Work

August 31, 2020

It has been more than three weeks since I posted in this blog. That is because puppies are exhausting and the fall semester (online) has started. I'm very, very tired. Lily, on the other hand, goes back and forth from being very, very tired to very, very energetic with little in between.

Today is the second full week of classes at Clemson and I wanted to write a bit before I start work. I figured if I don't do it now, it could be another three weeks before I post.

Things Lily can do:

Sit
Shake hands when you say "Hello"
Stay (sort of)
Come
Climb into Adirondack chairs (including Leslie's on the sun porch which I'm pretty sure Lily now thinks is hers)
Eat mushrooms (we are trying to be very vigilant about this so it doesn't happen. Not good for pups)
Give a high five when you say, "Go Army!"
Go to her room
Fetch
Drop it (most of the time)
Swim (her favorite thing)

(pause)

I think that's most everything right now. 

She is very smart, so we have to keep her busy. 
She is also biting a lot because she is teething, so we have to keep her teeth busy.

She gets up every morning at pretty much exactly 6 a.m.
We're trying to figure out bedtime, but she tends to sleep through the night except for one potty break. Sometimes if she has food leftover from dinner she'll also have a snack and a drink of water.

She really, really wants to get on the bed. I've put her there a couple of times, but not for long because she either bites me after initial cuddles or starts chewing on the comforter.

I love her very, very much.

Michelle.
