I did what all pups do&#8230;sleep, play, eat, and sleep some more! But I also learned some stuffz&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nMy mom and dad put me to work right away, teaching me the basics: sit, stay, and come (heh, not my favorite). They try and bribe me with treats, which I gladly take. <\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/bell.jpg\" alt=\"Bell\" align=\"left\"\/>Potty training is a breeze! I mastered this in just a couple of weeks, which made my family <em>very <\/em>happy. They taught me to ring a bell when I had to go outside. Nala had been using the bell for years, so it was only fair that I learned how to work it too. The bell is shaped like a bunch of grapes, and it hangs really high up. I was originally taught the word, &#8220;out&#8221; with the bell, but after I learned how to ring the bell, I rang it every chance I got! lol So, now I&#8217;m asked if I need to &#8220;go potty&#8221; after I ring the bell. I personally like to hide behind the blinds instead of ringing the bell, but walking behind the blinds rings the bell for me, so it&#8217;s all good. I never had many accidents in the house anyway&#8230;I think I was born potty-trained! <\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/BaileyAndDaisy.jpg\" alt=\"Bell\" align=\"right\"\/>During this first month in my new home, I met many other of my doggie neighbors and made some friends. Let&#8217;s see&#8230;a few houses down there&#8217;s a boy mini dachshund and a girl who I think is half chihuahua. The boy doesn&#8217;t like me (what&#8217;s not to like?), but the girl and I got along well&#8230;that is until I got a little bigger! I think she&#8217;s scared of me now. Then there&#8217;s Yippee and Yappee (that&#8217;s not their real names, but that&#8217;s what my family calls them). Why do small dogs bark like all the time? Then there&#8217;s another dog who lives down the street&#8230;he&#8217;s a bit smaller than me, but he&#8217;s pretty nice too. I like going out on walks, because I get to meet lots of doggies. I think I&#8217;m the only puppy in the neighborhood though!<\/p>\n<p>Woofs &#038; hugs,<\/p>\n<p>~Bailey<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;<\/P><span style=\"font-family: verdana; font-size: xx-small;\"><em>Copyright \u00a9 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\">BaileyBeGood.com<\/a>.
