Tinker and I headed over to Nana and Papa's this afternoon and again, she was a saint. Sat in the car the whole ride over and back, sat nicely for Nana and for Papa.... slept on my coat during lunch and peed outside like a good girl. Her only bad habit is snoring and no one is faulting her for it : ) It was a nice time visiting and Tink was good as Nana held her. It was so cute to watch her sitting there. It was a wonderful visit : )
Tinker is a bit possessive of mommy when daddy gets home, however. She will easily sleep in her bed for hours during the day as i get things done around the house, but as soon as daddy gets home Tink will not leave mommy alone. What a brat : ) its tough, she's so good with so many things, but i need to keep reminding myself that its been less than a week. She's still going to get nervous when we leave, she still wants to stake her ground and she's still getting used to the environment. Once she realizes we always come back, i'm sure she'll be less nervous.
We're starting to get a better routine down and Tink isn't having nearly as many accidents. I know i can't wait even 5 minutes after she eats else she'll pee. (she's good at training her people!) And while we snuggle a lot she is learning that we can't snuggle all the time. At dinner she stays in her bed and in the car she stays in her seat (of course the harness helps with that!)
I do want to get some nylabones and a kong if i can find a small enough one eventually as Charli suggested. I watched her pace inside the kitchen gate last night and something tells me no toy is going to help that yet... but with time i'm sure she'll settle. She's just so much fun to have around. Since we've gotten her, i havent had to take my "itchy medication" as often, which is nice too. (wow that was a random paragraph!)
I'm going out tonight and Nick's staying home with Tink... it will be interesting to see how she settles in with him. I'll have Nick write about the experience. It will be good bonding time too. She's such a snuggle muffin!
