I’m officially obsessed with Game of Thrones. I’m definitely not getting out enough. This puppy has taken over my life. So I’ve made my life about getting him potty trained and watching men fight ’til the death. The potty training isn’t going as well as Thrones binging. But I have to remember he’s only 9 weeks old and we’ve only had him for a little over a week. But it’s frustrating when he holds it for 7 hours at night then during the day, he does what he wants when it comes to urination. Not poo, just urination. He’ll go to the bathroom twice outside, then as soon as he comes inside, he goes again. Right on the carpet.
So I understand the small bladder thing, but if he can hold it for 7 hours, there’s absolutely no reason for him to let it go 5 minutes after already going. He even hopped up on the couch and pissed on a pillow right next to me. Straight up. Do you think it’s some sort of dominance thing? Or hatred for me thing? I don’t know. I don’t get it. I feel like how my parents probably felt when I was a teenager. Just at a loss for what to do. I even cried the other night out of frustration. I keep trying to listen to all the advice and be a good mom, but it feels like it’s not working. We take him out all the time, we reward him with a treat and say “good boy, potty outside” every time he does it outside. He even looks to us for a treat when he goes outside, so he knows he’s doing something right. But it doesn’t seem to be enough. Today I’m going to go get a bell for us to use every time we go out so he knows to ring it. I’m hoping that’s the miracle to all of our potty training issues.
It was funny the other day when someone said that babies come after dogs. I feel the complete opposite now. If I had questioned having a child before, there’s no way now. If I’m stressed out by a dog that pees about a tablespoon full of liquid, how could I ever handle a child? Impossible. I don’t understand how parents do it. I think I’ll just stick to trying to master raising a puppy and understanding what they are saying on Game of Thrones.
So back to that show. I’m obsessed with it, but I’m not 100% sure that I love it. It’s pretty effed up. I mean, when you kill animals and children in a show, it’s pretty bad. Adults, whatever. It happens in pretty much every show. But horses. Don’t ever kill a horse. I have to cover my eyes every time something frightening like that happens. I’m not really into death. But I’m super into the dragon girl. I can’t wait until her dragon messes some bad people up. I’m jealous of her dragons. I bet they were easily potty trained.

Hi! How long will these last in the freezer? Thinking they’re safe for awhile, right since none of the ingredients really expire? Thx!!
they’re definitely safe for a while in the freezer. can’t tell you how long though
I tweaked this recipe a little by adding a chocolate layer, almond butter mixture then chocolate layer. It is easier to get out of muffin pan and not so messy.
Hey Juli,
thanks for the recipe, these are yummy! Just wondering if they have to stay frozen until you are ready to eat them. I want to bring some along to an event tomorrow but i’m afraid they will melt on me. Thanks!
These are ridiculously delicious!
We do them on the ice cube tray for a tiny treat!
I just read your blog. Sorry you are having a problem with training your baby pup, but he just might have a bladder infection. This could be the reason for the frequent urination during the day. Worth checking this out at a reliable Vet. Good luck with the pup.
Hey! Just made these last night and just wanted to say that I felt like a pro, cause they looked exactly like yours! lol They were awesome! Even my non-Paleo husband liked them…that is saying something! hahaha
Love these. I made then with muffin tins and layered the chocolate with the almond butter so they actually looked like reese’s miniatures. They were a hit with my Bootcamp girls 🙂
These are amazing!
Need a substitute for honey…
maple syrup
Finally got my cookbook and can’t wait to make the Grilled Swordfish with Peach and Avacado Salsa. Oh Yeah!!!
