When I first quit smoking my husband was travelling and I walked my husband's dog alot -- the exercise was great!! So... my husband was really keen on a Westie and I adopted a nine week old Westie puppy who arrived this past Saturday! Like the naive persian cat person I am, I pictured posting photos of my new baby and we lived happily "not smoking" ever after!! Anyone laughing yet?!? Well --- night time he has been pretty good but this evening when I put him in his play pen (in the kitchen) and try to do anything else he howls like crazy -- some whimpering and some full force barking!! I've been told to ignore this and he will stop -- which actually he has at the moment... Well I look forward to puppy advice -- I'm off to get an Advil! Note to self - no interest at all in smoking which is wonderful. Yahoo on Day 42!!! Have a great night everyone!!!
