What?! Only 6 wks? :shock: Poor soul. Cats should be with their mother until 12 weeks. How can people do that?

I’ve questioned whether the cat was actually thrown from the vehicle or if he jumped out the window. Amazingly his injuries were very minimal and he has turned into a very self confident and totally self absorbed kitty after being so fearful the first week. He ‘OWNS’ the clinic. Mr. Personality Plus. :p

She did have a blast with it! And I definitely got it from your raving about it. She does play with it independently but right now we have a lot of “road blocks” in our backyard (currently working on downsizing and rearranging playsets for the kiddos). And she would lose interest so I did have to get it unstuck for her in order for her to gain interest again. Do you have the 12” egg? We have an 8” egg coming as well that I’m wondering if she will enjoy more and be able to keep her interest in attempt to trying to get it better.

Awesome! :thumbsup2:

Yep, mine is the 12. I didn't even know there was an 8 option. The shop I got it from only had the 12 and a much smaller version which seemed for little dogs. Like maybe 4"? I contemplated getting the smaller one too but if they can pick it up with their mouth, I think it eliminates part of the challenge. The 8 should still be ok. Let me know how that goes. I want to have a back up egg just in case :D

The road blocks - I noticed Kaiser would get the egg stuck around a window well or under the deck stairs and I'd have to free it for him. I think it's a ploy to get us involved lol. Sometimes I will stay on the deck and watch him. Nothing ever gets stuck then!

Once she's in love with the egg, you can use terms like Play Quiet (Kaiser will frustration bark if it gets stuck - I allow him 2 barks before I take the egg away) and Careful, which helps if we're in the yard with them (really we shouldn't because it will hurt if we get hit with that egg) and they should not run into us.
 
Went over to the BFs sisters house to make cookies this weekend. Talk about challenges for the puppy....

Running, screaming children, literally all the crumbs on the floor, stuffed animals and random tiny toys basically everywhere, and people who aren't generally fond of dogs or appreciate having them around (Rubie was invited, we didn't bring her without figuring that out ahead of time).

She did great, though and was very well behaved (better than the kids :whistle: IMO...).

I called and they told me they had two puppies left but one had a deformity and free to a good home. My friend and I, without permission, took my dads truck... hahaha he wasn’t home so what he doesn’t know won’t kill him right? I definitely didn’t know how to drive a stick shift and well my friend stalled us half the way there. Thankfully in town Drive but too far to walk. Lmao. Anyways she’s obviously mixed. Pittbull and I always guessed German Shepard because of the ears. As you can see she had a trex arm. I was very impulsive with getting pets and certainly not the right owner to give this dog the BEST life but she was loved to the max and taken with me where I went.

Last year, we actually did say something along the lines of "If our better behaved dog isn't welcome at the family Christmas party and the kids are, we're not coming" and that... wasn't very well received. Not worth getting into entire family arguments over. I'll keep my snarky comments for strangers :)

I totally get that too. Our family decided to do a big vacation a few years ago by renting a house for a week with aunts, uncle's and cousins etc. I mentioned I'd like to bring my two because they are like family to my husband and I. We don't go on vacation much, so if we were going to spend a lot of money and be at a place with lots of outdoors, my dogs were coming. Six months later, "Sorry we decided to get a house with no pets allowed." Had many family members feel bad that we basically got ousted because we said we wouldn't go without the dogs. Fast forward to this summer and they made sure to get a pet friendly house and we had almost everyone telling us how well behaved the girls were and the joy they brought to them on vacation. :rolleyes: The kids had a blast too playing with the dogs in the water.

My goal from day 1 has always been to have my dogs be so well behaved you don't notice them there. People often don't notice them (ex: "where's Java?"-in her kennel "-oh my gosh she's so quiet!"), but they assume they will so they turn us down before we even get
a chance. Could you imagine if people were allowed to behave that way towards children? "Yeah you can come to family vacation but not your kids :woot2:"


I can kennel my dogs but some days I wish you could kennel kids :D
