you've cuddled with a big stinky dog the size of an adult human. Have I ever mentioned that? Hiro has been spending alot of time indoors lately (thanks to the wonderful shock collar) and it's actually been really fun. She's a huge girl (I'm guessing 115lbs) but she'll curl up on the floor in front of the sofa and just chill. No jumping. No barking. Just cuddling. You can lay your head on her, prop your feet on her, and because she's so big and strong she doesn't even notice.
When she's inside she is so peaceful and loving. It reminds me why we made the crazy decision to get a ginormous dog in the first place. But, she's not perfect and still hasn't fully gotten the hang of the whole house training thing. Not that she's ever had an accident upstairs, but Thomas has had to do more than his fair share of mopping in the basement. So, that begs the question, anyone have any tried and true suggestions for getting a dog over that potty training hump and into habit of having no accidents whatsoever? Her only problem is the overnight thing and she outgrew her crate ages ago so we're pretty much at a loss for next steps...
