Hi! Newbie with some questions

[.sarah]

Labs are natural chewers, and this is most likely a battle you will fight for years. Buy her a lot of Nylabones (original flavor -- they can't devore (sp?) these as quickly!), this has worked wonderfully for both my Labs. Whenever they want to chew they generally grab that, although Nova slips up sometimes, but she's in my sight pretty much 100% of the time. We have a Nylabone for each floor level, but since we just got Luka they are now carrying them around the house so we are going to get 4-6 more. I also have them in my car for long car rides.

Your girl is very cute. Nova is that blonde color too but she has dark ears and hocks.

Yollie is about 8 1/2 weeks old, she hasnt had an accident in the house in 3 days. Lots of Outside, outside.. She jumps on the door and goes in a circle and wimpers to go out..she even had the runs one days and still didnt have an accident. I have a crate, but....She loves her daytime basket better and it has worked really well, even though she can jump out of it, she also lets me know when she wants in it..

Thanks so much! I do make sure to watch her when she goes out, to make sure she goes. Sometimes I go out with her too and give her lots of attention when she does go outside. Last night I put her food bowls up before bed time and since we don't have a crate yet I made a little spot for her in the house with baby gates. She did not go at ALL all night! I was so happy, then put her out right away and she did her business.

That's great news! How is she doing during the day?
