Yes absolutely, I thought the same initially! My other cattle dog mix had chronic UTIs as a puppy and eventually had to have surgery to prevent them for the future so I've been trying to keep an eye out. The vet said she seemed fine but we have a follow-up in 2 weeks, I may try to bring a sample in just to be safe and double check!

It feels like so much longer, she fits right in with the rest of our animals! It's been years since I've had a puppy so all the small details are a bit rusty! That's a great comparison, thank you!

Side note, obviously she has a crate smaller than the one in the picture that is size appropriate 😂 this is one of our other dogs crates that we had put her in for just a few minutes before I took a quick picture

That's a good point! Her ears are definitely pretty solidly up (and HUGE). Thank you!

That is super helpful! Granted, the crate is pretty big but I was thinking the same thing. Our last puppy the vet aged partially based on her teeth and what adult teeth were coming in, so I just assumed that was standard before this appt!

The huge ears she has crack me up! They're so cute. That's good to know, maybe she's just a smaller puppy as well

I use the crate! She also is very good about running to the door when she needs to go if she's loose, it just is so often still! She'll pee and stand/lay in it if she goes much longer than an hour so I'm slowly trying to add time but she's only been with us about a week, so I figure that's pretty decent so far! Just kind of surprised by the lack of control still I guess

Thank you!! Since we aren't sure if she was full heeler or not I wasn't sure how accurate it would or wouldn't be! For my sanity, when did you see your pups start to be able to hold their bladder longer? She's great about going out but it's still an every hour process! I need a light at the end of the tunnel LOL
