How to cope with Jack Russell puppy

Life with Rosie now she is 4mths. Rosie comes on leaps and bounds, literally.  She leaps from chair too sofa too zoom and bounce around the house. She gets a long walk every afternoon too our local beach. I do not encourage her to stop and dig. I keep her walking non stop for 3hours. She wears a muzzle to stop her eating stones and anything else she can see. This maybe an avoidance strategy, I can't afford to put her health at risk, if it means she must wear one each time she goes outside for a walk, then so be it. I tried numerous ways to stop this habit with no success.  Once she is walking she forgets she has it on and really enjoys her day out. I play with her, her favourite game, football. She plays goalie, she darts back and forth like one. She still use's her mouth to grab the ball, I am teaching her to nose it towards me. This she is doing slowly. She is kept busy with a daily routine of exercising, walks and meals. She is often outside doing her business than indoors ...

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...

Rosie goes for her second injection next week. Then she can go outside and explore. She loves to crunch at tiny stones so having to never take my eyes off her. Her routine is getting adjusted slowly, she tends to want to stay awake from 5.20am. At this time I do not allow her to engage with me at all. I place her back into her bed. When I know she has already done her business I then do not allow her to come out her bed again.  She does try, when this happens I point my finger at her saying No. She then lays down with her head on her paws looking at me. I pretend I am asleep.  Eventually she does also, this takes her to 7.30am a more realistic time to begin her day. I do not feed her I allow her to wait until I have prepared breakfast for the family. 8am Rosie gets her morning meal. Today I moved her crate out of sight from me. Tonight ought to be fun and games then, hmm. I am teaching her not to see me each time she wakens. If she decides to lay at my bed I shall keep putting...
