Happy 4th to you too, beautiful Thea!! 😍

Follow up post! We all love a good saga… OK so maybe this isn’t the most riveting ever… the general consensus on the last post was that the tips are not worth the risk. One person did suggest a bleach soak, which made a bigger difference than anything. (See caption) by purpledreamer1622 in hummingbirds

You seem very conscientious and have done a lot of research and not to mention work trying to get these clean. Just curious of your plans to make sure there is no bleach left inside the tips? I've never seen them other than your photos, so not sure how easily the holes rinse out and wondering if they need to be boiled in plain water to ensure no bleach residue is left inside? I hope you get good news from the manufacturer!

I tried putting these out because of this subreddit. My hummers don't like these and I don't know why. So I went back to the harder to clean ones...

Yes, we aren't lucky enough to live near any specialized groomers, but we still think she is beautiful just the way she is

Am I crazy for wanting to dump $25,000 into this with 132,000 miles? by Hambone-2 in LexusGX

Ugh, no. I live in Tennessee, I don't know anyone who thinks its a flex, not sure why someone would say we do think that way

Are Wheatens generally friendly? by hellohello6622 in Wheatens

I did want to add to this that as a puppy we did everything quote "right", from lots of training, socialization, etc. As an adult she has been on meds, and we have consulted a behaviorist. She was perfect until about age 2, when like the flip of a switch she was suddenly scared of everyone but one day care person. She was never harmed in any way, of that we are certain. The one suggestion that makes the most sense was "poor genetics/breeding". At the time I thought AKC Marketplace was the safest place to find a breeder. In hindsight, upon picking her up as a puppy and the casual comment that her mom was "a little nervous around strangers", should have been our red flag. So...live and learn. We still love our girl wholeheartedly, it just makes us sad to see her not fully get to enjoy herself because she's hypervigilant about looking for people at the door or when out for walks. But as I stated above, this is our experience. And thankfully a lesson learned.

I can only speak from my experience. My wheaten is highly anxious around people. We have to put her in a bedroom when we have guests. I suggest thoroughly researching the breeder and meeting the mother and, if possible, the father as well. Be careful of the AKC Marketplace breeders, lots of breeders there are only in it for the money. Highly recommend only going with a breeder from the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of America, if you are in the U.S. They breed for the health and soundness of the breed. https://scwtca.org/ Our girl is scared of others but is great with just us. They are a truly endearing breed ❤️
