Took my new favorite picture of Annie today. I was laying in the pasture and she came over to give me kisses and I managed to take this with my phone. Wish I had my camera with me, but I really like it anyways.

Kestrel looks surprisingly good in hats.... Too bad she wasn't a huge fan of it or we would have bought it for sure haha.

today was Simba's third puppy class! :3 there's usually seven of us, but today there was only 4 of us (I'm guessing it was because people forgot it was on a Saturday instead of a Sunday?) - but that worked well for us because we got more 1 on 1 time with the instructor. Simba definitely struggles around distractions, I'm hoping its something he'll grow out of, but even so he is a lot worse than the puppies in his class.

we finally went and bought him a harness, too. as the whole Simba + distractions combination is kinda disastrous, he pulls on the lead a ton. hopefully once we've got his lead training under control we can go back to just a collar, but as we're using the 'if he pulls, stand still' technique, it'll be good that he isn't putting all the strain on his neck. I think I'll be reluctant to give the harness up though, because it feels so much nicer. xP

So yesterday was a very busy and stressful day but we managed to get a lot done. There was a clinic in town for cheap shots. I was able to get all of Addy's shots for $30!!! It was amazing. We also got Cutlers shots as well.
And Addy also went into heat yesterday not good but there isn't anything I can do about it. She can't get spayed until January so I will have to deal with it for now. I have never had a dog go into heat before because I have always gotten them spayed before they had the chance to but since I just rescued her I haven't had the chance yet.
I did some research on it because like I said I have never had a dog go into heat before. I also bought some diapers for her so she won't get blood all over the place. She isn't a fan of them but she already got some blood on my sheets and a little on our couch.

Any advice for me would be greatly appreciated. I know the basics like watch her when she goes outside, keep her away from male dogs, etc. but any other advice on what I should/ shouldn't do would be much appreciated!!!! Thanks

Do you own a dog?: Yeppers.
Favorite dog breed?: I love Pitbulls, Australian Shepherds and Huskies!
Tell us about your dog(s): I actually just adopted mine today! She's a 2 year-old Staffordshire - Terrier mix named Huraya (her nickname is Moo). She's a really sweet girl, but she does have some problems with leash pulling and getting on the furniture. But she's still young, so it'll be a bit easier to train her. It's amazing how she's so trusting around people, considering her previous owners abandoned her on the side of the road. I also think she may have been previously abused because she has some semi-recent scars on her paws and muzzle. I'll have to get that checked out when she goes to get spayed this week.
Pictures of your dog(s): Here she is!
