Wow!! Everything sounds to be going well, weight loss AND a new puppy

Oooh, can we (well... I!) request a puppy pic????

Lemon_Tree

if I can figure out how to get a piccie on here i'd do the honours Nat.
had a rough night with her last night as she wasn't asleep before we went upstairs so we had to try and be strong and leave her to cry and settle down herself.
Think I need to make a 'sorry' card for the neighbours on her behalf to explain the situation.

I have nights like that with my two quite often!!!! And mine aren't puppies!

Hope she settles in soon for you x

poor you Starnac, she was pretty good last night, only cried for 5 mins when first put to bed and then for 15 mins at about half 7 but then she calmed down.
just need to figure out how to stop her from chewing everything including me. Two options spring to mind - bite her back or remove the teeth! lol not sure either option is viable though lol

Knit_Witch

try freezing carrot sticks and when she starts chewing give her one of those!

Lemon_Tree

not heard of that one, is she supposed to like them? I was wondering about painting my feet with citronella or something as she seems to find them very tasty at the moment.

Toby loved them! also very helpful when they are teething as the coolness soothes the mouth

as for the puppy crying at night, what toys does she have in her basket? Get a soft toy from the CS and you cuddle it so it gets your scent then give it to her. It'll help soothe her. My first husky had an old t-shirt of mine, went to bed with her (and she was 13!).
