Update on Honey Bee Sugar Britches’ potty training. She’s 13 weeks.
She hasn’t had any accidents in 2 weeks. She will not ring the bell at all 😂 She goes and sits by the door.
Hazel and Samson rang the bell. Samson learned quickly from watching Hazel.
Hazel doesn’t ring the bell anymore. She stands by the door. So I guess Honey see that Hazel doesn’t ring it so she don’t either. She sees Hazel stand by the door so that’s what she’s doing.
I think I can say she’s completely potty trained now.
She knows how to sit and wait now.
But her wait is less than 30 seconds 😂 but it’s getting better. She’s learning down stay now.
I’m trying to teach her Hazel’s commands. Hopefully she won’t need obedience training like the over grown giraffe did. Hazel was overly hyper and still is. Hazel is getting very protective to.
I had taken a nap a few weeks ago, she was laying in bed with me. My husband came home and Hazel charged at him 😂 He kept hollering HAZEL It’s ME.. ITS ME
She was in attack mode.

This is why you never trust a dog. NEVER.
This is why the dogs will never be alone with the boys. Would Hazel actually attack? Probably not, but I don’t take that chance around the boys.
That day it was pretty dark in the house, and she couldn’t figure out who he was.
But once she knew who it was it was all hugs and kisses 😂

We all fall short. Pick yourself back up and repent.

Honey Bee Sugar Britches went to the vet yesterday for her shots. She weighs 17lbs at 13 weeks.
She’s a standard poodle
Hazel is a Standard Goldendoodle. Some people still ask 😇
Yes, she will be Hazel’s height or maybe a little taller than Hazel. Vet said she’s probably won’t weigh as much as Hazel. Standard poodles are more slim and tall.
Hazel weighs 75lbs. I think Hazel has topped out. She stays between 72-75lbs
Hazel eats 3 cups a day along with fruit and vegetables as toppers.
Honey eats 2 cups a day and I’m slowly introducing fruits and vegetables to her. Once she gets around 20lbs I’ll move her up to 3 cups a day, then 4 cups.
