MOLLY - update
"Molly has settled in nicely. She has become my little velcro-puppy following me from room to room and enjoying everything her new home has to offer. Toilet training is going well, she is in the crate at night and only needing to go out once during the night, but still waking in the morning on Sydney daylight savings time! She has the occasional accident during the day in the house, but I put that down to the doors being closed and the air-con on, so I just need to supervise and read her cues better.
She had an outing to the beach yesterday, we sat for a while on a towel and watched the world go by - part of her socialisation, but I am careful to keep her off the ground until she receives all her vaccinations. Today she enjoyed playing in the garden under a doggy fountain. She seems to love the water - we have a pet drinking fountain that she just can’t resist getting into each time she drinks!
She is a bit of a princess when it comes to meal-times, she tries to turn food into a game chasing kibble around the floor, and doesn’t “tuck-in” to her food like she’s hungry, but today I have utilised a snuffle-mat and the silicone slow-feed mat and she ate much more having to “work” for her food! I will weigh her this weekend to make sure she is still gaining.
She is a wonderful little puppy, very playful and cute, and is making herself at home. This morning she chose to sleep on my (worn) bed t-shirt rather than her siblings’ blanket so I take that as a positive sign that she is bonding with me!
Thanks for everything you have done for her and I will be sure to keep you posted on her achievements along the way."
