oh no! I am out there with him at every moment. we live on a road everyone calls the Princeville Speedway (p-ville's my town). The road is kindof a loop and as soon as schools out the high school kids fly down it on their afterschool cruises! they've been yelled at more than once by everyone and we now have a cop that sits on the road. I don't want Bull to get hit. I'd have to hit someone myself! He's ususally on a leash, but I let him off it just to check out all the new snow! Potty training is going great since all the advice everyone offered and I calmed down about it! I was expecting a lot. He's starting to surprise me. He whines and when I come to the kitchen he goes to the door! Pretty amazing I think, being how young he is. Accidents have been rare lately, usually just one piddle puddle all night! Plus I stay with him on one side of the house...I'm trying to keep him a secret from the little girl next door. She'd be constantly over if she knew I had him. She did it with the kittens. "will you bring out the kittens now?" Sonetimes I do, but I don't want to be ambushed everytime I pull in the drive or go outside. She tends to hound people!
