Oh Gus

I am still struggling to house break him. Usually he gives me a sign that he needs to go out by walking to where the puppy pad use to be and he will stop and look at me.. Which that's all fine and good unless I am not sitting there to see him..

I got the bells to hang by the door in hopes he would learn that way to let us know. Nope! I gave it just over a month and took them down as it was bothering my others dogs ears. As I would jangle them anytime I took them out.

I take Gus out often and when he goes Ohhhh he is praised to the moon and back and he gets a very expensive bit of a treat.. Thats the only time he gets that treat.

Steve and I have tossed the idea of a doggie door around alot.. It would be a very small door just for him, hes only 8 lbs. When I let him out during the day he stays close to the house and the pasture. Then he will scratch the door when he is ready to come back in. Once its dark he won't leave the porch unless we walk out with him and I am fine with that. We have Fox and Bobcats roam around at night and he would look like a good size rabbit to them.

In other news I am making homemade egg rolls tonight, they are very easy to make.. Are they diabetic friendly ? No not really... But I kinda don't care today.. Our A1C levels run 5.3 to 5.8 so that is fantastic ! So once or twice a month I make something that we really could never eat often like before.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend
