Hi Stacey,
Everything is going great! Zella is such a sweet girl, we can’t get enough of her!
She just passed her first puppy training class and did very well 🙂 she is very social and loves people and other dogs. She recently got all her vaccinations so we are now taking her to the dog park. She loves socializing! She can be a little too friendly with the big dogs, it makes me nervous sometimes 🙂
Potty training is going well. We are moving into a bigger place with a dog door next month, so that should make things easier! Crate training has also been great! It really helps that she was already introduced to the crate before we took her home. She sleeps through the night and usually wakes up at 630 every morning.
She is growing so fast I can’t believe it. She weighs about 18 pounds and is gaining a pound a week. Still not sure how big she will end up being! She is starting to lose her baby teeth and big teeth are already coming in! She loves to chew A LOT!
We have taken her out on my parent’s boat several times and she loves the water! On the boat, she won’t relax until we have put her in the water to swim! She loves it.
You should have warned us of all the interest we would get in our dog! 🙂 We can’t go anywhere without people asking what kind of dog she is and commenting on how beautiful her coloring is. She hasn’t gotten a haircut yet, so it’s still undetermined if she will lose all the brown. It looks like it is mostly just on the tips of her hair.
Thanks for checking in! We think we got a pretty special girl and we love her so much!
