Glad to hear all is going well Rhonda.
We have cats as well as dogs and most of the cats accept the dogs. We have a couple that still keep their distance but overall they all get along fine.
Are you crate training the puppy? We did when we are not home and it works well to get them to go outside.

Hey Rhonda!!! So good to see you post! Been wondering how you're doing after reducing stress! How's the pup? What's the pup's name??
So are you feeling better overall? Still stressed?
Guess what...?
I picked up my bike last Saturday (almost closing time @ the dealer). Put 86 miles on for the inaugural ride on Saturday and then did 347 on Sunday! (I put pics in an album in my profile).

But that kind of stress I can deal with. Thankfully, I had been planning on installing new carpet for months now, think I'll wait til she's trained to do that now, lol! Her name is Savannah. Chocolate covered love.

Rhonda, glad to see you back. You'll be very glad you crate trained your pooch. We did too, and it's just been fantastic for leaving her, or for traveling. Spring is nearly here, and we'll be exchanging "great ride" stories, so keep your chin up, and and spirits high. It's all good from here on out.

Great to hear from you Rhonda - glad to hear you're keeping busy and it sounds like your spirits are up. Riding season is just starting for us in OH (and a lot of the rest of the country) so I'm sure there will be tons of posts for you to reply too. I go a week with nothing that catches my eye and then there are ten threads that I feel a need to join in on.
Good luck on the new job - and post some pix of your new puppy!

Rhonda, I forgot to mention that there are some good Labrador forums where you can get some good information and share your experiences. Just google labrador forums and you will see a wide choice.

Crate Train.Great Idea!!!!
Rhonda Hello.,
We have Crate trained ALL our dogs and its the only way to go!!! You must be firm and ALWAYS...ALWAYS make sure they know who is BOSS!!! Tough Love is a must!!!! We have a Pee/Poo area in our yard and they learn that is their spot to go!!!We also have a Small Yard!!! It helps to have a small fenced in area so they know their boundery. It takes time but they get it!!! Also you can use large cage just section off back to make smaller then make bigger as they grow..We have Bernese Mountain Dogs...2 males, Jake 3 years,and Bohdi 9 months....Large breed, males get to 120Lbs... I will send pick when i figure this internet stuff out....LOL....Good Luck!!!....Remember the more training you do when they are young, the BETTER they will be when they Grow!!! Take Care, Glad to hear you are back from the DARK SIDE!!! R.W.
