Kelsa's first full day

Oh wow, raising Kelsa is going to be a lot of work. I was just reading the puppy raising manual looking for items that pertain to Kelsa and that's practically all of them. She still needs to meet traffic, go on a walk longer than around the neighborhood, be able to go in outings that are longer than in and out, and learn 'down'. The walks and outings might not be problems that will last after she settles in.
So on to yesterday and bits of today.
The top good thing is that she hasn't had any accidents in the house. But she has been going out every hour or two. Another good thing is that she and Tazzi are getting along pretty well. He's only snarled twice and growled maybe 4 times, I think that is a record for him with a new puppy, particularly one under 7 months old. It's interesting, Tazzi will growl about the little things but he'll also ignore them. Take last night for instance, He growled at her for putting her nose in his face while he was on the couch, then later he let her take a bone from right in front of him. I think he was glad we took a Taz only walk yesterday.
So I made a couple of not-the-wisest choices yesterday with Kelsa. The first was thinking she should go on any outings at all on her very first day, in retrospect that was a bad idea. The second was not remembering that nervousness goes to puppy bladders. I figured I wouldn't relieve Kelsa before we went into New Seasons, we'd made two in and out stops before and she had last relieved just over an hour ago, boy was I wrong. we were about half way through the store when she had an accident... some puppies make puddles, Kelsa makes lakes. I so impressed with the new seasons staff, they were so low key about it, like a puppy making a lake in the middle of the store happens all the time.
Despite that Kelsa is a great puppy! She sleeps a lot, which is a blessing when her rolling around in the crate wakes you up a 4 in the morning. She has lots of personality. She's also funny, she cocks her head and looks surprised when she hears the dishwasher or when I open the mail box. She also is great with the cat!

Blogger is being mean and not letting me upload new pictures right now, so I can't give you more pictures of her.
