Lets start with Christmas… asked Emma what she wants and she said she wants three things from Santa. A cash register, a computer like mommy’s (pink) and a sleeping bag. I asked her what she wants from daddy and she said a boy Bratz kid for her girl one. Finally I asked her what she wants from mommy and she said that she has a lot of toys already. I asked her if she wants clothes and she said no. She then said that I can buy for another little girl who doesn’t have a lot of toys. I asked her again to make sure and that’s what she wanted. So this Christmas Emma’s going to help me buy for another little girl instead of getting a present from me. I’m not sure if fully understands this but we’re so very proud of her!!

Let me slip in some cleaning stuff… our house is a mess!!! I could only clean parts of the upstairs and very little of the downstairs. Got laundry all started and dried though and most of the clothes put away. That’s it. Pathetic, huh? Damn!

Max… he’s off and on with peeing. For public pissing… he simply can’t. He’d be an awesome Singapore resident! For peeing outside, well, he’s unlike most dogs. He can’t just touch grass and pee. He has to walk around a bit and then pee. This can range from a few seconds to five minutes outside. After 5 minutes though he goes back in his crate. I know he’s older and he might just have a stronger bladder but I just don’t want to take the chance him pissing inside. So ok, maybe I should take him out every 1.5 to 2 hours instead but it’s still nerve wreaking, watching him like a hawk so that he won’t pee in the laundry room… fortunately his only spot downstairs.

Besides that, he’s awesome. He poops anywhere and he is doing well in puppy school… the most behaved puppy! Between the buck crazy Toto and I want to eat my leash Rover, Max is super good and I can’t complain. He’d sit right next to me and stay. We’ve been practicing at home but at home he’s never as good as when we’re in public. So good for me I guess shows how awesome I am of a dog trainer, ha!!
