After a couple months with Dallas, I'm sure our regular readers are curious as to how she's been doing.. so here goes.
We've squashed most of the behavior issues we saw early on in our relationship, and she's now a mostly-perfect-angel, so long as she doesn't have a raw-hide bone to protect. I've been teaching her tricks, which she picks up on really quickly. It only took her a few days to learn "stay", and with just a few minutes work she learned to shake, rollover, and dance. Rolling over is sometimes a challenge and she ends up doing a lay down and then sit up while spinning on her butt move. It's hilarious to watch.
We came upon a bit of a surprise this weekend while in duluth with her... apparently our vet was wrong and she isn't actually spayed. After cleaning up a bit of a mess on Emily's parent's kitchen floor, we had to shuffle her into the car and rush home, get her diapered up, and try to reinforce that we're not evil people for strapping a disposable diaper on her. I'll be calling the vet monday to find out if we can Spay her in the current condition or if we have to deal with this cycle and do it afterwards. In the meantime, it's quite hilarious (sorry dallas) to have a dog wearing a diaper.
