Her name is Luce - it means bright light in Italian (according to the dictionary lol) . She is a Miniature Poodle and weighs in about 10lb. 8 oz. (2 weeks ago) Hopefully she won't get much bigger, I think she is perfect! :)
She is my first dog as an adult - when I was a kid Mom took care of them! It has been a lot more time and work then expected - especially since Glenn hasn't been helping much with her. Since I don't speak puppy, everything has taken longer then I thought - at least the potty training has.
The trainer was thrilled to have her in class and used her as a "demo" puppy! It's amazing how quick she picked up on commands. Any issues with her training are due to my deficiencies - not paying attention if she needs to potty, not being consistent enough, not working with her enough, not fill in the blank. I really thought Glenn was going to be more involved with her since he's the one who's been wanting a dog for over 10 years! Oh well, it is what it is - she's stuck with me lol.
Just a little unsolicited advice for anyone who wants a puppy. Get one about 4 months old and comes potty trained! lol. Yes she was freak'in cute at 8 weeks but those first 2 months I had her were pretty stressful - especially since I was basically alone. I barely remember what I did with her through the week between training classes - aside from working that is.
