Well... Pyper is going to be 15 weeks in a couple of days and we are STILL having issues with potty training.  She did awesome for about a week... no accidents.  Then all of the sudden 2-3 each day!  We are back to pooping in the house too!  It is extremely frustrating, but we are trying our best to put her out after every drink, eat, sleep or playing session.  She came in the other morning after being out (Kirk watched her go pee and poop) and came in and peed right in the middle of the kitchen floor!  FRUSTRATING, but we know that she will learn.... eventually.  We are rewarding her with praise every time she goes outside and goes potty.  I have read a few things that says you SHOULDN'T do this... but nothing else seems to be working, so anything is worth a try. Other than this issue, Pyper is doing awesome!  We started working on her "stand" position and "teeth" (showing her teeth).  I watched some training videos and wish I would have started earlier on their training for showing.  I am obviously an amateur and have NO experience in showing what so ever...  But everyone has to start somewhere.  As for Zeppelyn, she is growing like a WEED!  She has to be 60+ lbs already.  She has grown (her hind end) at least another inch to one and a half inches.  She has lost her front baby teeth and all of her adult teeth are coming in beautifully!  We call her our big dopey dog.... Here are a couple pics out playing and them snuggling on their bed (almost time to purchase another one so they don't have to share).

Zeppelyn is 18 weeks old and Pyper is 13 weeks old!!  WOW how it has gone by quickly!  They are both growing so quick!  We measured them on 2/23/12 and Zeppelyn was 20" Tall and 20" Long and weighs an amazing 51 lbs (weight from today, 3/6/12)!!  Pyper (2/23) measures 14" Tall and 16" Long and weighs (3/6/2012) 32 lbs!!  Pyper is finally doing well on NOT going potty in the house... Hasn't had an accident in over a week!  Here are some pictures of our girls!  The vet said they are growing at a great rate and looking fantastic!  Both are very healthy!
