For the past couple of weeks it has seemed like for every step forward we’ve taken two steps back. With that in mind, I hesitate to say that we are now settling into a comfortable routine. The puppies are growing by leaps and bounds! My daughter really noticed the difference when she was home this week. Housebreaking has advanced to the point that we’re willing to allow them into other parts of the house under close supervision. Probably a mistake, but we’ve also been allowing them on the furniture in the living room…. a habit Betty and Esther (and JJ) had to break when we bought new sofas a number of years ago.
Right now the most pressing matter is Alice’s inability to “hold it” all night. She appears to be a bit ADHD, so I don’t know if she just has trouble sleeping soundly or what. Mabel doesn’t seem to have any problem with it. Other than that, it’s just the usual ups and downs of dealing with inquisitive, chewing, often naughty puppies!
Alice looks more like a German Shepherd now than a Rottie.
Still haven't determined the predominant breed in Mabel.
Trouble looking for somewhere to happen!

They're so gorgeous. I'm jealous.
I cracked up at Alice's splayed out back legs as she lay there looking up at your camera. Cute dogs.
LOL! Debby, I think you're looking at Alice's tail in that picture! (even though both puppies do "frog legs" at times)
I just got an e-mail from my go-to person on dogs and she said to give Alice some time to mature some more as far as making it through the night.
Looking again, you are absolutely correct. I may need to begin to wear my reading glasses for more than just books. Sigh.
OMG, they are so adorable, I almost want one!
Glad things are calming down for you some. I'm ready for Spring myself. Sarah told me they got snow today again in Tennessee, so I shouldn't complain!
Look at those big ol' babies!! They are really settling in from the looks of it!
*sigh* They'll be grown by the time I get to see them!
So cute and so naughty!
They are sooo cute and growing! I did not know that animals could have ADHD but it makes since as they get other diseases that humans have. Bed wetting at night and ADHD are a common correlation in children so maybe it works that way with dogs too. Hang in there!
So cute! Here is your official invitation to come back to the O! board. Everyone is asking for you!!!
