Well we made it through a full week with Koda! It's been an interesting one....
So we decided to ask our neighbor to come let her out during the day while Adam and I are at work. She graciously accepted and we couldn't happier knowing (for now...) that she will not make a complete mess everyday!
The lining of the wee-wee pads plus the blanket has been great! That way she doesn't mess up our carpet and I can was the blankets and towels! She has been super good about not messing in the house except if we have her out with us in the living room.... so I make sure to come into her play area a lot during the day to make sure she gets the attention she needs (and deserves!!)
She has also figured out how to jump over the baby gate.... I know that it wasn't the most secure "gate" but it was working and we didn't think anything of it.... then one day I was in the kitchen and all of a sudden POOF! there she was at my feet.... so we came up with plan B...

We went to PetSmart last night and picked up a new gate that swings open and closed.... plus it is higher than the previous one. Adam then proceeded to build a wood contraption (which is actually quite cool) to help support the gate since we are not using it in a doorway quite yet.
Koda and Casey were outside for about an hour today since the weather finally warmed up (40 degrees!!) so she is all tuckered out and will hopefully sleep until it time for dinner!
In other news, work is going well. Finally completed a huge project that I have been working on since Sept '08. All the managers (including mine) will be at an offsite next week, so it'll be a quite one! Which is a good thing, means I can get other things done without being interrupted...
Still have a lot of snow on the ground, it's just been way to cold for it to go away. But then it ices over! So our driveway has been an ice-skating rink for the past week or so, but as I mentioned it got up into the 40's today with a lot of sun, so bye bye ice!!
Nothing else too exciting... so I'm going to go catch up on some TV shows I missed then time for the SuperBowl!! YAY commercials!! I mean...... ;)
