So, during Ein's recovery period from her spay surgery, I knew we might have some trouble with getting her to go the bathroom in the yard, but if she had no where else to go, she had no choice, right? And of course she held it and held it and held it. One call to the vet had a vet tech telling me that it would be okay to drive her to the park where she will do her business. So I did that for a couple days. Then I noticed her spay incision seemed open. I don't know if it was from licking or…

Ein had her spay surgery this morning. Her mommy days are officially over! (Note: I never bred her---but she came from a corgi breeder). The vet sent me a text with a picture of her post surgery. She looked good. She comes home tomorrow. The house is awfully quiet without her!

Today we've had Ein for one month! The breeder we bought her from gave us a 30 day trial period (money back if we decided to return her), but there was never any doubt we'd be keeping her.

We tried for a year to adopt a rescue. They were in short supply to begin with, and the rescue…

I think I accidentally trained her to think she's only supposed to potty on her walks. The first few days we had her, I took her on lots of walks because it really seemed to ground her and helped with her new-home nervousness. And she always happened to potty on her walks. I didn't think anything of it at first. We're going on 12…
