Damn I am growing..

At 5 months, I am 40 lbs.  Just a month ago I was 24 lbs.  I've nearly doubled in weight, isn't that crazy?  The doctors have mixed ideas about how much I will weigh once I stop growing - they say around 60, then another says more towards 80 to 100lbs.  I have no idea how big I'll be, I hope I'll be as huge as can be.  Doctor also said all my baby teeth are gone, all I have are my big girl teeth.   As I get older I am developing some bad habits.  Moms is trying to get me to stop, but I feel like I am the queen of the castle, when ever she scolds me I just think she is playing.

Finally..

I've been well for more than a week, thanks to that final round of serious antibiotics, and mom giving me yogurt with my breakfast and dinner.  Since my tummy is feeling better I am really getting better at the whole potty thing. I've even begun nuzzling the leash when I need to go out and do number two, if only I could do that for number one, we'd be all good. 

 

Lately I have been losing quite a few teeth.  Tonight I scared mom cause I had blood all over my toys.  She is silly sometimes, worries way too much. I've eaten most of my teeth, but I let her find two.

 

My mom has to keep me in my crate more than she or I like, but there aren't many other options.  When she leaves me out I tear the room apart, and poop and pee all over.  She thinks I have abandonment issues.  She either plays oldies or cartoons for me while she is gone. I lovvve watching t.v..  

still sick

Today when I was out with my mom in the morning, she noticed that my stool was very runny and had bright red blood in it.  She decided to skip her two classes today, and take me to the doctor.  They tested me for giardia, but the tests were negetive - never the less, the doctor put me on some serious medication cause he said my stool was very severe.  If I am not better by tomorrow morning, I will have to go back to the doctor. 

 

Mommy felt so bad for me she got me a new bed for my cage, new treats, and toys - even some treats fortified with vitimans for my cage time.

 

I hope I will get better, enough so i can get my vaccinations and spay.  

 

Its been a hard couple of days

I just got adopted to a very loving home, with my new mom -  Maggs, and my new dad, James.  I came from southern Missouri, and the drove all the way down to get me - to bring me to Maggs' warm home.  She had a crate for me, my own bed, towels, food and food dishes, even some treats.  When we went to petsmart she let me pick my own collar and toys, she wanted me to really like whatever we purchased.  I got pretty scared coming into the store, so daddy had to carry me to the toy section, and around parts of the store.

 

I've been pretty happy here. We cuddle and play a lot.  Mom wakes up just to take me out and tell me she loves me.  I eat three times a day, small meals - since mommy thinks that'll help me learn to control my potty problems.  Speaking of potty problems, I am trying to learn that the only place to potty is outside, but its difficult.  I've had 5 or 6 accident since I've come home.  Sometimes I pee as I eat, and lately I've got some really bad diahreah. Moms thinks its cause my diet changed, and dad thinks the oatmeal in my training aids is making me sick.  Both think I need to go to the doctor.  I haven't been to one since I was adopted, cause of the holiday - so we need to do that.

 

Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight without having accidents in the cage.  I hate making mommy have to clean them, I hate having to sit in them, and I hattttte taking a bath afterwords. I get cold.  Only upside is mom cuddles me until I am dry and warm, and I get a fresh warm towel from the dryer for my cage.

 

If any puppies have some tips for me - about learning to potty, or how to get over the diahreah, that'd be swell.
