Thanks guys.

A brief update:

Since I haven't been working much lately, Kona's been by my side, solid, for the last 2 weeks - wherever I go, she goes. We've got a pretty solid schedule going and I can tell her bladder control is getting better. I can sleep for almost 6 hours without taking her out to pee. I've been pretty good about knowing when she wants to #2 but if there's an accident and I don't get to her in time, she'll eat it. I'm well aware of why she's doing it and working on getting her out of that habit. Which reminds me, I should get some cayenne pepper powder next time I go shopping. 2 hours of daily walks and leash training is going well. Overall, she's leaps and bounds better than she was just a couple of weeks ago.

Cute little story. I went to play poker on Friday night and my GF watched her for about 8 hours. She said most of the time I was gone, Kona was sitting on the rug by the entrance to the garage, waiting for me to come through.

When my GF and I went to the 'Nucks game yesterday, it was the first time she's been left alone in her kennel (4hrs). I couldn't believe I worried about her almost the same way I did the first time I left my son with a babysitter. As soon as Salo scored, we booted it home...haha
