We survived the 1st week!

Jojo standing in the grass looking at the camera with her head cocked. She has little triangle ears, short stocky legs, and a chubby little belly!
Jorinda is such a good puppy! She is so smart and such a sweetheart! She already knows her name and understands but occasionally chooses not to listen to sit, come, okay, wait, let's go, that's enough and DYB. Every time I take her outside she tries to go potty. We are still working on her giving me a sign that she needs out. She sleeps from 11pm to 9am. A perfect summer schedule if you ask me!

Jorinda loves to pull Betsy around by holding on to her dragline! I told you she was smart! 
Now we all know that every puppy can't be perfect! She is such a barker! If she is upset she whines and barks. Her separation anxiety is horrible...leading to horrible crate behavior. She will sleep in her crate when she is tired, but the second she wakes up it's bark, bark, bark! Today we went on a car ride and she whined the entire time. Even though Betsy and my brother were in the backseat with her. She just sat on the floor by Betsy and whined. Little Jojo is also a big chewer! She will chew on anything and everything. Luckily she hasn't completely destroyed anything yet, but my new flip flops now have little dots! Other than those two things, she truly is an angel!

Betsy was less than trilled when I first brought Jorinda home. She would pounce on Jojo and push her to the ground constantly! Now they play really nice together. And even though they wouldn't admit it, they secretly love each other!

Betsy is stretched out and Jorinda is resting her head on Betsy's stomach. They are both alseep

We do have one little problem. Jorinda thinks she can nurse on Betsy! And Betsy just stands there and lets her. Any advice, besides collar corrections, to make her stop?
