Another update

Well we have moved. How traumatic...lol
We did move far, we are still on the same street. We have a lot more dogs around us now and Zyah has greatly improved on her barking of other dogs. When we see another dog usually I will put her into a "sit" and let her watch the other dog... sometimes the other dog can come up and sniff (this is when it is another puppy).. and if she does bark it might only be one or 2 barks and I tell her "no bark" and its actually working. She is teething right now so she wants to chew chew chew.... she has her appropriate chew toys and every now and then she will think a hand, arm is an approved chew toy...when we say Owe! she stops and then kisses... She lost her last front tooth last night and a new tooth bud has laready popped through.

We get alot of compliments on her. Asking where we got her, if she is full blood, who her breeder is, etc.... SO when we hear these we tell them that she came from animal control and that they should search on petfinder.com We believe, vet believes that she is full blooded...but in all we really do not care if she is or is not... She is perfect for us. She knows how to steal extra hugs and kisses..
When hubby and kids are wrestling around she tries to get in between them to protect them... She still barks when the kids "have gone to far" She is such a joy!

She has her appointment to be spayed in a couple weeks (waiting for her yeast infection to completely heal for her to be in the healthiest state). She is never left alone with any dogs and is always constantly with us (except when we go grocery shopping then she is crated) She picks up the kids with us, drops them off, etc...

She is meeting with her groomer in a few days to get all prettied up, and use to the grooming process, which is bath, dry, nails, ears, etc...

We are toying around with the idea of getting another shepherd after she is spayed and secure in her training (she's gonna go to beginner plus classes) She will do anything for a treat...

I would post some pics as I said I would last time...but some little 4 legged princes, with big ole ears that get HBO...anyhoo...she saw a cord dangling off the counter and yanked it down... attached ont he other side was my camera charger with my camera... both busted when they came crashing down on the ceramic tile.. SO no pics... unless i use my camera phone which isnt that great...

but I have a feeling maybe Tom the turkey will bring me a camera before the holidays... Just got a hunch...

Hope all is well,

Mitch, Kym, Cameron, Alyssa

in our puppy section:
Zyah..

Zyah had an unexpected vet...

Today we had to go back to the vets... she is now 18 pounds. She had an irriation under her armpit and looked scabby...first thing that came to mind was mange....bleck!
After a skin scrape it turns out to be a yeast infection.. she is now on antibiotics and a medicated bath 2x a week...(can't wait for that)

Zyah is doing really good... She almost is housebroken completely... less than an accident a day...woohooooooo!!!!!!!! She has had 2 private lessons with mr Roy and he even mentions how independent she is...lol But she is doing great... the only issue we are kinda having is her fear of other dogs.... We think she was attacked by another dog... each dog she sees she barks at like a yappy yorkie.. we can be a block away and don't even have to pass her by another dog...if she spots another pooch....then she'll bark...

Last week we took her to marigold Festival and she did wonderful with all the people that came by to see her... let alone it took forever to walk....with awe is that a puppy... is that a miniature husky (huh?) is that a terrior (ummmm?) stay away thats a wolf (really?) some guess she was a german shepherd....

We are working on socializing her more with other dogs...even if its just to pass by on the other side of the road...

She is very protective of the kids... if they go to far she will bark and bark till they came back especially my 4 yr old... I must admit I do enjoy that...lol

I will post some more pix later tonight...
