Sylvie - Foster #2

So, after 2 weeks with only 2 dogs - the Humane Society called Meghan again in need of our home. On Thursday our newest foster dog joined our home. She came to us nameless - and was quickly named Sylvie. She is a 4 week old Terrier Mix (yes, that means she is tiny). She is tiny and not potty trained. Since she is so small, she cant go outside and potty because of the cold, so we are trying to Potty train her using the potty pads.. It works sometimes. When we take her out of her kennel and put her on the pad she will go right away and she has walked over to it to potty a few times.. But, she hasnt quite gotten the hang of it, that she needs to go over there ALL the time..

I dont know.. She is really cute though, and very cuddly.. That I have decided for sure.. otherwise, I dont really miss having a puppy.. they are cute, but they can be lots of work.. Meghan and I spent 30 minutes (at least) last night trying to get her to potty... She hadnt gone in a while, and just woke up from napping inside meghan's sweatshirt (long story) and we knew that she would have to potty, but she refused to go.. Absolutely refused.. so, we refused to let her get down and play.. finally, after about an hour - at least - she pottied..

I will post a picture soon - i just have to take my camera home so that I can!!
