Well, we had just moved to Hawaii and the next day we went looking at Boxers. My Sheltie, Corgan, was in quarantine for a month so Loke came home to just us people. We didnt' pick her up for a week because we didn't have a house yet! :p Well, now it's the first night, she is asleep with us on the floor ( no furniture yet). I am a stay at home mom, so she had company all day. She was crate trained from day one, or at least confined to it. She still liked to potty in there. Corgan was never like Loke was! He was a whiner the first night and when I would leave for work!! But Loke was different, I didn't have to work with her. She did potty on the floor alot for the first couple weeks. By the time a month rolled around I was off to pick up Corgan and they met for the first time. Loke was all happy to see him, though Corgan was wondering where he was and why was there this big puppy here with MY MOMMY!! 
I must say they do get along great 3 years later! Loke was a bigger handful than Corgan was, or maybe it was because I had a 5 month baby too! She is great now and I wouldn't trade it for all the world. Those days of frustration are but a faded memory. I can remember being so frustrated that I wanted to throw her out! It's amazing how you forget that now. I guess it's like how women forget how painful labor is when they get pregnant again!
