She's a smart cookie. Maybe as smart as Gimli, but that still remains to be seen. At just nine weeks old she knows her name and comes running to it. She knows sit and give paw without flaw. She knows lay down, roll over, spin, look at me, and high five very well, and just this weekend she started learning leave it to great success. We've been three days without an accident in the house not just because we are taking her out on a schedule, which we are, but also because she has started taking us to the front door when she needs to go out, or barking if to alert us she needs to if she is in her crate. Speaking of which, she is napping three times a day in her crate happily and mostly at peace, and is sleeping through the night without fail, even if she does have a fairly early wake up time as yet (after which she will successfully go back into her crate and let us get another hour ro so of sleep). She is a true gift.

(Note the treat on her paw which she is waiting to take until I tell her she can...it's hard to find in all the spots).
