Day 4 with the dog and all is well. She has had a few accidents on the carpet, but she's so little that it's really not too distressing. The quantity of each accident is quite small. She will eventually be house trained. I'm more tuned to how we are handling her potty accidents, not so much that she's having accidents. That's expected.
She is definitely getting more comfortable with us. We've heard her bark a few times now, at nothing in particular (usually in the back yard or towards the open back door...she no doubt hears and smells neighbor dogs and such). Coco is still keeping a respectable distance.
Last night I watched a movie (Flightplan) with Viv snoring gently on my chest. When I got up, I sat her on the sofa. She hopped off easily by herself, so she can definitely handle getting off the sofa, even if she can't quite get on the sofa by herself.
She loves to be near us, without pestering. In that way, she's a lot like Coco, who has dog-like qualities like wanting to be near people. Funny...Vivien is a dog who acts like a cat who acts like a dog.
It's not uncommon for Viv to come up and just plop her heiney down at your feet. And when you scratch her belly, she lifts her back leg. Very cute.
