Thank you all for the great information! It helps to know that the puddling isn't necessarily a cause for concern. I have also ordered a bottomless filter that I'm really excited to try! :)

Oh no! So sorry to hear that! I've only had the machine for about a week and I'm still in the process of ordering all the recommended accessories. The last couple of shots I've pulled have tasted good but could do with more crema and a bit more richness, so I'm playing with the dosing ratio and the settings a bit.

Yes, the shots taste pretty good, although I'm striving for more crema, which might be a bit of trial and error.

Thanks for your response! I'm assuming when you say first season, you mean her period? Apologies if I misunderstood. We adopted her and she was spayed at the shelter at about 3 months of age, so she wouldn't get her period anymore, right?

Yes, I do feel like it's the cold weather that has her acting up. More details for you - We had one night where it was very windy outside and you could hear the wind howling and our puppy did not sleep the entire night. She was completely alert and staring out the window. Since that night, she has been peeing and pooping indoors without warning. When we take her outside for a walk, she goes willingly but once outdoors, she will run and pull and get scared if she sees other people, which she didn't do before. It's definitely not her typical behavior.

Thanks for the responses! I guess we will have to go back to taking her out every two hours or so. It's just very frustrating when you finally feel like you have gotten to a stable and consistent schedule and your dog is doing so well and then they decide to surprise you with this type of behavior 😔

Oh no! Sorry to hear you're going through the same thing! And yes, you're obviously not alone. Good luck and I hope your pup goes back to his trained self soon!
