We've had her two weeks yesterday. She's 9 weeks old as of today.
She's doing good, already holding her bladder and stool while in the crate, and actually while in the house too. She's only had a couple house accidents and a couple crate accidents in two weeks! That's awesome. She'll pee and poop when you take her outside within the 1st 2 minutes almost every time out.
Growing like a weed. I'd bet she's close to doubled her weight in the last 2 weeks. 6 to 10 or 11 lbs is my guess, although I have not weighed her. She's starting to recognise her name, and seemed like she understood NO almost immediately.
She's taking to the crate with not a lot of whining ever, and even less now. She likes to fetch already and will ofter stalk up on a thrown toy and pounce on it at the end.
We take walks on the lead although not religiously like Bill. She gets a lot of exercize playing with Cooper, my 3.5 year old. He lowers the game to her level a lot, as long as I give him some individual attention and REAL exercize.
Bailey follows Cooper around and does a lot of what he does. She has an excellent role model in being a good citizen dog. If she follows his lead, she'll be a real joy to have in the house.
With all the bragging she's still trying to get into everything, and taste everything. The good part is when told NO... she stops immediately. We keep a total eye on her and she's either monitored or in the crate and id doing great.
Man puppies are a lot of work...

But its fun because we both know what the end results is going to be. 
She still wants to crawl up in my lap and have me hold her but its getting to be with her being all legs that their just isn't room for me and her on the chair at the same time. 
We solved both problems very simply without having to spank her or say no or anything. We set mouse traps on the table and in the garbage can. ;)She don't do that anymore. Its funny watching a dog with a mouse trap on its nose and paw. ;D Especially when she looks at you and your clear across the room and she knows you did it and wern't even close. 
Wife says what happened to you and I said Molly got petted.
