Breakthrough!

Our little girl had a breakthrough on Tuesday. As some of you know, potty training is difficult, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Tuesday evening, Khloe walked from our living room over to her gated pen (located in the kitchen) and went pee on her pad. I was so overjoyed I couldn't contain myself. I must have given her 10 treats in 30 seconds. (Note - this picture was not taken when she was actually going to the bathroom)

Khloe's been so much fun but also a lot of work. Getting up in the middle of the night for her much needed bathroom breaks, bath-time, veterinary visits; it's all worth it though. She's even escaped from her pen a few times. It's atleast 2 1/2 feet tall, but she uses it as a ladder, tumbles over and spends all day upstairs presumably in our bedroom. It worries me that she may spend the day without food, water and toys but I think we found a solution. Last night I riggered something up using a shower curtain and zip ties so we'll see how she does. Sometimes I can be pretty handy. I'm sure we'll have many more excitements and Khloe adventures to report. Stay tuned.
