"So you brought me to my new home and you do this to me?!"
She was in a slightly larger crate enclosure in the breeders garage so she was right at home at my home but not cold, and she is crated at board and care. It is rare that dogs are not kept crated indoors and penned up outside; especially small dogs. The world is a dangerous place for almost every living thing."So you brought me to my new home and you do this to me?!"
I got the car seat from Petsmart, I could not find one I like on Amazon and I decided I would not buy a human baby a car seat I could not see, so I wasn’t buying my puppy a seat Icould not see. it was expensive but it is well made.Aneeda,, took Mac to get up dated puppy shots & micro chipped.
The shot didn't bother him.
He cried when he got the chip,, even bled..... poor baby.
Slept a lot , seems his shoulders hurt from shots ,, cried as I put him in his crate.
Hubby wants us to travel to Michigan some time this month.
Asked vet about something for Mac as he got car sick going to get shots.
She suggested children's Dramamine & some other anxiety medicine.
Did you get Bella's car seat from Amazon?
Welcome to my world,, it apparently takes a village to get a harness on a puppy. It takes two of us and them we can hardly accomplish it, but I read and you have to be careful of corgi necks so harness it is. I just bought Bella medium and hope it fits. She was wearing extra small and I hate to buy the small.Am careful what people medicine I give our pets.
After the long phone call I had with Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue,, am having second thoughts about flea , tick oils for Mac.
Will get him shot for Lyme disease,, too many deer here.
Yesterday bought a small harness to use on him .
What a treat trying to get it on him this morning.
Roll, wiggle, chew, nip,,, repeat ,over & over.
Think the one I bought is too small.
Only good thing is, he is now asleep.
Hopefully when hubby is here , we can get it on him.
Have the sales slip & didn't tear apart the cardboard it was in.
All the collars, harnesses we have were for our adult dog.
It was really hard to find a harness to fit Bella. I went on Amazon, ordered and returned about 10 of them, until I found one that fit decently. They are a lot cheaper on Amazon than in the store and easy to return so it worked out well, finally.We got the small harness on Mac this evening ,,its almost snug.
I bought another harness Sunday which has a solid piece on the chest area.
It's supposed to fit Jack Russels, Pugs.
Loose fit on Mac.
Will you spray your yard? Ticks can give you lime disease, I think.Been thinking about an outside kennel for Mac.
Problem is most of our yard has a slope to it.
We live beside a busy secondary road,, so 'if' we do buy some sort of kennel would like it out of sight of road.
Niece's dog had been out, near the road last year.
Some guy stopped, was trying to coax him into his car..
She was standing in her yard getting dog back to her.
New problem has raised it head,,, TICKS!
While at hospital for my yearly exam ,,one was found on me!
Went to ER & got it removed. yikes
Same here and he won’t let me buy a new push spreader, we have a hand one. Frustrating.O, yeah people get Lime disease too.
Doctor did not identify tick,, by its size think it was deer tick.
Believe the lime carrying tick is size of tiny seed/ period size> .
Will either throw powered lime about by hand or with little hand spreader.
Hubby sold the push spread at my yard sale couple years a go.
Thanks, we were still working on it when Bella got home, , had to get the shade cover up. It offers a little protection from the rain. I think dogs deserve the same protection as children-a safe place to play. It lets her run, zoom back and forth, to her hearts content. She has so much energy.@Aneeda72 You've done a great job on the dog run. Very impressive!
If I recall correctly, my daughter's Corgi didn't like being handled when she was a pup .. and was a nipper too. At 5, she still doesn't like being touched in specific places.
You know your dog best.
What a great job and space for Bella, you've gotten a lot accomplished in a short time.Dog run finally done as of 5 minutes ago and already pooped in by Bella. The trainer said she is the most nipped dog he’s ever had. Yup, I noticed that. We are going to buy a correcter that blows air into her face when she nips. She bit the trainer while he was here. Right after I told him she is going to bit you. No one listens.
As you can see, she has a lot of space to run in now and totally safe. Her dog house will be in the shade part of the day and a shade cover is over her house. Now, if she would just stop biting. BAD BELLA BAD
The two border collie/poodle mixes we had before were still nipping at seven months of age. Almost all herding dog nip, and it was the border collie half that kept it up. They did not draw blood, though. With Bella, she has an amazing drive for fetch and will learn to retrieve, but that drive also causes the nipping.What a great job and space for Bella, you've gotten a lot accomplished in a short time.
I'm truly baffled with Bella's nipping and biting......other than playing toes with Shaalee when she was little, that stopped quick, was just prompted biting habit......never had one that did this biting thing.....not even Micki.
Hope this can be corrected.
awww, Good Bella , Good Bella...I am tired mom, do not want to walk tonight
Being Bella is hard work!I am tired mom, do not want to walk tonight
