what a week!

winnie is losing teeth like crazy... which means she isn't eating her kibble as ferociously. We think she has also had a cold because she was sneezing and snorting a bunch. Needless to say my baby was a bit more subdued this weekend.

We (after reading about other's use of it) invested in a furminator and it worked great. we had been brushing winnie at least once a day with little effect. now it is 4 days later and her coat is still looking great with minimal brushing.

winnie is now trying to learn leash manners (walking on a loose leash) and we have had to revert back to just practicing sit. Apparently trying to teach her stay made her forget how to sit.

I am starting to worry about my trip. I am worried that she will act out or get very depressed. It's only me thats going (daddy will be home) but I'll be gone for 9 days.

Comment by winnie_the_dog on March 4, 2008 at 11:04pm: the snorting stopped for the most part but she is still sneezing. Though she has a lot more energy today.

Comment by Sam on March 4, 2008 at 9:18pm: If she is sneezing frequently and a bit off her food it may be wise to consider a trip to the vet. Not sure her age but if she is still pretty young pups can get ill pretty quickly. Lethargy and not eating are two signs to always watch for.

Comment by Kristen on March 4, 2008 at 4:28pm: There is no doubt Winnie will miss you, but it might be a good bonding time for dad. He will want to watch for signs of separation anxiety and shower her with attention. You might want to have daddy video your return. If Winnie is like any of my Corgis it will make for a good show.
