Getting a small puppy to play is pretty easy; you don't have to do that much to entertain her and it is quite fun for you to watch as well!<BR/>2. Get her a "baby." It will comfort her to have a little friend to sleep with and it will give her someone to take care of and love forever! Madelynne still has hers from her very first day at home!<BR/>3. Wrap a clock in a blanket and tuck it into Ceres' bed. The ticking will remind her of a heart beating and should be pretty comforting for her. It sounds funny but it really does work.<BR/>4. Be sure to have Ceres on a pretty normal routine. I know it's difficult with a bustling household, but a puppy needs that routine. It will help her control/train her bladder.<BR/>5. As much as you hate to leave a crying puppy alone, DO IT! By going to her every time she cries, you are training her to cry. Quite the opposite of what you want!<BR/><BR/>Those are just a few tricks that I have picked up about my furry little friends! I hope they work for you, and if not, pull her into bed with you! Who doesn't want a little cuddly hot water bottle to sleep with every night! haha just kidding. Hope you're well, and keep up the great blogging! I love reading it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425373039010348634noreply@blogger.com
