Kimmy is 19 weeks old
Another week is almost gone. Time flies when you're having fun!
I think Kimmy started teething, she chews a lot, thankfully on appropriate objects mostly. I bought he some pieces of dried/hardened buffalo skins and she loves to chew these, and also rawhide bones and her favourite - stuffed frozen Kongs.
We bought her a new bed because she grew out of the old one, I have to take a photo. I also need to weigh her, she seems heavier again. She is now on Timberwolf kibble, and I add some Almo Natur tinned food to give it a bit of a taste, her fave is chicken and rice. She also likes tuna but is not particularly fond of sardines. Which is just as well because they stink!
Her bladder/bowel control got really good, last week she was left alone in the living room for about 5 hours while we went shopping to Trier, Germany, and she didn't have an accident, that I call a definite breakthrough. I left her two stuffed Kongs and chewy bones so she had something to accupy herself with.
It was an exception to leave her that long, and she did so well.
She doesn't nap nearly as much during the day as she did when she was younger. She follows me around the house wherever I go and is incredibly curious, she literally puts her nose in everything I do.
Our next door neighbour, a retired OB/GYN, is just dying to cuddle her, but she is very slowly overcoming her natural wariness to males. She will come to sniff him, but as soon as he tries to touch her, she backs off again. He thinks she is gorgeous and since he's hard of hearing, he doesn't mind the occasional barking either, ha ha ;)
Kimmy and Gerry really have bonded over the last couple of weeks, she is so happy when he comes home in the evenings, she wags her tail at 100 mph and often piddles a bit on the floor with excitement. She never pees when she sees me so I don't know if I should feel insulted, ha ha - but come to think of it, she is always with me, so there's no need to piddle ;)
Of course, when she does this, we don't say anything and just clean it up, she probably doesn't even realize it.
I bought a clicker on eBay, so I am going to read up on the clicker training method now, and will give it a try. It sounds "easy enough" - click and treat :)
Tomorrow my eldest brother in law is throwing a birthday party for his son, our nephew. I am happy to say that I decided to stay at home with Kimmy instead, ha ha. Gerry and Benny will go without me. Hope they have loads of fun in the garage *cough cough*
