[Sugar's Mom]

I want to thank everyone that encouraged me to give Silk more time. She has done a 180 degree turnaround. I placed the ad to start yesterday but after I shut the computer down on Thursday, I took her and Ceeby BOTH outside to play and pee. She sniffed my whole yard and even chased Ceeby a few feet a couple of times. I had been taking her out alone because ceeby runs and jumps her and she would not leave my side. So I was very encouraged by that. yesterday when the phone started ringing, I told people the truth about why I wanted to sell her but told them I was going to give her the weekend. Yesterday all day, every time I took her out she played just a little. She even came off the couch. She wouldn't play fetch tho. She watched me like a hawk. Then she started whining and barking when I left the room. She had not made one sound up to that point. Then I laid down on the couch and pulled her off the back and had her in my lap rubbing her belly. Ceeby came up and sniffed a few times and laid right down beside her. I went to bed at nine thirty last night because I was so tired and felt bad. At ten thirty I had to get up because she was barking every breath. I laid on the couch with her and Ceeby both and she never made another sound. At three this morning, I went back to bed and had to get back up at four to so in the room with her. I am hoping that Ceeby and the family can get some sleep tonight. She ran to meet my hubby when he came home yesterday and she has been down on the floor at the baby gate several times. She is turning all the water bowls over. I bought a bottle and she acts like she don't know what it is. I have never seen her drink yet but the vet says she is drinking when I don't see her. She is peeing and pooing so she must be. Right now, Ceeby is in my lap abd she is lying on the computer table looking me right in the eye. I think things will work out. I am so glad I did not let her go out of discouragement. And almost a hundred percent of people that wanted her, wanted her to breed. They said she has two maybe three more litters left in her and not to give up on her. The main thing is she has warmed up to Ceeby (us,too). He has settled down some and is not aggravating her everytime she gets down. She came off the couch this morning when I tossed her a toy but she didn't take it. I bet she does before the day is over. Now my hubby says I have her spoiled and I probably do because I have been showering attention on her. Just wanted to let you all know I am not selling her and we are all happy.
