Sophie and her Squirrel Obsession

We have good and bad days with our new puppy. She chews lots of stuff if we leave her home alone too long. The worst was Zach's beanbag but we were able to sew it back together. We love her though so every time we get upset with her, we can't bring ourselves to put her up for adoption.

It's almost like having a toddler in the house again. She spends most of her days watching for squirrels out the sliding glass door. As soon as she wakes, she starts her watch. As soon as you open the door, she runs for the trees and stands up to bark at them. We started throwing a bucket of water on her for her excessive barking and that has worked well. She is lot of fun and she sure makes us get out everyday to exercise her and ourselves. Otherwise she goes crazy in the house with all her energy. Great incentive for us. We need to register her for obedience classes and maybe therapy classes if she does well enough. We'd love to turn her into a therapy dog even if its just for dyslexic students.
