Sorry I haven't been around for awhile, Sadie is definitely a handful!
She has been adjusting well. Two nights ago, and last night she slept from around 11pm to 6am. I am so proud of her and it's definitely a drastic change from getting up every 20 minutes to 1 hour the first night!
She's having trouble being on her own though, which we definitely expected. We started putting her in her x-pen and leaving her until she stops howling (it takes around a half hour) when our landlord isn't home, he lives downstairs. I am nervous to leave her all my herself tomorrow (tomorrow both OH and I have to go back to work) We have radios, kongs, everything it says to have for a dog to keep herself occupied, but I know she's still going to cry and it's going to break my heart. I just hope she doesn't cry all day - I definitely don't want the landlord to rethink letting us have her.
I'm also a little nervous I might be a little allergic to her! :yikes I don't think I am, but who knows. My eye was swollen almost shut last night. It started around 10pm and was soo strange! I took some benadryl and kept a hot compress on it, but it's still a little swollen this morning. I would think that the benadryl would have made it go away completely if I was allergic to her, but we'll see!
Tucker, my cat, is living with Sadie relatively quietly. He just keeps looking at her then looking at us almost wanting to say "what is this thing? why is it so small?" He's let her come up to him, but that's about it. His paw comes up to swat her when she starts to be pushy, but he's never hit her which makes me incredibly happy. The funny this is - he'll get up to run away from her and she'll think it's a game. It ends up with the cat on top of the coffee table trapped by this 4 pound puppy on the floor!
Sorry it's so long! I have to go read and catch up with everyone else now!
