Re: Trying again

[Guest guest]

Thanks Catalina. I have a new reason to take multiple walks a day. A dog!!!

I'm dog-sitting, possible permanently. Her owner broke her hip yesterday, and I

have full custody. I feel bad for the owner, but I love having a dog.

Welcome back on the wagon, we saved you a place. =+)

really can only use my arm when I need to. No lifting, carrying,

etc. So for the last week or so, I ate everything in sight. All the

yummy foods I had missed. Today, I'm back on track. I can walk and

do stairs, but no biking. In two weeks, I can start very light

exercises (no weights). In a month, I can resume weights. But this

time, I'm going to stay with the light weights. I can't afford to

miss class because I felt like pushing my body. Well, off to get

started on a busy day.

Wow thanks I am going to look for one the next time I am up by the

pet store. That sounds just like what we may need. Odd thing about

this sitting/begging thing she does is she started that by herself

actually. We thought it was cute and just encouraged her to keep

doing it. Now she does it without you asking. She can sit on her

bottom..front feet raised for 5 min at a time. But now I am worried

that I should discourage her from doing it. Her mommy is pure

basset..dad well I have my suspiions about him being a pure beagle.

She is pretty long and short nowhere near what a full basset is but

you can see it in her.

Personally, as cute as it is and I know it's cute, I'd try

discouraging her by gently lowering her down and praise, praise,

praise. Also with bassets, food is a *great* incentive, tho you

would just need to use a tiny piece of treat. Even if you don't

completely break her of it, the less she does it, the better for her

back. As she gets older, it will be more stress. I bet she is just

the cutest thing. Is she tri-colored with basset markings or beagle

markings? How do her feet look? Like beagles or thick and chunky

like a basset? As much as I love my golden, I still have a soft

spot in my heart for bassets! Good luck.
