WE'LL KEEP THE LIGHTS ON

That famous Motel 6 slogan is a great metaphor for the last two nights.  DeeAnn to her credit has been in charge of the nighttime routine.  Dean is learning the routine but it requires much of DeeAnn so far.  Ethan would help but he inherited my ability to sleep through most sounds.  I must say this is so far the most difficult part of raising.  You can’t let your guard down which means the “freedom” to have a puppy exploring your home is a dangerous option.  Even after a he has done his business you still assume he might take advantage of a clean carpet.  The ratio of success is still in our favor but the mental games-manship is not.  Its also incorrect to assume that this puppy is trying to outsmart us or has some master plan of conveyance that we will eventually give into, yet it does feel that way at times.  In the meantime Dean placates us with simple obedience skills
