NEW DISCOVERIES


   Beasley has had a week filled with all kinds of new fun.  She's discovered that there is a downstairs in the house.  She will only go to the bottom step but she loves going up and down them. She'll sit or stand on the bottom step, sniff the floor, come back up and repeat. 

She has discovered her voice and is barking more. Well... I'm not sure if I would call it a bark just yet, but she is definitely talking.  She even did it while looking out the window once.  And this morning, she joined in the choir with the other dogs while I was making them breakfast. 

She found out there is a new dog in the mirror.  She jumps at the mirror (and looks like a frog doing it), jumps back, runs around the house,  jumps at the mirror, jumps back again.... repeat.

She is now eating her vitamins and I bought some mini biscuits and she can chew them. I still give her soft treats but I think the crunch is good for their teeth so I'm happy that she can do that.  She also found the cat box.  I'm not so thrilled about that new discovery.  Stinky and Arthur already think it's a cookie jar so I have to keep the gate up but they sneak in sometimes. 

She really loves her toys, the plush ones.  It's very adorable.  But she is still afraid to go outside.  It's a little better at times and yesterday, I took her out with the leash, unhooked it while we were on the deck and she went down to the yard and went potty on her own and ran right back. I was thrilled, especially after walking her for about 20 minutes around the fence in the rain the other morning.  I tried it again later and no such luck. 

I think her favorite thing is snuggling in the bed. She looks at me every morning as if to say "Please mommy, I don't want to get up yet".
