Maja getting well :)

One and a half week or so since last health status..

On the good side, Maja's stomach seems to be ok, healthy and happy. That is a great relief to us, as the period with antibiotics shots was quite tough. Poo is a bit weird topic for a blog, but whatever: suffice to say that it is quite normal, but she poos much less now than before; two or three times a day compared to five or six. So, rice is doing it's magic.

On the bad side: she'd rather stay hungry than go back to dry food:) We went for the best and bought Tast of the Wild.. She gets BISON, for pete's sake.. But njeh... She sniffs, takes one or two, walks around in the house a bit and comes back for one and two more. Well, compared to fresh turkey breast, maybe dry food is not the very best:)

Being a dog owner is a blessing, but sometimes also frustrating, at least for me. It's really about time that we take her to courses! Maja is behaving really nicely, she sits for her food and in front of doors, doesn't beg by the table. Miracledog :) But going for a walk with her in the neighbourhood is still a test for my patience sometimes. Four steps and stop. Four steps and stop. Sometimes I really have to concentrate not to let my frustration shine through - she is still quite new to the neighbourhood and there are so many things around, so I really should be patient with her. Now I try to concentrate on that: we go for a walk not to go fast somewhere and come back, but it's her time to look around. The last walk we had we came to some sort of compromise: I decided where to go and we do NOT go back. Maja got full time to sniff and get more familiar with all the smells around.

Besides from that, I have been working quite a bit on the house outdoors lately, and she likes to stay outside with me. I am working on isolation - she is just goofing around, sniffing, digging a bit, running a bit, now and then running to the neighbours lawn - which she perfectly knows that she is not allowed to :)

She is getting more furry and is starting to look like a miniature "real" grown up doggie - I love her as a small puppy, but can't wait to see what she will look like when she grows up and becomes a full size dog :)
