Abby
Hey Susan,
Good to hear from you, my email was down for a couple of weeks. Well after two and a half weeks I finally decided on a name……Abby.
Our ride home was uneventful, she rode on a pillow on the middle of the console in the Jeep. She is quite the intelligent girl. She does “bring” her baby to me on command and she is comletely fearless ! She does not particulary like the day kennel but she now recognizes the work morning routine and reluctantly but dutifully goes in with a little proding. There were two days last week when I was out in the field and did not come home for lunch, she was very upset with me those two days. Both evenings she was especially bite-e and growl-e towards me.
She got her second round of shots a couple of weeks ago, and will get the third on spet 5th. As you suggested, the vet cautioned against exposure to adult dogs and suggested walking her where there is not any poop from other dogs. He said at 16 weeks she should be fine, but to still be cautious.
We went on our first “big girl” walk in the Henry Mountains yesterday (about a mile) Abby was tireless. She comes to my pillow in the morning and plops her head next to mine to wake me up so she can go “tinkle/poop” and EAT .
I will keep you posted Susan. Thank you so much for bringing this little girl into my life.
Regards,
