Well, now that my kids are both in school I was feeling a little lonely, despite having the dcks here. SOOOO...I got a puppy! She's 7 months old, so at least the potty training is done (well, mostly). BUT, she's still a puppy! Today was the first day and of course she was super excited and the kids were super excited and it was a little nutty at times.
At least the way my house and daycare are set up it's very easy to gate her off in areas. Around lunch everyone finally calmed down and if they leave her alone, she leaves them alone.
She even came and helped my tuck them all in for naps.
Anyone else have puppies or any words of advice. The parents were all pretty okay with it, which I knew ahead of time, but one seemed a little thrown off this morning. I just tried to make her feel confident about it and of course her little guy was the most nervous around the puppy! So he'd run away, and being a puppy she'd chase him and jump on him! But, like I said, with the gates it was all good. I figure if we got through this morning, it will only get better from here as everyone gets used to eachother...
