Day three, more notes.

Well, not sure if this is "too much information" but I am posting bullet notes here and will add to the list as I think of things or notice things.


* she's a bone hider, so funny, it is buried in the blankets in her doggie bed, she hasn't even nibbled on it

* beginning to notice toys, she will pick stuffed toys up and carry them a bit then drop them

* no episodes of chewing on inappropriate objects

*does not jump up on people

*will jump up on the couch

*wants to be with you, doesn't wander off in home

*last night, kept trying to get out of baby gate in laundry room so I put her in a crate for the night, she whined for a couple minutes and then was quiet for the night

*Lisa who owns the doggie daycare said she ate her bowl of kibble the evening she arrived and the next day, she has not eaten a bowl of kibble for me, I am putting a couple of tablespoons of canned food on it and she does eat that all up

*doesn't eat doggie crackers but I cooked up some stew meat I got on sale and cut it into pea size pieces, wow, she will do anything for those

*I gave her a bath today.........even though she didn't like it, she tolerated it quite well

*she doesn't like her nails trimmed, had someone hold her so I could trim them up, still very wiggly for this

*she doesn't like her teeth brushed, probably never had it done before so I didn't push it, she does have some tarter on her canine teeth and the back molars, vets use the amount of tarter to judge a dogs age, I'm certainly not an expert but would think she may be a bit older than 2 yrs from the tarter, what do I know, maybe poor diet

*likes to lay next to you on the couch (I took an afternoon nap today on the couch with my dog keeping my feet warm and Honey keeping my side warm)

*saw progress with todays walk, her head and tail were held high for half of the short walk we took

*loves, loves a donut doggie bed, she spends the day in it either snoozing or watching me work in the kitchen, I think she even prefers it to a couch
