Awww

Look how teeny tiny she is in Willy's bed.

Here we are on the 9th day. so far, bliss is a much slower learner than Willy was, and she's been slow to warm up to me. She's finally starting to be more affectionate, though, just a little.
She knows her name, and she knows what ”sit”, ”wait”, ”ok”, and ”come” mean. She'll do all of them, with help sometimes.
As for the potty training, it's slowly improving. It took Willy all of ten days to completely get the hang of it, but Bliss is a little slow at this. I'm starting to see a pattern, though, and so it's getting easier to take her out when she actually is going to go. She is sleeping more soundly, at least!

She's a very active puppy, it takes quite a bit of play time before she gets tired, but she will just pass out and snore for hours.

Day three

She's been here all of three days, and Bliss has already figured out how to charge up and down the stairs. She also went to the door a few times when she needed to potty, and walked right into her open kennel for a nap. I have a feeling she is going to be a smart dog, but that could make her quite a handful!
