That being said, Betty has started to get a little more comfortable in our house, for good and for bad. :) Fairly certain that she is now potty trained, we've allowed her to walk around the house a little bit more and explore, thought most of the time we always keep our eye on her. She loves sitting near my mom's feet -- whether she's at the dining table, the computer, the sofa, etc. One time while my mom was sitting at the table and thought Betty was asleep at her feet, she heard a little scratching-like noise. She looked directly down, but it was too late. Betty was chewing on the furniture! Though my mom quickly removed her from the area, she later returned to the scene of the crime and continued her chew. Here is a picture of the chair in question:
The funny part is that she's only chewed on this particular chair and this particular leg. It's a mystery to us.
Betty is big on chewing in general. She has multiple chew toys, but still tries to chew on my mom's hand and my arm. We are trying our best to break her of the habit. She also loves to play around and chew on her toy dog, which is always funny because the dog is a little bigger than she is. Here are two pics with her and her dog: one in action and one looking up at the camera.
Betty's also gotten more comfortable around the house when resting. While she has a little bed that we call "The Betty Bed" that sits on the couch, she also likes to lay on the couch itself, especially after my mom has gotten up. She sits in my mom's spot as if she's keeping it warm for her. Here are two cute pictures of Betty on the couch.
Overall, Betty's been such a sweet, loving dog. She's a big hit at the vet's office and is much better behaved than the other dogs. She's still a little timid of new people at first, but is slowly coming around. After her next and final round of vaccines, I can finally take her on a walk and take her to puppy school! I can't wait!
In other news, Betty has a brand new friend who loves her to pieces. My dad got home from Italy last Sunday and has loved Betty ever since. Betty is still getting used to him, but she loves it when he plays with her and likes to sit on his tummy and watch soccer -- it's a match made in heaven. Here's a cute pic of the two of them.
Other exciting news -- at PETCO there is a t-shirt for dogs that says "Puppy's First Christmas." You better believe I'm going to get it for her! The only problem is that I don't know what size to get yet. When we went to the vet on Friday, Betty had gained almost a pound in one month! Hopefully I can guess and purchase the correct size for her. The shirt is too cute to pass up!
