Potty Training

I had planned to begin the potty training process as soon as Hana Grace turned 18 months old. You know me, I have been reading and reading and reading about it. One of the tips is not to start potty training during a stressful time in your life. Doing so could cause the kid to associate potty training with stress and/or sadness. With everything that's going on with the pooch, I decided the postpone potty training. However, Aunt Victoria came over last night to visit and got Hana to tee tee in her potty! O.M.G. And I missed it! Joe caught me teared up after the fact and thought I might be sad that I missed her using hte potty for the first time. LOL! No way! Well, maybe a little, but I get to see lots of her firsts. I am just happy that he and Aunt Victoria got to witness this big milestone for themselves. I was teared up over the pup - again.

So far today, I am embracing this strange sense of calm that has overtaken me. Pagan's paws seem to have, once again, doubled in size over night and to say they are "oozing puss and blood" is an understatement. Right now I am calm, later I'm sure I will be a mess. The night time is harder for me. I imagine it's because I don't have too much time to think during the day. Thank you all for your kind words. One day at a time, right?
