sumo's doing better with the house training, except for

1. when he gets really excited/distracted playing with chibi and just "forgets"
2. when we pull his "big boy" bed out and he gets lazy (or the cleaner apparently hasnt removed all the pee smell?)

we're still working on the excited "nipping" that he does, but that will come in time with continual focus and correction. i think it's more challenging for us this time around with 2 dogs than it was for chibi. she mostly only had us around, so she learned more quickly that this is not how we greet/relate to people. sumo, however, is playing with chibi a lot, and that is how they relate. he has to learn the difference between human and doggie time.

chibi is rounding back into her old self (as she comes out of heat, and no longer has to wear her diaper). their play sessions are more vocal, and they're back to moving the furniture all over during their shiba 500 sessions.

we're also starting sumo on his "mini-walk" training. so far so good. he's even getting used to his special kid harness :)
