Well we're now 2 days accident free so obviously complaining about it helps! Or admitting that there was a problem made me get serious about working at it. 
I AM TOO HANDSOME AND GROWN UP LOOKING AT 8 WEEKS OLD.

I can't believe the biting from this dog. His favorite thing is to jump and grab my arm, clamp down and TUG. Not cool buddy.

I has a puppy! He's a temporary puppy, but a puppy all the same. His name is Atlas and he's actually been really good so far. But I've only had him for 14 hours, so I'll see how I feel about him 8 days from now when he goes back to the rescue. But he's a total sweetheart and cute as a button!

As far as peeing in the house goes, Hazel is 14 weeks and I think we *just* got a handle on it. We were on vacation last week and she only had one accident the entire week, which was awesome. Before that she was still having about 2 per day, and often in her crate after only 3 hours. I got her tested for a UTI and it was negative, so I think she just has to pee all the freaking time. She does understand going outside as soon as she gets out (got that right away at 8 weeks), and will often walk near the door to signal, so we are getting better. For about a month we just had to take her out every 10-15min while she was awake and she would pee every single time, so some puppies really do need to go out that often.
I think we only took Watson out once an hour at that age, and he had only a handful of accidents between 9 and 12 weeks, and then none after that. Hazel was having 3-4 a day even with me and my husband being super on top of her.

I have to brag about how good my puppy is. We spent last week at a lake cabin with some friends - 5 adult humans, a one year old baby, 2 adult dogs, and the puppy. Hazel was so so good. She stuck around the cabin and came when called, though that's not shocking since she's still little. She was calm in the house and didn't have any accidents until the last day (compared to 2 a day at home). She was super well behaved when we went to my friend's parent's house an hour away to watch the World Cup, and his dad even liked her enough to let her on the couch (he's so not a dog person, and the adult dogs weren't allowed on furniture). He was carrying her around saying "I like this one! She's so soft!" lol We went for ice cream and she charmed all of the little kids and was super calm and patient in line and while we were eating.
The most surprising thing is that she was awesome with the baby. I figured she would knock him over or nip him, but she was extremely appropriate and sweet with him. The adult dogs avoided him as much as possible, but she seemed to genuinely enjoy interacting with him and didn't get nervous or upset when he was a little grabby.
So proud of this puppy! I hope she doesn't turn into a terror in a couple months because she's just perfect right now. Her only fault is that she wasn't interested in swimming. She would play in the shallows and attack the waves, and fell into the lake at least twice a day (off the little ramp thing that lead into the water), but she never seemed interested in swimming out on purpose.

Sorry, guys! Sometimes with Facebook I forget about posting here too haha. Oops. And then I feel bad because I randomly post here and it seems like I don't care about your guys' puppies, but I do! I just honestly am so used to FB now that it's hard to remember to post here too sometimes (and I like the privacy of FB).
That said, Everest will be joining my family in a couple of weeks. I am super excited! And her breeder says her nose will fill in lol. I hope so. But even if it doesn't, I love her already, pink nose or black. She just feels completely right. Upon talking to her breeder before offical placements were made a few days ago I was really torn between Everest and her black tri sister (who looks wise is my preference), but Ev's personality won me over ever so slightly and I was thrilled when I was told shortly after that she would be mine.
[I love this picture of her. It's the most recent one, too.]
