To those who read our blog and would prefer not to read something new every day about a dog: my apologies. But I figure I read enough blogs about children and the gross things they do, so this is some kind of blogging justice. Right.
That said - I've never been happier to be standing outside at 5:30 in the morning watching a dog pee. After another round of frustrations last night as Jessie first did #2 at my parents house, then came home and did #1 in our kitchen I was relieved (pun intended) that we at least would not have to worry about her messing in the bedroom during the night. So I got up this morning and, indeed, she had kept things clean. I got up, threw on my clothes from yesterday and took her outside. (And, might I mention, she now walks up and down the steps on her own - no more having to carry her like the first day and a half!) So after a couple minutes of pacing the front lawn chanting, "Just go pee.... Just go pee....," (as a website on house training said to do) she actually peed! This was followed by much belly rubbing & rejoicing, followed by a 15 minute celebratory walk around the block (again, per the website.) During this ensuing walk, she stopped and dropped a deuce after about 5 minutes. Again, I've never been so happy to see such a thing. Truly.
So now all I have to do is get ready for work and hope (for Melissa's sake) that Jessie isn't too wound up from a walk to go back to sleep for a couple of hours until Missy's ready to get up. (Did I mention I ushered Jessie back into the bedroom, as to avoid any destruction of property and/or hair on my uniform?)
Again, for those who would prefer not to read a blog about a dog's bathroom habits, I apologize. It's just where my world is at right now. :)

Well, unfortunately, we didn't go back to sleep. Even though she laid down for a little, I was wide awake. Then as I dosed off, she would pop her little head beside me. At 7am, we gave up. We went for a little walk. I cleaned up a little - man, it doesn't look like there's a lot of fur on the floor but there is. Now, I"m watching Saved By the Bell and Jessie is napping on her quilt - she's super cute. We're heading to the church in a little - pray that she's okay at the church, doesn't have any accidents, and I can still do some work. - - - Sorry, for all the deleted comments. I kept rereading it and it didn't make sense. I guess I'm more tired than I thought.
awesome! we've been offline for a couple of days, so we've just learned the great news. and i say as long as you don't start blogging about nursing a dog (ewww) then more power to you and your pooping stories :) as you said, it's only fair.
congrats :)
