Poor Mia. With her mom being pregnant and her dad being busy with work, she seems to be getting pushed to the side a lot these days at home (except for her full days at daycare) She isn't acting up at all, her stomach is doing just fine, I think she's just wishing for more attention but there's just so much going on with the adults. Out in the world, all she wants is to socialize, and at home all she wants is to lounge with a companion so she's sort of like WTF?! Even her blog is being neglected.
We took her to the vet last weekend to get updated on her shots, and she went bananas. I thought that we were past this, since the last time I brought her in there myself she did really really well. This time, not so much. Maybe there was just a little bit too much going on with kids there and other dogs, but at least she didn't pee on the floor or anything....just barked mortifyingly loud.
I've had to restrict her free ranging because the last time I let her do it, she chased a squirrel into the woods right next to the road where she ran around sniffing like a mad animal in the road then back in the yard then back in the road, etc. She has no awareness of cars, so I was Not pleased. The squirrel had completely taken over her brain, and the usual ways I get her back easily were not working: walking back inside, saying "let's go back inside", calling her name, shaking a bag of treats, pulling out a treat and having her walk towards me, etc. Finally, I had to just chase her into the woods and grab her, while repeatedly yelling at her - I'm sure the neighbors could hear me being nuts. I got burs stuck in my work pants - my Only maternity work pants mind you, which we found all over the house for days after. She has not been allowed to be free and easy ever since then and she has Not forgotten about the squirrel, she looks at those woods every day wishing for it to reappear. She's not the brightest dog in the world, but she does not forget animal sightings - Ever.
