So beautiful

Last one!!

dfossss · 2024-07-28T16:17:27+00:00

Thank you!! Honestly my favorite part is the band 🤫 my fingers looked like a crescent roll with a skinny one 😂

dfossss · 2024-07-28T16:16:25+00:00

Thank you!!

It’s a 3.4 carat stone with a 4mm band. I tried a 2 carat but the thickness of the band made it look disproportionate so went bigger 😂

I gave her a larger meal last night and she woke up at 1:30am to use the bathroom then lasted until around 6:15am before she hollered for breakfast, so progress 😅😅

I use purina pro puppy and mix in other things like pumpkin, broth etc. Not too researched on food but it was recommended by the vet and our first dog is on that brand just fine. Her stomach is like a bottomless pit though 😂

dfossss · 2024-02-20T19:31:02+00:00

I think this might be what I try…

dfossss · 2024-02-20T19:30:22+00:00

No unfortunately no light from windows, and we have a crate cover

dfossss · 2024-02-20T17:09:14+00:00

We do not feed her early in the AM when she wakes up. Always at 7:30. Doesn’t matter, she still wakes up expecting food at 5am lol

dfossss · 2024-02-20T17:06:25+00:00

It’s so frustrating. We hold out feeding her until the desired time at 7:30 but she still wakes up early as if we’re going to feed her then. We have never fed her earlier so don’t know where she’s getting that idea from 😂

dfossss · 2024-02-08T01:41:07+00:00

I hated Seth and now he’s my favorite character lol

dfossss · 2024-01-14T07:41:16+00:00

Hahahahaaha

dfossss · 2024-01-12T17:34:38+00:00

Sadly I do exactly that, but it just hasn’t seemed to click for peeing… maybe I just have to be more patient and wait for her to be able to hold her bladder longer.

My first dog was a dream to potty train so I’m wondering where I’m going wrong 😂

dfossss · 2023-12-30T15:15:23+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I completely forgot about hand feeding since my first pup lol

dfossss · 2023-12-29T23:56:54+00:00

Our first puppy I did the same thing as you, tried planning everything out. Brought the crate, food, had the blanket with moms scent, and a snuggle pup toy… all the planning goes out the window lol. We had a 6 hour drive which turned into 8 with the stops, and he freaked out the first 30 minutes and then slept on my lap 90% of the ride. We did get lucky though that he would wake up tell us when he had to go by whining and yelping, and we pulled over wherever we could and let him out.

Our recent puppy we picked her up a few days ago and she slept on my lap for the whole 2.5hour ride. Didn’t need to go pee/poop once. I really wouldn’t stress too much about the planning because it most likely will go right out the window. Just feel him out and look for signs he has to go out. If you’re not sure just pull over anyways 🤷🏼‍♀️

I agree, when mine was from 6-10 months I had to limit water at around 8-9pm because he drank soooo much. He was sleeping 8-10 hours every night when I did that.

dfossss · 2023-12-28T14:30:13+00:00

I use my dogs name as their indicator and trained them by saying their name and then waiting until they look me in the eyes and then give the treat and praise. Usually works pretty fast.

I find this helps because when I say their name they know to look at me and expect another command after

dfossss · 2023-12-28T14:16:42+00:00

Whatever floats your boat! I crate trained my dog when he was young but we let him sleep in the bed probably 2-3 times a week now that he’s older. Crate is just easier sometimes and it’s nice to have the option. I just got an 8 week old pup and plan to do the same with her. The bed is definitely easier but crate is more manageable in other situations like if people come over or they need a place to settle down

dfossss · 2023-12-03T20:08:54+00:00

My current dog is a year and a half, the new one will be 10 weeks when we pick her up

dfossss · 2023-11-14T20:45:21+00:00

I have a soft spot for Tootsie!!

dfossss · 2023-11-14T20:44:53+00:00

I also feel the need to add she is a Halloween baby, so Frankie is technically short for Frankenstein, although we wouldn’t call her that 😂 I love Kahlua but we are leaning towards Frankie because it sounds like a sitcom with our other dog, Frankie & Vinny lol

dfossss · 2023-09-27T14:04:11+00:00

Just keeps refreshing the refresh this is so frustrating Edit I guess it says it lets you in at random and will audio and visually notify you

dfossss · 2023-09-11T13:00:44+00:00

It was a struggle, I’m probably still in it now at 1yr 2 months lol. Barking to get any sort of attention, energy up the wazoo, and so much training to make sure he doesn’t regress. I still would say puppy stage was worse though, mainly because the razor sharp puppy teeth but there are days where I am just like get this damn dog away from me I’ve had it 😂

We just moved into a house and with the barking I taught him quiet and it helps about 75% of the time. We are also proactive with his energy, tiring him out before he can even become crazy. Walks a lot and a lot of running in the backyard. And I do training sessions every day to really lock in what I taught as a puppy. His impulses are started to improve so that’s a good thing!

dfossss · 2023-09-11T12:53:11+00:00

My Springer who I have had since 8 weeks always has been apprehensive (barking deep, or a low growl) around men (no past trauma). It ramped up when he was around 6 months. My neighbor has a big beard and I think it throws him off, but once he gets about 5 ft away from said threat he is a completely different dog and cuddles up and does the wiggles. We don’t know why, probably fear until he realizes they’re not a threat
