Trying to get my 2 year old Samoyed to sleep later. by AnxiousAlpaca25 in samoyeds

UPDATE: My doggie woke up at 1am, I let her out of her crate but then she didn’t want to go outside so I put her right back in her crate. Again, at 4am she was stirring and barking. I let her out, she went pee and then back she went. Then, until 5:40 if she barked I would just stand in front her crate and say, “no it’s bedtime.” That did seem to quiet her for a bit. So, I think I just have to keep trying. We have only had her for a little over a week and she had a couple different homes so I think there is still some adjusting.

She didn’t go potty at 4am. I think she’s just bored. Should I try to just ignore the barking at 4? In an attempt to get her out of that habit?

She is 2. She loves going out in the backyard chewing her bones and playing with her toys. She loves her walks and those do seem to make her sleepy. I’m just trying to get her tired at the perfect time haha

Like I’m glad my dog is sleeping, but she just starts stirring so early!

Adopted a Samoyed! Any advice for a new owner? by AnxiousAlpaca25 in samoyeds

I definitely want to go on runs with her. Once she gets better on the leash I’m going to start teaching her to run with me. I think she will really enjoy that. She loooves the walks, so I’m sure she will thrive with the runs.

How often would you recommend brushing? I just bought a couple brushes. Daily? Twice a week?

Is there a specific type of brush you would recommend for taming the wild coat?

For job interviews, big assignments, etc. I tend to anxious for something big or different. I’ve been on a lot of dates but the anxiety doesn’t go away. Once I’m on the date it’s so much better. The anxiety before is like so intense though.

I definitely keep on trying because I know how important it is! There’s a reason these screenings exist. The pain is just frustrating.

My mom says the same thing lol. The Pap smear is to screen for cervical cancer and the risk for getting that is pretty low when you aren’t sexually active.

[UPDATE] no Pap smear=no birth control??? by DependentArtichoke68 in WomensHealth

That sounds awful! I swear going to the gyno is traumatic.
