6 Months - Adolescence has Struck!

Dottie will not be able to have babies and she'll never have to deal with the mess of going into heat - I had her fixed.  I thought long and hard about it, but realized - if she had babies, I'd keep them... and I'm not around all the time to help her out if she were pregnant.  SO... best plan - get her fixed...

She has stitches that come out next Friday - her surgery went well, she had a few baby teeth pulled and she chipped.  I thought she was reminding me of a shark with two sets of teeth - babies weren't falling out with adults coming in - so vet said she pulled the ones that needed help coming out. 

Key words to excite my Dottie:  "Out" and "Hungry"...

Companion time - I wasn't feeling well during the holidays - just run down, the weather wasn't nice, and I just wanted to sleep away the days.  So, I'd take care of the pup, and then she'd curl up with me on the couch, I'd turn on a movie or we binge watched shows on Netflix together - curled up with our nap blanket... and she stayed with me most of the time - except for "Hungry" or "Out" times or just play time - she'll play on her own now OR she'll bark at me and bring me her toy to toss for her to play fetch - she loves fetch... and then we have wild moments where we just run the circuit like a greyhound through the house.... that's hysterical - her ears flapping behind her, her "drifting" when she comes to a turn on the tile floors... one thing guaranteed with Dottie - she'll make you smile and laugh... she's a very positive little being in my life.





5 Months Old....

We are now Potty Trained!!!!  She IS the brightest Crayon in the Box!!!  She will hold it in until we go out - and she gets praised for being such a good girl... I stand there with my poop bag and my dog in the yard saying "What a good girl you are Dottie!!!!" in a sweet sickening tone to make her feel special and the neighbors to think I'm nuts.... well, whatever ... I am nuts!
