As close as possible..

I just have to say, Monsoon is completely almost trained.

She was potty trained last year and we considered that trained, but she still chewed on everything. This was fine until she pulled a Giada de Laurentiis cookbook off the bottom shelf of a bookcase last year and chewed right through the introduction and soup pages. Then, it was not fine.

Lately we started leaving her out of the kennel while we were gone. At first, just for 20 minutes and then this weekend 4 hours and no problemo! Yay! She's a big girl now (She'll be 2 next month).

Here are some pictures from a few weeks ago, when she kept Jason company during his run with the cold/flu:

At first, she's just cozy with her dad on the couch (& that hideous Bears blanket...)

Now, she's snuggled up even closer but she's trying to act very nonchalant.

And now she is as close as possible, such a brat!
