Old dog with new tricks

Posted in Miscellaneous on March 10, 2010 by kwdogs

This is a 12 year old sweety named Chelsea sitting to Xila’s left.  I always say, “that the only one to say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks is the old dog.”  Well this dog was in need of some boundary training on her beautiful 8 acres and the owners preferred not to use an invisible fence so we put the old girl through her paces with all the commands and she has proven to be happy and pliable throughout the process.  I was very reluctant to train this sweet, well mannered senior dog simply out of respect for her age and naturally wonderful personality, I would of just modified her physical freedom a bit and let her live out her days as is— but she has shown that if she was a human, she’d be a very educated, progressive old lady that shops online and uses email!  It’s a pleasure to see an old gal like this so healthy and happy.

DAY 60 starts with a 99.4 degree temperature!

Maya’s normal temperature is usually 100.5.  Since the start of her pregnancy I have monitored it, with it holding steady at 100.3.  100.3 is where it has been until last night when it dropped to 99.8 and then this morning to 99.4.  Puppies tonight or tomorrow night seems to be what her body is telling us at this time.  Stay tuned!

Poor Maya is as uncomfortable as a pooch can get.  Tonight we got milk so hopefully we’ll have pups in the next 24-48 hours…..

hoping it's hours and not days.....
