Puppy Tales

*Being a single parent to a puppy is exhausting. NavyGuy was gone most of yesterday, and had another flight this morning, so I was on my own with Tally. And that puppy can't be left alone for a minute! We're trying to be really diligent about her housebreaking, so we have to watch her like a hawk every second. Which basically means I haven't gotten anything done for two days. It took me twenty minutes to unload the dishwasher yesterday morning because every six seconds Tally needed to be told to stop eating the kitchen rug/fridge door/cabinet knob. I mean don't get me wrong - she was adorable doing it, attacking the mean 'ole cabinet knob like a tough girl - but seriously, I need to shower!

*Tally has mastered the stairs. She started out terrified to venture up or down any stairs in the house, but now she gets this excited look on her face and takes a running leap. It's pretty amusing - especially when she trips and slides down a step :)
