@oddball The new pups are so cute! So is Killian of course!
You probably already know or have been told haha, but if the puppies are living under the same roof keep an eye out for Littermate Syndrome.

It's not impossible to avoid with two puppies living under one roof, but just be mindful. (: Make sure to do as much training separately as you can and that they're getting a lot of individual time without each other.

But anyway! Congratulations to your Mom and Sis. I can't wait to see more pics of the pups!

So like I mentioned, we got to go hang out with our friends on Saturday! So nice to get out of the house and hang with our friends after so long! Kes had a absolute ball running and playing with Malady, Kota and Miya! I’ve got some awesome jumping pics I’ll post later, just have to finish editing them lol.

We also checked out a training center near my parents house, where E and I got judged hardcore for having Kes and Mal on prongs 🙄. I also got super judged for asking Kes to pick up her leash when I dropped it, which is a trick she knows and enjoys doing but she was uncomfortable then due to needing to pee so refused. E literally had to tell the lady I couldn’t pick it up to get her not to say anything and stop getting tense at me. So after how uncomfortable I felt with the owner of the center, I don’t know if I’ll be going there for classes or not even though it looked nice.

Really not huge on being judged for using a prong, especially when it’s properly fitted and I am using it properly and safely.... 🙄




Another pic of my handsome boy from his bday! He says thanks for the bday wishes!

Also don’t judge his nails, they were horrible! After surgery I couldn’t do them, and his grow super fast. No worries though, they are back down to not touching while standing like they are suppose to be now. Hopefully tomorrow I can get them to no clicking like I prefer,

@Pippin
We did that on the second day with Izzy! Puppies are fast learners. (especially chihuahuas, like Izzy and yours.)

I am so done with my neighbors and their refusal to train or even just flat out work with their dog.

They only speak spanish, only one person in the house speaks english, I speak primarily english. Lacey doesn't know her name, she's untrained and over a year old, She's willing to learn, as provided as she gets the attention she needs.

She's out tonight, off her leash and collar. She's running through mud puddles, she's running laps in the street, and I can't control this dog on my own.

She's underweight, they only feed her a cup of Pedigree a night, she's a year old Husky mix.

The one person in the house in front of us that speaks english won't listen to me about her. I'm fed up being the one to deal with her when she's not even my dog.

And they keep this dog in a 6x6 pen that's filled with ankle breaking holes this animal has dug out of sheer boredom.

If she hasn't been hit by a speeding car overnight, I'm calling animal control in the morning.

[bouanich]

Call animal control NOW. If she does get hit by a car, you would feel bad in the morning. Please PLEASE.

I agree, if possible I'd call animal control now, though now all ACs are open 24/7 even for emergencies. Or if there's a way for you to catch/hold her until the morning that is another option. Regardless of what happens please call animal control in the morning. These people are not responsible dog owner and are likely breaking numerous laws as well. Since they won't listen to reason and the dog's life is at stake (if this has happened before it will happen again) it's time the authorities get involved.

[Skysong]

I called animal control as Lacey is still running free, there is nothing they could do as she is no longer on the property this morning, she’s classified as a missing animal.

I caught her and put her back in her pen the neighbors have and got coated in mud in the process. Im rather annoyed as I have a day full of plans of being out and about with my mother and no time to go change clothing.

She is fine though.
