Reading all these post of puppys chew everything and dogs it makes me sooooooo thankful our dog does not chew on stuff:D.

We did have a family with a dog that lived with us for a while that chewed anything she could get her mouth on:somad. There were some nights she was a big pain. I was kinda glad when she left.

Thanks Bay- much better!

With all the projects going on in the house it is mayhem!

Rita... oh my Rita.
So hard to put into written words.
She loves the family but I am her person. She is "my" dog.

She can get so wild with the family and she doesn't listen when they say no :rolleyes: she thinks that means "play with me and bite me more please".... then she will be wild and come running over and she will open her mouth and then her eyes see it is me.
LICK LICK LICK I love you mommy! You can see her eyes giving her away... like she is reminding herself "no bite, no bite, kiss only, this is mommy...never bite mommy... I did it!" :lol::lol::lol:

All I have to say is Rita and she stops whatever she is doing. :D
When I walk in a room she runs to me.

DOGS LOVE THEIR TRAINERS! :love:love:love
The bond is already so strong.
My one son said, "she likes me best because I don't tell her no all the time!"
I laughed I said "dogs love to be trained and they are happiest when they are."
"LIKE CHILDREN!" :lol::lol::lol:

I fell asleep today on the couch, needed a nap. DH said Rita went looking around and climbed up on the couch on the opposite side of the "L" and layed down with her face just barely touching my head! You know she is smart too... she never tries to wake me up, it is like somehow she knows and just is calm.
If I am on the computer she lays right at my feet.

Today she sassed me! I closed the door to the FR when I went out of the room... she didn't want to stay out there so she starts barking at the door.
That is a NO NO!
I yell to her NO RITA! QUIET!
She lets out this last "sassy" bark....

She thought she was having the last word... :rolleyes:
I walked over opened the door looked down and said, "Rita, you will NOT sass me. NO!" ( I am :lol: on the inside- sassy brat)
She looks up with those "eyes" where some of the bottom whites of her eyes are showing... with that face.... and sits. QUIETLY.
I closed the door. I hear thud. She laid down like a good girl.

She has her moments of pi$$ and vinegar for sure!

Potty training is FINALLY coming along!
She is now running to the door and scratching at it! :bow:bow:bow

I swear she poops MORE than we put into her. :eek:
Not sure how that is possible but I swear she does! :\

oh yeah, forgot to mention... this girl can LEAP! It is crazy how high and far she can leap!

Must say it is so cool in the morning when she first sees me and she runs and just gets so happy to see "mommy".

Sure do love her! :love:love:love

Aww Rita! I swear this is killing me... She is a long lost sister to my dog. She poops constantly and sasses us all the time, and is always chewing on my husband. I have to get her to behave because he doesn't!

How much does she weigh now? Has she caught up to where she should be?

Oh and where are the pictures??:D

she sounds adorable. Weaving herself into your heart isn't she?

Glad that you are feeling better, hope you continue to improve. Every body else in the family can get sick and the household still runs. But let MOM go down and everything is a train wreck! :lol:

She really is a good dog. Or will be one at least. :lol:

Yes I do love her she is my baby girl!

Now you know why I like to train dogs and send them off... if they stay they are all "my" dogs. Next to me GW and my little daughter as OFA calls her "little bit" are next. GW has learned a great deal in regard to training and little bit is a natural. She really can and does train everything, no matter the species. I really am amazaed at her capabilities.

Bay you are so right about the mom thing. They all had it before me... in a big family it takes forever to go through because every 3-4 days the next person gets it... by then I am kinda run down and end up with it last. Of course by then everyone is better and I do't get the rest time I need. If mom has a say "off" they it seems everyone thinks they have the day off too. :rolleyes:

The last time everyone in my house got sick I ended up asking my husband if he realized I had the exact same thing as him and do you hear me whining about it? Lol

Seriously... He doesn't even know how to feed my goats. The one time he tried to do chores for me I ended up outside anyway. At least he tried! :lol:

Heck- I finally learned I can whine too!
Oh and I do! :p I even say it! :weee
I'm whining because I don't feel good... I'm sick.... I'm going to whine.
Makes my kids laugh and they do a better job of letting me rest- But YES, I LEARNED TO WHINE!
:lol::lol::lol:
