Hello! Thank you so much for the kind welcome. I will certaintly be getting a crate, I have heard very good things about them.

Riley is doing okay with the training, she hasn't so much done many number 2's in the house as she has number 1's, it seems that I put her out, she runs around outside for 10 minutes or so, whines to come in then as soon as I do she piddles. LOL She is such a cutie though. I just love her.

Oh and yes she already has a chew problem, she expecially likes my feet and legs. My poor toddler, the puppy pushes her down and starts nipping at her and she can't get up cause the puppy pushes her back on so my older daughter (4) always comes to the rescue.

The puppy gets into everything, a friend of mine came over and the puppy went into her coat and ate a loose cigarette she had in there! I was so mad and upset, but she told me it wouldn't make her sick, so far it hasn't. Should I be worried?

I did wonder why the puppy was being sold so young. I knew the ideal age was 8 weeks and she was only 6 when she was taken to the pet store. The puppy came all the way from Quebec, I am in Ontario.

Thanks so much for the kind advice and again for the kind welcome.
