Rylie made her fall in love <3 And you all know what THAT means... when I move out I'll need to get a 2nd so Rylie still has a friend!

Oh yay! And CONGRATS! Can't wait to see the new addition.

And I didn't even have to perform any heavy-enabling

Any tips on taking a pup that isn't fully potty trained yet out? (Note: She is potty patch trained too, not outside trained yet because of the cold weather... I plan to work on that once the weather gets nicer).

Frist of all she looks beautiful! Second of all I think I can help with this.

Layla is 3 mo. old and though shes pretty good with the pad she still has a small bladder and can't hold it too long when we go out. So I take a peepee pad with me in her carrier. I go to a restroom or secluded area if I'm shopping and put the pad down and she usually pees right away. If she doesn't I make her go anyway because I taught her how to pee on command.

Hope this helps!

It is always hard to leave them alone and even more in a stranger's place. Every day when I go to work I tell my Girls that I will be right back and to be good Girls! Even if I leave for 5 minutes when I come back they greet me like if I had been gone for a week.
This is love at its pure sincere level.
Don't worry your little Angel will be just fine.

I understand how you feel, Andy is 2 years old and has never been to the groomers. I have a few reasons why but the main one is I can't leave him there. I have my hairdresser and barber licence sooooooooo I thought why not. I worked a long time ago at a groomer doing the brushouts. With all that I bought the equipment and I do Andy's grooming myself.

I know I'm a great one for advise but each time will get better for you and in the long run if they are a good breeder and treat him well each time will be better for him and separation is suppose to be good ? lol

I wonder how many Mom's are seen peeking in the window at the Groomers hahahaha

It makes her look like she has laser eyes!

I might try to put bows in her hair more often, but she tends to go after them when I do it.

She looks gorgeous! The groomer did a great job.

I HATE dropping mine off too, but I trust my groomer a lot, she is so great to them and I get them back pretty quickly. She usually has them about 3 hours- which isn't bad for having to do two dogs. I tell her to crate them together if they are both in the crate at the same time. I made sure to inspect her whole facility to make sure I was happy with it and trusted her. Did she think I was a little nuts at first? Maybe. But thats okay, I don't like when places have back rooms you can't see. I want to see everywhere my baby is going to be.

I am also "that mom" when I drop my kids off at the vet for any length of time, I come armed with food, treats, blankets, and toys for them

I always wondered if they thought I was just a tad bit neurotic but I have heard them talking bad about people who don't take care of their dogs, or dont seem to care about their pets, so at least I know they aren't talking about me that way. If the worst someone can say about me is that I am a little overprotective or "crazy" thats A OK with me.

As far as the eye shine, my Chloe has the same thing!

So annoying for pictures.

LOL Once you have one these little ones it doesn't take much arm twisting to get another

Like I've said before... potato chips...

It will be awhile before the new addition, but I'll keep you guys posted. She isn't even conceived yet... lol. We like to plan ahead at our house

That's a good idea! To be honest I don't know if she'll go on the pad without the fake grass underneath it... granted I think she will.

You taught her to pee on command??? Call me jealous

Gotta love the laser eyes, pew pew!

It was easy (sort of). I just put the pee pad in a corner sat at the other end at times I knew she had to go. I just kept tapping the pad and would say "go pee!" until she peed. She would try to escape me but I'd pick her up and put her on the pad / not let her pass me at all. As soon as she pee'd I'd say good girl (make a fuss) and let her run around and finally play. She's only 3 months and can do it so I'm sure any other baby could do it, too!

It didn't take her long to realize that if she wanted to be free to play she had to pee on the pad first. xD Now I say go pee and she usually goes, especially if I insist, because she knows that otherwise she's stuck on the pad and that's no fun! Haha

ROFL that would be really handy for when Rylie starts outside training, but she goes to her pad on her own and does her thing by herself. I used to insist "go potty" at night (back when she couldn't last the night), but now she just does her own thing. However, we did have an accident today on the throw rug in the bathroom because mommy had to go pee and OF COURSE Rylie had to come with... away from her pee pad

Ivy1 · 12-30-2010, 09:06 PM

I feel for you.Its just like sending off your child to pre-school.Hopefully the grooming session was only 2 hours and she will be ba ck in her Mommy's arms in no time. Please keep us posted.

Her grooming appointment was on Wednesday. She was out pretty quick and came out looking pretty! See the updates further along in the thread.

Thanks for the sympathies though!

She pottys at home fine with out guidance anymore thank God

but I meant that this is particularly useful when we are going to go out and I know it will be for a few hours. So I can have an idea of when to put her down to pee when im at a store etc.

marcie · 12-31-2010, 07:18 AM

She is so cute with her new look. Really is something the way they like to pose after the new cut. Really like the bow, too.
Marcie's groomer only does Yorkies. I am lucky to have her. I expected Marcie to be as nervous as I was for the first visit, but she ran up to the groomer and gave her sweet kisses.
