Good morning- august slept from just before 2am till 6.15 - she made a big fuss for company as I was sleeping on mattress outside puppy pen. She woke in the night for a poop and went back into the vetbed and self settled. She didn’t sleep in her crate - she seem to like going in and taking her...

Thanks everyone for the responses yes her name is august (with a small a ♀️) I have had dogs before but not had a dog for 10 years as we moved into a flat. After loads of research I decided it would be no problem for dog or for us. I wanted a GSD and my daughter wanted a staffie lol - my son’s...
