Yeah, this is my sister's first dog that she's had since she was seven. Her husband hasn't had a puppy in over 10 or so years, so I guess you could say that this is their "first", lol. What makes it even worse is that my sister doesn't know if she can have kids (and I don't know about me either) so this is basically her child! She's really upset, because the poor thing's paw pads are all pretty beaten up!

She called yesterday though and said that she moved the crate into their master bedroom, so that way she will be sleeping with them, in a sense. She said that it is sort of working, but sort of not. She jammed her whole (huge) paw between the crate bars and the black litter pan thing that slides underneath it, in her excitement to see them the other day. They're taking her to the vet - actually, since I'm puppysitting and the appointment is tomorrow, I guess that would be me whose taking Cody to the vet! LOL.
