Enjoy that lil baby, take him / her to the vet for reg. shots, check ups and when you see they are not acting their usual self. Be happy in finding YT, making you "aware" of what can happen, not what WILL happen. Relax and enjoy your new lil clown that will give you much love and deep belly laughs. |
Thanks for your kind words.
Just the other day I was getting worried about her biting her feet and scratching her sides, but then I realized that she was just hunting little black ants, which thankfully don't have stings capable of causing any harm to anything bigger than them, but some must have crawled into her fur and causing her to feel itchy. Having little black ants crawl over your body is one of the most annoying feelings ever.
I guess I'm just a little bit more overprotective with her because of how small she is compared to my other dogs. With my labs and golden the most we had to watch out was for them to not swallow anything that they shouldn't, so I was also pretty shocked when I found out that their respective breeds also had a bunch of health issues that could take their lives before reaching their senior years. I'm so glad that the only major issue we have right now with my seniors is that they sometimes develop hot spots that I've to treat before they could get infected.
