Mila, on Halloween, dressed as a Beanie Baby!

These past 7 weeks have gone by so fast! Mila is growing every day! She has been adjusting well, and so are we! We are teaching her all the rules of the house, and she is picking up great! Mila learned the command “sit” in the first week of being home! We are sure this is from the foundation you all gave her, before she came to us. She sits patiently before she is served food as well. We have been getting her exposed to as many new things as possible. She is really becoming independent and likes to explore. Potty training has been easy on all of us. She caught on very fast. She waits by the door when she needs to go out. We joke she goes on command because as soon as we bring her outside, and she hears the word “potty”, she goes!

The whole neighborhood is also in love with her. Everyone always stops to see her. They say she is “the talk of the neighborhood”. Last week we had Begger’s Night. We don’t have little kids, so it was the first time we had seen Mila interact with them for a long period of time. She did AWESOME! Kids came back to see her because they thought she was so fun. Parents said she was ‘so cute and soft’ and asked to take pictures with her. And at the end of the night, Mila sat at the door and cried because she wanted all her new friends to come back! She had a great time.

Our Vet says she sits nicely and waits to be pet, unlike most puppies! And is growing excellently! She will be starting puppy class next week; we can’t wait to see what new tricks and commands she will learn! Our family posts updates on Mila’s very own Instagram, @the_golden_mila_. We update it once a day, and she is starting to gain a following!
