12 weeks

Its been quite a tough couple of weeks as the Battle of the Sofa has been raging and Roxy has an unfortunate obsession with a couple of Bella's favourite toys. Roxy's ears are flopping about all over the place, her left ear is almost there, it is upright but a bit limp, and the right has moved forward a bit, but she still looks a rather bedraggled. The vet has told us that she has her doubts that the right ear will go up alone, but we have read that they can take a few months so we haven't given up yet. We are now concentrating on lead training, and are encouraged that she has now stopped chewing on the lead at least! There is now a lovely golden ring around Roxy's neck and her other pale bits are starting to show through. And judging by the amount of black fluff I have hoovered lately, her grown up fur must be on its way. Puppyhood is certainly full of challenges and I am trying to focus on Kate's lovely dog Misty and thinking that one day we will have one of those too!

10 weeks old

Roxy turned 10 weeks old last friday and has grown so much. Her ears have finally started to go up, the left is almost there now. We have been working hard at getting her to take treats gently and we have started introducing the lead ready for when she can go out for walks after her jabs. Sit & Down training are going so well, Come and Heel slightly lagging behand but we'll get there!
