Marilyn

This is Marilyn is in Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn was born Superbowl weekend and I got her this past Saturday March 12, 2011 at just 5 weeks. I was told she's a Jack Russell/ Boston Terrier Mix. Very adorable and is as lovable as can be. She's very smart and I'm happy to have gotten her when I did. It's only been 4 days since I've had her and she's already potty trained and knows where her bed and food is. I knew the first day I got her she was gonna go to the restroom left and right so I decided stay on top of things and take her outside to use the restroom 15 min after she eats and as soon as she wakes up. Like I said before, I've only had her for 4 days and at times when I don't see her wake up, she gets out of her bed and starts crying. By her crying I know it could be of two reasons; One, she's hungry. Two, she needs to use the restroom. So I go towards her and have her follow me towards her food, she looks at it and looks back at me and continues to cry. So I take her out and there she goes.... doing the restroom. I bring her in and she goes straight to her bed which is in the living-room or to her food which is in the kitchen. :)

I always have her bed on the same spot in the living-room but at night I put her bed in my room. In the morning when I wake up I'll put her bed back in the living-room on the same spot. Well, this morning I didn't put her bed in the living-room right away and when she was done eating her food she ran towards the empty spot where her bed was and started crying. lol I thought is was so cute. I grab her bed from my bedroom and placed her bed where it's always is in the living room and she just jumped right in and fell sleep again. I already want to train her tricks and such but have no idea when's a good time. I mean she has a great memory already so I'm guessing maybe in 2 more weeks? Well that's my story for ya. Thanks for listen to Marilyn's story.
