Toilet trained at 14wks.Jack Russell .

Rosie at 14wks is now house trained.
She sleeps all night
Without going too a training pad.
First thing in morning, I ask her if she wants to go out,
This prompts her to walk too the door.
I removed all training mats close to the door.
This way if she does mess I can tick her off.
Then put her outside. 
She immediately goes onto a training mat outside the door, this eventually shall be grass only.
For now a training mat until she can reach grass area.
It has taken determination on my part and consistency. 
Doing same routine each day over her 7wks with me.
She walks with her lead and loves to venture outside to new places.
Tonight I shall walk her around a park for few hours to get her use to doing her business on grass.
It takes dedicated time from you to achieve these goals.
I have loved every minute of it.
Well done Rosie.
Annie.

Meet Rosie

Image
  Meet Rosie our new family member. She is 8wks old, she has been obviously missing her own family. She has been away from them for less than a week. Already she has learned to go too her puppy training pads. She sleeps in her crate beside my bed. The door is kept open so she can go too training pad when she needs to. Been a few misses but she mostly reaches her pads on time. She is now using her teething toys rather than sucking her blankets looking for her mummy for milk. I place the teething toy inside her mouth each time she opened it to suck. She soon learnt to get the hang of using the teething toy. She eats dry food with a little moise meat gel. She is eating 3 small meals. 9am , 1.30pm. 6pm her last meal stop along with water. She gets a calming treat at bedtime with a lick of water. Her bedtime is around 9.30pm. She takes a mad hour around 7.8.pm I try to keep this as calm as can be during this time. I massage her little body and talk to her. Once she is ...

Meeting Rosie for the first time.

Image
The first day I met my new puppy Rosie.  My first thoughts on looking at her, once I had decided it was Rosie I was taking home, I heard myself telling myself,  I  hope I never let her down. For I felt I was still missing my beautiful cocker spaniel Carrie.  I knew pets can sense our emotions..whenever I got her into my arms and we were alone. I whispered to Rosie how sad I was feeling and it was not her fault.  I told her about my loss of Carrie and how beautiful she was. I shared with her my sadness for my loss telling her, I am sure you shall make me feel better.  I told Rosie, I too would love her as much as I  did my beautiful cocker spaniel.  When I walked into my home with Rosie in my arms. I took her straight to my photographs of Carrie and held it up in front of her so she could see her..I pressed it against her little nose , instantly though she knew what to do, she licked the photograph, giving Carrie kisses.. Each day since I  tal...

After care speyed

Image
 It is now November 23rd. Rosie had her operation to be speyed 5days ago. She was ok after her operation no complications.  5days on she is having trouble defecating,  she lets out a loud squeal.  Took her too the vet, who checked her anal glands were not inflamed also emptied her anal sacs. She is still having pain, vet has prescribed a pain relief for her. I am softening her food to make her stools softer to allow less tention on her stomach. With a bitch the operation entails cutting into the belly, hence the tenderness.  Rosie sleeps all night with odd mishap of messing on training pad, due to her being to small to hold it all night. During day she ventures towards the door to go outside.  Training her for potty outside has been a gradual process, she still is reluctant to go outdoors when weather is bad. Coming into winter months this may hold her back a little.  She has been car sick a few trips now, so now take her 15mins short trips without foo...
