Meet Isabella


Last night was our first night with Bella and she did a lot better than I thought she would. I got about 4 hours of sleep total and some of the lost hours were because I kept worrying she would do something she wasn't supposed to and I wouldn't be awake to catch it. DH and Lani slept out in the living room on the couch since he had to work this morning and the incessant whining wouldn't help at all.

She slept in her crate all night and woke up once at 2am to go to the bathroom, which, I'm proud to say she did on the paper she was supposed to in the kitchen.

Potty training has been going well so far with minor accidents (she's a pretty smart little pooch) and we're keeping a good eye on her to make sure she learns where she's supposed to go and catching her "in the act."



What I really love about her being so small is her puppy hair and the fact that I can hold her in my arms or in my lap. Before I know it she'll be shedding the thick and coarse hair rotties have and be way too big to sit in my lap.
