we PASSED

Not with flying colors (only 75%), but with enough colors.

She totally gave us attitude with the downs (suprise suprise, this has been a problem since day one) and didn't finish her stays but did come close (4 minutes out of 5).

Our instructor suggested a few months of consistant work before we try a more advanced class. We might even repeat this one if we don't have enough focus on our own.

Merry Christmas!!

Happy holidays from my furbutt to yours!

Always be a Lady!

So I gave Miss Skadi her bully stick this morning, and she promptly laided on it, crossed her legs and began to chew.

You can hardly see the bully stick It's like she's saying "no matter how badly you want the chew, always, always be a lady!"

Oh the GUILT!!!

We got Skadi spayed this week. I have been hit with a serous case of "momma guilt" the evening we brought her home. She cried and cried and cried. When I phoned they emergency clinic they suggested that it might be disorentation and not pain. That made sense so we tried to make her comfortable and after a while she did join us in the living room, crying all the while.

When I went to bed, we thought it might be a good idea to put the collar on her. That didn't go so well. Here is some video of her removing it :)



She hasn't worn it since and is fine!

She is finally eating and drinking like a good pup, but is still a bit slower to run around. She will go out to the bathroom but then won't walk back to the house so poor DH has to carry her.... is she playing him???? Good question.

At least she will never need to do this again!

And the Poop Flies By

Oh my, what a crazy couple of weeks. As you can see by the title, we've been dealing with a bad case of doggie diarrhea. Skadi has been battling it since we got home from our trip on the Sept long weekend. Boy, it’s been a long road.

I am happy to say that

• the tests didn’t show anything wrong in the stool
• we’ve had 2 whole days of solid poop this week.

Who would have guess that my life would have turned into daily poo talks with my darling DH?

Doggie Daycare

Today was a big day for me and Skadi. Today was the first day of Doggie Daycare for my little baby.

She was great when I dropped her off, she even discovered a cat. Skadi got a nice hiss out of her (that might teach her not to stick her nose in everyone's face). Once I was done with the paperwork, the owner took her and said "can you find the puppies" and Skadi was off. She didn't even look back.

I was told that I can phone at any point during the day to see how things are going. I might just have to do that.... It's going to be a loooong day.
