Slept through the night!
My first night of sleeping throught the night without a 3 am "let me out cry". It felt great.
The dogs seem to get along. I do hear the puppy yelp. I don't know if it is because she is biting Hershey and Hershey had enough or...
Josie does like to fall asleep close to us. After eating dinner I find her asleep under our chairs. She get her second set of shots on Friday. I look forward to the time when I can walk her.

Josie and Hershey Play
I have walked Josie in the LLBean back pack with it in the front. She seems to like her walks but she is heavy. I need to get a picture of us. Hershey loves to run free at Bernal school.

Josie
Today she has messed inside twice :(
She is playing with Hershey. I am glad she has a friend. It was raining this morning when I was suppose to take them out on a walk. I take Josie in a backpack which I wear in front. She tries to jumpt out of it on our walks.

Wednesday, April 20 Update
So far my neighbor Earl has been coming over everyday that I have to work and let Josie out of the grade to help stop puppy accidents. Monday he stayed until 4 pm. Tuesday he was there we I came home sick from school. He seems to be enjoying her. I am so lucky he can help out.
Today Ramon came to clean my house. It was so dirty where the dogs are: locked in the kitchen, eating area, and family room. As I am typing the dogs are playing with a toy together. Ramon did hold Josie today and said he wants to hold her before she gets too big and barks at him.
Last night Larry had to wash Josie from an accident in the crate. :(
I found marks in my sink in the hard surface that looks like it has been damaged. Perhaps puppy claws are too sharp for that surface. We will have to wash her in the laundry room sink. She is so fun to watch as she slides around. Of course when Hershey takes the toy, Josie goes flying.
My aide's sons are going to watch Josie and Hershey the two days we go to San Diego. I hope that goes well. I am nervous but it will be fun to have a break. I can't edit my blogs from school because blogs are blocked at work. Nice!
I am trying out new dog food. California Natural and Innova. I don't know what one is best. Today Hershey ate too much rawhide too fast and lost her dinner. It was fun trying to clean it up before she or Josie could re-eat it. Ugh. The joys of dogs.

Saturday, April 16
The day begins by having to take the new puppy to graduate school with me at Santa Clara University. I am in the Level 2 program for the Special Education credential. I can't leave a brand new puppy at home for 8 hours alone on her first day with me.
So I pack up a backpack for her with paper towels, Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day spray, chew toys, Science Diet puppy food, water bowl, water bottle and I am off. Hershey is in her create and barking. She wants to go too. The puppy cries in the car. I tried to fit her in a small dog carrier but a 7 weeks she is already too tall. I need to return it to Petco.
The class welcomes the puppy. Overall she does not disturb the class too much. Another student brings her daughter who was nice enough to bring the puppy outside when she needed it. The puppy only had one accident and loves to sleep on my feet.
After returning home, I walked her over to Earl's house but the garage door was down so I assumed he was out. I was tired of holding the puppy when I got home. Hershey enjoyed the walk. I can't wait until all her shots are complete.
The funny thing that happened was I ran into the bathroom and heard her touch her bag of food. Then I hear her wining. I run into the room where I find her head down in her food bag, with her eating as much as she can, while her body in up in the air. She is completely stuck but quite happy. I have to keep the food bag locked up.

Today Andrew and I drove to Merced to pick up our new puppy. There were two females to choose from with both looking similar. We watched them for a while and then chose the one who seemed the calmest. We still can't decide on a name. I wanted Josie for San Jose, Nathan liked Sandy, Andrew like Tahoe, and Larry likes Honey Bear.
It took about 4 hours round trip. The puppy sat in the back with Hershey. Hershey did not seem very interested in her.
Later that afternoon, I took the puppy out in a backpack that was turned around so she could be in front. We walked to Earl's house. I met his wife but he was on the phone with his brother. I want to know if he would take the puppy out of the crate while I am at work.
The first night was hard. She cried for 45 minutes and then slept 4 hours. I work up and took her out where she peed and pooped. I thought wow, I might have a chance at this potty training.
When I put her back in her crate she cried for 2 1/2 hours. When I could stand it no longer I got up but she was quiet. To sleep again is wonderful. Now why did I get a puppy?
