What have you been doing today?

Doing well with the puppy training. She had a little grizzle when I shut her in her crate last night around 11.15 and that lasted about 10 mins after I’d turned the light out and had gone upstairs. We were watching her on the monitor and it took all our will not to go down to her but she’s got to learn to settle down by herself. I got up for a wee about 3.30 and it was all quiet so I went down to let her out in the garden for a wee (they only have tiny bladders at this age). She had a wee, I put her back in the crate and went back to bed. She grizzled for a couple of minutes and settled down. I got up at 6.00 this morning and she was wagging her tail so I let her out without making a fuss of her. So far, touch wood, she hasn’t had a poo anywhere other than in the garden.

Currently full of beans playing with her toys but I know in about 10 mins time she will nod off for an hour or two. Just like a real baby!

Training them is tough to shut off emotionally and as you say will power to not give in. Luckily with Boo she is so easy to train which really surprised me but then she is 5 years old. However she has never been a pet before and was just a money machine for all of her life with little love given or shown towards her. She is getting used to being a pet now and we are persevering with training her to become a pet.

Another point Mottie is a well trained dog is a much happier dog as you know and they love to please you so training is an essential part of turning them into a more loveable dog. You are a responsible owner and you can tell that you and Mrs Mottie love that dog.

Haven't been out on my bike for at leat 8 months now, so off for a ride out whilst the weather is still nice.
 
A bit more of a tidy up over the allotment this morning. Bloody tomatoes! I think I’ve seen the last of 'em. Harvested a few more to distribute among friends and neighbours.

In the end I just pulled most the plants up and chucked them on my pile I’m building for bonfire night. I’ve had enough tomatoes for this year.

Gonna settle down now and watch the Singapore Grand Prix.
