That when I present her with a new empty 2-liter plastic seltzer bottle, even though it's identical to the last 10 seltzer bottles she's had, she acts like it's Christmas morning and I've just bought her a Playstation.

What I don't love about my puppy:
So, she's fine _with_ M - the worst problem we've had is an occasional attempt to steal his booties. (But the booties belong to God!) But in the last few weeks, she's reverted to a lot of old bad behaviors, like accidents inside, and jumping, and biting at clothes - but only when we're not paying her attention. We've yet to actually catch her eliminating indoors - we just go out into the hallway and find the mess. Amusingly, I was at exercise class on Tuesday, where virtually the only common denominator is dog ownership (well, and motherhood - but it's great cuz M. gets to meet diverse other babies), and several other mothers said their dogs were doing the exact same thing.


The difficult part is coming up with a solution. So far, we've gone back to crating her much of the time. Which I feel awful about, though she doesn't seem to mind too much - but right now I don't have the time to spend as much attention with her as I'd like. Still, yesterday morning we had a nice long cuddling and petting session while the baby napped, so I think that helped.
