...and so all Chloe wants to do is go outside! Since the last post, I've trained her to ring a bell when she wants to go outside. It works mostly. Since she's learned, she hasn't had very many accidents. She rings it when she just wants to play though too... but at least she does SOMETHING now!
Chloe also plays much nicer with the kitties now. She doesn't bit them and trap them under her arm as much anymore, and sometimes the kitties even play back with her, batting her with their paws while she play-lunges as them! It's so cute!!
Chloe's bad habbits list is shrinking. She still jumps, but you can stop her sometimes. She likes to play-bite when she's playing with you, and it doesn't matter if it's your face, arm, leg, foot, whatever--and even though I know she doesn't mean to be mean, it still hurts sometimes! She likes to steal Andy's socks, but she doesn't eat them, she just carries them around and drops them where ever she feels like.
Last week, Chloe passed puppy class!! She still needs a little work before I want to take her to the next class though. She needs to be GREAT at her sit-stay, down, down-stay, come when called, drop it, and leave it before I take her to the next one. I don't want her to be behind. The class that I want to sign up for starts on Jan 11, so we have 2 months to get everything perfect (haha yeah right...)
She's a lot bigger than when we got her. At the vet last week she was 36 lbs! She said Chloe might only get up to 50 lbs! She'll be a small husky if she stays that small. Last week was her re-check for worms. Guess what?! She still has them plus another kind. So she has new medicine that you give 3 days in a row, then 3 days in a row in 3 weeks and then a re-check 6 weeks after that. The vet said that Chloe probably got it from herself so make sure to pick up her poop right after she does it. Don't you think that would be something nice to know the first time she had worms! I've never had to care for a dog before! The first med day, Chloe ate it just fine. It's runny so I mixed it with pumpkin. The next 2 days were terrible. She didn't want to eat it at all! The vet promised it tastes good. Hahaha! It'll be fun in 2 weeks when I have to do it again. I think I'm going to buy some canned wet dog food to mix it with for next time.
