We love her to bits, she brings a smile to our faces every day. Nights have been the worst part, she was crying at varying times during the night (we’re using a crate in the hall) and whilst we were ignoring her it was disrupting sleep badly.

Best we had was a 5.30am wake up but invested in a snuggle puppie with the heat pouch and heartbeat. Came y’day and last nite she slept from 10pm until 7am when we came down to check. She was still asleep! So that is a huge result!

So no it’s the next stages of toilet training, she won’t go outside but will always choose newspaper inside. We’re trying to get that sorted now.

She’s changing already but we’re loving every minute and she’s settled in well.

Lucky is gorgeous… reminds me of the day nearly 2 years ago when we bought home out 2 little bundles in the shape of Jack Russell Pups….!

They turned our life upside down, and we wouldn’t be without them! They’re great to come home to! Although Jane now works nights os they are rarely on their own at all.

They’re off to the vets on Tuesday – Castration looms…. sadly choice on one of them was taken out of our hands as one has undescended, but feel very cruel getting the other done, but am assured that it is in his best interest to prevent anything dodgy in the future.

Enjoy Lucky – and relish everyday as they grow so fast!

Currently the major goals are toiletting and sleeping through the night, both progressing well so we’ll get there in the end but we know there are many hurdles and milestones to go! Doesn’t matter though as we’re loving the new family member and the challenges she brings!

As we’re a few months ahead of you (Scruffy the Wheaten is now 71/2 months) and training aids have move on loads since I last had a pup in the late 80′s, can I recommend two things we’ve discovered you might find useful (if used correctly) in the coming months if you experience certain behaviour / training problems?
