typsy bandit is beyond funny!!! :p that will def. be one of her nicknames!! i already have quite a few for her, she seems to know when i'm talking to her regardless :)

thanks!! she's gone #1 several times, but no #2 yesterday after she ate or today yet ... i'm gonna take her out again shortly, but i'll let the vet know....

she does have long legs!! you should see her prancing around, it almost reminds me of a teeny tiny horse :D

why do you think your baby might be a mix?!? she looks all yorkie to me, both of them are cuties!!! :)

they have a spa facial scrub for dogs?!? now that's funny!!! :) what's the brand name?

I think you're better off with no flea treatment at this point. Those flea collars are nasty things! If they can burn a ring into a wooden dresser, imagine what they can do to your baby's neck! :eek:

Did your baby girl come with her health files? If not that is something you need to have in your hands to show your vet. Otherwise, some vaccine happy vets will do her vaccines all over since they can't verify she's up to date. Even if she just saw a vet before being placed with you, you need to take her in ASAP to have her checked out and to have all your questions answered. I know you don't want to stress your baby but the vet trip is for your own piece of mind. Kaji had 3 vet visits in a matter of a week and a half when he came home. His first was right before he was given to me, the breeder took him; his second 3 days from him coming home, and the third was on day 6 of him coming home for his neuter. I was able to ask the vet a zillion questions which really gave my mind a break. It was going a million miles a minute those first 2 weeks!

SPA is the brand:

Spa Lavish Pet Facial Scrub (8 oz)

i have her vaccination certificate from the vet, but that's it. do you really like your vet? would you recommend? details, details!!! i will take her this week, the more time goes past, the more questions i have, you are right....

thanks a bunch!!

latest update: we went for a long walk today and typsy did sooooo great!!!! :D she has really gotten the hang of walking on a leash. one time, she was so on top of her game that the leash stayed completely slack for such a long time, i was afraid for a split second that she had somehow ran off!!!

she is still scared of other dogs. she is quiet with them, never barks, but may growl a bit if they get too close. mostly, she just tries to kind of hide behind me. she's also scared of other people walking down the street towards us.

i put her in her beautiful gunmetal kwigy bo alex bag (shout out to RYAN for the great service :)) and she was chilling in there. no one even knew i had her until i said something. it's interesting b/c she will resist me when i try to zip up the bag, so i just have to make her sit and then lay down first. once she's in there, she's fine.

i also noticed that when she eats, she goes to her pee-pee pad within 2 minutes to pee and then she goes back and eats more ... it is the weirdest thing!!! how am i going to housebreak her when she doesn't even give me a chance to get her outside?!? :confused:

I do like my vet. She's reasonably priced and she always does a really thorough exam. She could use a lesson or two on bedside manner. :rolleyes: She's blunt, but honest, and doesn't mind answering a few questions over the phone. Only big problem is... she's in IRVINE! I'm still using the vet I used when I lived there. I've been researching and researching and I have yet to find one that I'm happy with in LA. They all sound so sleazy in my immediate area. :(

Congradulations on your little girl. She is just adorable. My little Heidi developed a skin infection- I think it was staph and she had an odor that I couldn't get rid of. Her vet put her on antibotics and it cleared up. I adopted alittle yorkie last yr that was one and she only weighed 2.2 lbs and was so thin and her coat left alittle to be desired. After about 3-4 weeks she gained weight. The last vet visit she was 3.8 lbs which is a good weight for her. She looks alot healthier, her coat is beautiful and she acts like a completely different dog. Good luck and bless you for taking in a little rescue in need. My rescues have been just wonderful little dogs.:)

wow jolie is cute +) is different

I don't know. She's already pad trained. You don't have very much bad weather there, but have you thought of what you would do when it was thundering & lightning & pouring down rain? Just something to think about.:) I do like the name Jolie. It's cute.

Awwwwwww she is sooooo cute! I think she just needs time to settle in. I use a damp warm paper towel to wash bailey's face (eyes) pee pee and feet. i do it very gently and give him a treat after so he knows it's a happy time. what are you switching her to food wise? what is she on now?
