Hanna is 16 weeks old today and she weighs in at 8.7 pounds. It's been a busy week, we have learned that she does not mind going out in the rain and is not scared by thunder & lightning, but the hospital elevator made her a bit nervous.
My mother in law ( age 91) is in stroke rehab and the hospital allows pets to visit. Hanna really cheered her up, she has lost most of her ability to speak but she did manage "cute", "love" and "so sweet". Several other patients also wanted to pet her and she was very good about that. One fellow has a german shephard he hadn't seen in 2 months so he was especially happy to have a little cuddle.
She did really well this week on her recall at puppy socialization class - next week is going to be harder as I have to call her away from tripe and a squeeky toy --- this week it was only a regular doggie treat.
Unfortunately we have regressed a bit with potty training and she's had a few more accidents indoors. Hubby and I have been alternating days at the hospital
and that often means leaving at 8 am and not getting back until after supper - so Hanna isn't getting as much attention as usual,a s the person who's at home is playing catch up ( working with a stroke patient is very tiring). She's had too much unsupervised time out of the crate and hence the accidents. She asks to go out often but it's still not every time. We'll get there.

I'm glad she was such a good girl for you at the hospital. The potty training, well, that will come with time. It sounds like your both on the right track.
Continued prayers for your mother in law. I hope she recovers soon.
