Yahoo!! Roma and Tilda are really starting to get along! They have both been playing inside the house together. They are a lot of fun to watch! Roma seems like she submits to Tilda; she'll often be on her back. And it's not just Roma that wants to play, Tilda keeps going back for more too :) The other thing is, is that Tilda seems more confident about taking her ball away from Roma.
On Thursday they were both sharing the outside water bowl after playing! No aggression over 'who drinks when.' Eating time has been going good as well. Tilda's still kind of nervous about it, but that might just take a little while for her to get over.
Night time has been okay. Roma made a lot of noise last night when I put her in after the last potty break. I let it go on for a little while, seeing if she would calm down by herself, then I finally got up and banged and shook the crate. A lot of noise sure can come out of a little dog :) But, on the bright side it was only at that time and then in the morning when she was ready to get up. We were gone last night and had her crated. We did play with her for quite awhile when we came home, but she still maybe wasn't quite ready for bed. We'll see how tonight goes. I want to be careful with what kind of correction I use while she's in the crate. I don't want the crate to become a 'bad place' and then she really doesn't like it. Ideally she should like her little crate. She's been doing pretty good if we stick her in there during the day or during eating time (our eating time, not her eating time).
Yesterday (Friday) Roma met Buddy and Gracie. I needed to step in and do a little correction, as she was growling and this didn't seem to be out of fear, more like she wanted to try to be the boss. It took 2 corrections and then Roma fit right into the pack, not a problem after that.
Also, yesterday Roma ran over to the door. I put her leash on and then she started to scratch at the door. She went right outside and went potty! Later, after coming home from meeting Buddy and Gracie she had an accident by the door. Maybe she is starting to get the idea. Now today Roma had an accident that wasn't by any means near the door. But, it might be a start, that she is starting the understand how it works :)
