing with her.
- She is content to play with her toys by herself.
- Betsy watches TV. No joke. She will sit in front of the TV and stare at it for up to 10 minutes.
- She responds well to tone of voice.
- She LOVES her kennel!
- She is very good at puppy handling.
- She is good about relieving on concrete.
Not-So-Good (In no order) :
- She is a "vacuum cleaner" meaning she walks with her nose to the ground eating everything she can find.
- If she doesn't want to walk somewhere she will plant her butt and you have to pick her up to make her move.
- She is HUGE!
- If she gets to playing too much she will bark at her toys.
- She chews on blankets and shoes.
- She would rather play than learn commands. Hopefully this will change as she matures.
- She wanders off on her own if you aren't watching and then you have to go find her. She won't come because she things it's a game. It's like hide-and-seek but opposite!
- She's almost too lazy!
- She doesn't give any kind of sign that she needs to go outside. She just goes.
- She pees sitting down so you can't tell if she is going until there is a puddle.
That's about it. I must say that I'm very blessed to have such a cute and easy puppy. I'm sorry no pictures. I can't find my camera cord. Maybe tomorrow. And I will try to do a better post soon. I'm being a bad blogger.

Wow, she sounds excellent for being 10 weeks old! I hope she grows to love learning commands. :)
Rocky and Betsy sound like they have a lot in common. Rocky would still like to be carried around instead of walking but he is getting a little too big. He is also very calm and also loves to go potty on concrete which is a first out of my puppies. She sounds like she is a super sweet puppy!
