UPDATED - Elanor's Photo Gallery
I've posted new pics to Elanor's Photo Gallery. My new digital camera came today (yes, I DID buy a new digital camera just to take puppy pictures... what can I say?) and I've enjoyed trying it out. The most convenient thing it offers for puppy pictures is its big zoom lens - it lets me get great close-ups of her, and it also lets me "sneak up" on her when she's playing from across the room, so she never even knows I'm paying attention. I've only posted a half-dozen new pics, but I think they're showing the promise of things to come. =)
Elanor herself has had a mixed bag these last couple days... some really good moments, and some pretty naughty ones. She's getting good at going outside, but it seems like she's forgotten everything she ever knew about puppy pads inside. She hasn't been on the pad once today, even in her own room, where she's gone about four times today. She even made a big pile on the floor, just minutes after being outside. Grrrrrr...
She gets by on cutes and being little. It was easier last week to remind myself how little she was, and that she didn't know any better. This week the trouble is that I'm pretty sure she DOES know better, at least a little bit. Last week she knew all about puppy pads, and this week she ignores them. *sigh* I'm going to need to have my whole main floor steam cleaned once she's housebroken.
(And then, it happens - just as I'm writing about my despair at her good sense, she walks up to the puppy pad unannounced, crouches, and makes a pile. Lavish praise, of course. And one thing becomes clear: I know absolutely nothing about puppies!)
One thing's for certain - having Ellie this week has tired me out. She sleeps through the night just fine now, but it's still only about six hours, and we're not so good with naps yet. I'm an eight to nine hour kind of boy, so I'm dragging. And since I've been out of soda (and thus also out of caffeine), I don't have any nice chemical to make up the balance between her energy and mine. It's ten now, and I'm seriously thinking about crashing.
