Maggie Clemontine - Day 2

Tyranosaurus Riggs on Behavior - Tue, December 04 2007

DaY 2 with the newbie, Maggie a/k/a "Whine-ster" (shh, don't tell my mom I said that,she gets mad) went better than day 1. I even showed her how to potty outside in the backyard. Hey, I do my part okay, its not as if I make her piddle on the floor! The only thing that sucks is that I have to take her out all the time now! I go potty like 55 times a day! Its cold outside you know? But I try to talk to my mom and she just mumbles gibberish to me. The little sneak even got to sleep up on my bed for a couple hours last night! I was like hey, that's where I draw the darn line! It took me 7 months of crate-sleeping to earn that privilege and I'm not about to let some stinkin' baby whiner pee-body jump right up there and nap all night! That's why I laughed when they put her back in her crate, eheheheheh. One good thing though, she's soo cute, I think she's growing on me! (Don't tell dad that though)

Riggs, watching my big brother is how I learned to do lots of things when I was little. You are both soo adorable.

At least you get to mold her the way you want to, man! When our Maggie came into my life, she was already full grown and full of attitude that I didn't need! I bet day 3 will be even better...

She's pretty cute! My brother, Linus, was a total whiner when he came to live with us. It drove me crazy. He grew out of it after about a month. Good luck!

I didn't whine. I cried. I missed my brothers and sisters and Lucy was mean to me at first. It sounds like you are being pretty nice to Maggie C.

Well, it sounds like you're makin' up to her slowly....that's good....don't give into her every whim. Let her know who has seniority and who's not afraid to use it around there. It's good you're teachin' her stuff too. Sounds like you're a perfect brother. My mama says you both are adorable, so I may be a little jealous now. Bark at ya later.
