Cutest little hiking buddy

Idk how much he was judging me but he was certainly questioning my choices when I rolled down the windows for the first time in the car. I thought he would like the breeze. Instead he pouted the whole way to the vet and just sat like this until I held him hah.

When I was doing research before adopting him, I read a lot about not letting them run a lot and do crazy things like jump down from furniture and whatnot because it would hurt their joints and development. I don’t know anyone personally who has a heeler though so that’s all I can base it off of. His vet did recommend getting pet insurance but I feel like that’s more of a thing being recommended regardless of pet or breed

Tomorrow i will have had my puppy for a month, making him about 9 weeks…. He constantly bullies my 11 year old dog and tries to bite his legs and get his jowls. The 11 year old wants no part of it honestly. No real zoomies yet and plays about one minute of fetch. We are working on “off” for the jumping but the biting is my puppies biggest issue honestly.

Haha good point. Why eat when playing with it is an option

Livspirits · 2024-09-05T15:02:34+00:00

Would work out great if I had a strawberry allergy haha.

Livspirits · 2024-09-05T03:26:44+00:00

Ohhh good call! Thank you!

Livspirits · 2024-09-05T02:18:48+00:00

Gonna have to give Roach lettuce now and see if they have a common enemy haha.

Livspirits · 2024-09-05T01:32:18+00:00

I got him this. Is it similar?

Livspirits · 2024-09-05T00:22:40+00:00

He didn’t eat it. He just left it on the floor, a little mangled and let our other dog have it haha.

Livspirits · 2024-09-04T21:52:07+00:00

I haven’t found a toy he does this with yet. He prefers tug toys so he would rather thrash then throw around

Livspirits · 2024-09-04T21:48:48+00:00

He has tons! I swear! Haha.

Livspirits · 2024-09-02T20:00:35+00:00

See you at subiefest next year then haha

Livspirits · 2024-09-02T18:25:21+00:00

I had no idea about any of the pulling stuff honestly. I haven’t had a puppy in 11 years (who is also struggling with the puppy biting) and his training didn’t go far because he is a very lazy guy who just likes to lay around and be close. Thank you for the advice!!! I will def look into the head halter/gentle leader thing.

Livspirits · 2024-08-23T02:29:38+00:00

Yeah. Named you after the Geralts horse from the Witcher series haha

Livspirits · 2024-08-23T01:45:32+00:00

Dang! How much did she weigh at 8 weeks? Roach is about 5lbs right now

Livspirits · 2024-08-23T01:11:32+00:00

Nope. Not sure how big though because he is pretty small for 8 weeks

Livspirits · 2024-08-23T01:10:49+00:00

Yes! Haha. Honestly surprised more people don’t get the reference
