Sofie Milestone

We hit a milestone with our puppy, Sofie today! This was the first day she's been able to stay all day in her crate without any potty accidents. For those of you with puppy experience, you understand what an awesome thing this is. I was ecstatic when I got home to find her still clean and dry. No messes to clean up! Woo hoo!!

She is currently 5 1/2 months old. From what friends have said, this is about the time we expected her to start being able to do this. She is much more solid with the housetraining as well, with only an occasional accident, usually as a result of us humans not paying attention to her subtle body language and signals.

We are trying to train her to bump a bell with her nose that we have hanging from the door knob, but so far she doesn't seem to be making that connection very well. With time, perhaps she will pick it up.
