Mochi training is coming along great! She already does her business in her pee-pad which we’ll probably move outside soon. She whimpers and stares at us with her huge, sad-looking eyes after we stop playing with her and put her back in her kennel but quickly stops and plays to her toys instead. She’s crazy, curious and adventurous. She’s tiny but after a couple of tries, she found out that she can jump on top of her crate so she can attempt a mischievous escape from her metal fence. Too bad that she made that successful attempt in front of us!
Good thing that my sister is taking care of her and training her because I’m usually not at home. If she finds a summer job then Mochi will be screwed because she’ll be stuck at home with my dad all day who likes to shine a flashlight in her face when she least expects it and gives her false hope when he turns off the light when she is trying to chase it.
But at least I know my parents secretly love her. I found out that my mom was bitten by a dog when she was young so that’s why we don’t have pets but I think she’ll be able to warm up to Mochi. 
She lied to us all these years and told us they were allergic (just like how they promised to take us to Disneyland when I was 5, 7, 8, and 10 but I didn’t get to go until I was 14).
I hope to teach her the phrase “Mochi, go take a shit” soon and also teach her to hump Boyfriend’s legs when she sees him (just because it will be funny) except I don’t even know if female dogs even do that.
I originally wanted a male puppy but we ended up falling in love with Mochi. She’s sooo damn moody though and gets pissed off at you and totally ignores you if you put her back in her kennel but that’s what we get for getting a female. Oh well, she’s my 420 bitch! At least I’ll never forget the day I bought her home.

hahahaha “Mochi, go take a shit”!
Your puppy is so cute. I remember when I first got my pup, we were so proud of him and threw him a 2 minute party when he first tinkled on the pee mat. He got so good at the pee pee pad thing, that he used them until he was 2 years old…ughh. He is now fully trained and is using the backyard to do his business like a big boy! YAYYY

I get scared when people tell me how long it takes to house train a dog but I hope Mochi learns fast because I don’t want my house smelling like pee. Pee pads are are expensive here anyway!

I knew your parents would be ok! When you’re young and an animal attacks you, its kind of traumatizing. That’s why I don’t like peacocks. They bit my hand before so i don’t like them :/
Good to know that Mochi-chan is doing great! She’s sucha cutie pup. I can’t wait until I get my first puppy! I had one as a little girl but I couldn’t keep him in the house so that doesn’t count!

I’m excited for you too… I never really wanted a puppy that bad but now I want a billion after Mochi.

OMG She is so adorable, I want a puppy so bad but being in college is kinda hard to have a puppy in a dorm lol. Dogs are one type of animals I can deal with along with cats, the others can just extint for all I care

Oh, the cuteness! I wish I could get a puppy sooooo bad! I have a feeling I could sneak one home and my dad would just have to let me keep it. Either that, or he’d send it on a flight back to wherever I got it. Good luck on the training! She’s a good puppy for learning so fast!
