Getting the hang of home

22 August 2026

Day two of having her, and the whole point of today was just repetition: home is safe, we're predictable, going to the toilet outside is a good idea, and paying attention to us is worth her while.

Outdoor toilet training kept going well. She had a few wobbly, whiny moments (new puppy in a new house, completely normal), and instead of leaving her to cry it out, we just stayed calm and reassuring. No drama, no rules broken, just a small dog figuring out that being unsure is allowed and someone will be there.
