A Pocket Full of PipSqueak! |
PipSqueak is learning pretty well. She's still having a hard time responding to her name but she almost always comes when I say come. She's handling potty training pretty decently, especially since the last few days we haven't been home to remind her. Honestly it looks like she does better when we're not there than when we are... This weekend (well today, Wednesday 11/24/10 through Sunday) is a long Thanksgiving weekend so we're going to have a lot more 1 on 1 time with her. We're going to try the doggie door today, see if she can make it through. The steps outside our door might be hard at first but I think she can handle it... She jumps over us pretty well.
SMILES! Give me a hug! |
We had to give her a couple baths already, which I think may have dried out her skin, because she's pretty itchy. She sat in her poop the other day, so that had to be cleaned up. And the next day we were told to wash her with Dawn Dish Soap, because she has these little bumps on her neck that may have been from flea bites. She hasn't had any fleas since we brought her home, but I did find one or two on her at the breeders. I took them off of her and killed them and threw them away, but something is bothering her. I'm hoping the Dawn bath will help, and once her skin develops some oils again she'll stop being so itchy. Could be the cold too. We're not really sure.
We're going to take her to the Vet for her overall puppy check up on Dec. 4th so wish us luck that we have a perfectly happy healthy puppy!! :)
