I have no kids, so I'll brag about my puppy instead.
After two and a half weeks of having my new puppy he is already housebroken. When he needs to go out he stands by my bedroom door and wimpers, then we'll go outside, he goes to the bathroom right away, and when he's finished he comes and jumps on my leg. Luckily he's a little guy and doesn't like the cold so he gets done REAL quickly so we can go back inside.
He also is very good about not chewing my things up...I've lost one book to his chewing and that's it. He spends the rest of his time chewing on one of his 8 million toys. He has seriously barked ONCE since I got him, which is awesome b/c I live in a duplex and I was afraid that he would be really yappy and loud. (He's a chihuahua)
He is just the sweetest little puppy ever, always knows when I need a kiss or some cuddling to make me feel better. Everyone who meets him just falls in love...I got super lucky.
