"Bentley" (Patton) from Buffalo, New York~


Hi Sue


It's 7 pm on Friday 8/3/2012 and 94 degrees here in Buffalo and no breeze. Bentley wants to come and visit so he can enjoy the air conditioned kennels!! We only have an a/c unit in our bedroom.

Report card week 2
This week he mastered up and down stairs. He found his "voice" on Thursday when was chasing a ball in the back yard. He is sleeping from about 9 pm to either 4:30 or 5 am when I get up. No crying at all in the crate for night time! Working on "come Bentley". I am using Beniful dog food as reward treats. They are small and different from his food and no digestive downfalls.

I have the living room gated and he tries like heck to get to "the forbidden land". Like all puppies he likes to bite. Instead of saying "no" I am using "ouch" in a strong voice and it seems to be deterring him from the nibbling.
Hope all is going well.

Best to you and yours!

Kathy. Buffalo NY

Note from Sue:

        The "kennels" Bentley is missing is just a separate room in my home that is for mama's and puppy-wuppies.  They have the A/C.  LOL   I only have fans in the other portions of the home where I and my family live.   hehehe
