The results of potty training, you ask?Ellen: 64
Steve/Lynn: 2

Actually, there were a few successes but not nearly enough to convince us that she would see significant progress any time before our east coast trip (2 weeks from now). So, we will try again at the end of the summer. Steve had planned to carry it through this week to see where she was at the end of the week, but by Sunday Steve suggested putti...

I saw her chewing on it and didnt stop her. I figured she was enjoying it. I didnt realize she had CONSUMED the entire thing. After Id forgotten about the baseball, she got very, very sick. Wouldnt move, wouldn't eat, and threw up for days. We took her into the vet (she had JUST be...
