Nothing from the bunny. I'm glad I vetted her though....she only got the tick a week or so ago, so that bunny related testing caught the Lyme early

Well....probably not rabbit related...but the snap test bloodwork shows she has Lyme desease. So we're back in tomorrow for Urine and further bloowork to check her kidneys

74.5lbs today That's up from 72.3 late last month, when I took her to ER for eating foreign objects. I'm not sure at this point if she's getting physically bigger, or if she's filling out now. But she's blown right off the female GSD growth chart. I checked the King shepherd chart- she's...

I grabbed Interceptor Plus. But I can't recall if I gave her Nexguard, or Nexguard Spectra at the beginning of the month. I've been rotating. So I'm going to give it a week before I deworm in case she's already ON a dewormer

Trixie found a nest yesterday morning. We called Animal control to take the one injured baby who survived. They will relay it to the local wildlife reserve. Two died of their injuries, 6 are unharmed in a now fenced-off nest. We were left to bury the dead. So I put the dead in one of my...

Today we were walking, and we saw the cutest thing. A tiny puppy off-leash. Now I'm not generally a fan of off-leash dogs--it's risky. But this 14-week puppy was stuck like glue to momma's side and listened to every word. It took a moment to realize she wasn't on a leash. Clearly, this woman has...

Thankfully, up to this point, she's only done things to dog people. The general response to her mishaps are "It's ok, she's still young" or Oh it's fine- I have shepherds at home. Like the fact she's a shepherd excuses her poor manners? LOL @edzbird I went through that sequence with Shamas...

I'll try that. She already knows that behavior. One thing I've noticed is that she can't move and behave at the same time. Too much for her. As soon as I add motion, I lose the part of her brain that is keeping her from doing the thing....

Hmm...Trixie's started trying to jump on joggers. Not good. This began this morning. The first one laughed at her, seeing that the jump was playful... so she did it again. The second...an older woman...was afraid. I've talked with Trupanion about behavior modification, and they said if the vet...

Aside from a couple of fuzzy poops, I never saw a sign of the remaining tampons. She's shown no sign of side effects. Perhaps she never ate the last few, or passed them in pieces? In better news, she's walking on the flat collar consistently and listening well. I've been doing longer walks...

Just got back from ER Trixie broke into the bathroom and got into the trash....I saw her eat a tampon After inducing vomit, she produced EIGHT tampons! The problem is....we counted 11 applicators in the trash can after the fact. So we're on watch for the next week Brought home some gi...

Just an update...an answer to what the issue was. Separation. She couldn't bear to be separated from us once she woke up. We recently redid our floors, and when it was being done we slept in the living room on the floor....Trixie spent the night alternatively cuddling each of us. After the...

Trixie has taken to negotiating with me lol! I ask if she wants a walk, she gets excited..but when I pick up the halti, she hides on the couch(still wagging her tail.) She doesn't want it. So I put the halti in my pocket and she runs over for leash on flat collar. She is allowed leash and...

Since it's well past dog walking time, I took Trixie on the Flexi and flat tonight to work a little on verbal commands with a leash backup. We did get barked at by Duke on the corner...and I took the chance to let her tell me what she needs. I let the lead loose. Duke is friendly, so I knew if...

Graduation pic :) ((Courtesy of her trainer, and used with permission) She's doing very well. I am often stopped by people who tell me how well behaved my dogs are. This trainer also helped me with shamas and angel

WE finally had had it with living in the gloom of ever-shuttered windows. We have lived with our windows closed since we got Shamas, because any time someone walked past the house he went ballistic. Had to be physically pulled away from the glass. Things put in front of the window to keep him...

Trixie found/caught a dead bird just now. I didn't want to fight her for it, so I let her play with it while I grabbed cookies to swap. She let me have it, without a fuss....but I'm still left with the question of whether she found it dead, or brought it down. It's freshly dead.....still...

The purple collar is new, yes. I got it because she outgrew her pink one...and she's been getting sideways looks now that she's big. People wary of her. I thought a big purple bow would offset her big scary dog effect. It works :) For her birthday, she got a big box of pig ears:)

Graduation Day! We have now completed Puppy and Basic and are enrolled to start Intermediate obedience on May 8th. We are well on our way towards the goal of being able to walk loose leash on a collar...but are still pretty excited about dogs, so we use a Halti if we go where dogs might be...

New photos incoming. Trixie is now a year old.
