Mina came to me pad trained,that lasted 3days,she saw that the other dogs went outside and she wanted to go with. She was only allowed to be in her backyard until she was 16wks. She attended her first motorcycle rally at 16wks,but touched the ground ONLY to potty and then I washer her feet. I still wash her feet when we have been somewhere that isnt home,although this wont keep her from getting sick. I washed my kids hands first thing when we arrived home from being out and I do believe that it helped.
I think of Mina as I did my kids when they were little and try to have as much common sense about her. When taking her in public,I dont assume that other petparents care about their babys as much as I care about mine and therefore dont allow her near most dogs that I dont know. The exception to this has been the people from YT that I have met face to face. |
