Thank you for the suggestions! I'll try to get my hands on some bitter spray to try and deter the worst of it.
As for toys, we've got a wide variety: soft plushies, rope toys, soft rubber toys and hard rubber toys. He also occasionally gets to chew on a safe real bone.

I'll try and see if removing myself from the situation would help him realize what he's doing wrong, but I've noticed that pulling my hand away often just excites him. I'll also give those videos a watch.

Hopefully one of these will work, it's getting quite painful.

Blue’s Embark kit has been delivered! I’m going to swab her and send it in as soon as possible. I’m so excited.

Ahh that's exciting!
I know I was super nervous to swab since I didn't want to mess it up.

She’s been swabbed! We’re going to ship it off sometime soon.
I think I got enough saliva... I hope so, anyway. She wasn’t very cooperative but we spent at least a minute with the swab in her cheek pouch. In intervals, however haha.

Guys! I got the first photos of the puppies! They're about a week old.
One of these boys will be mine! 😍




Will it be blue, green, or purple? Only time will tell!

Happy Gotcha Day to my Chloe!!!

I was hoping to do more with her today but I'm in too much pain. I have some Dogsters ice cream I'll give to her later. I have her the puzzle toy I had for her an she's enjoying that. I also made a donation to the rescue I adopted her from.

It depends on how often/how much you give. Once or twice a year it's okay, but if it was something you wanted to give frequently I would personally pass. Since Oppie is on a weight loss program I'd consider making your own doggie pupsicles. You could use low sodium broth or coconut water and put in chunks of meat, berries, or even some of his own kibble. Just pour in an ice cube tray and freeze.

Ah okay. Yeah, I think once a year as a birthday treat would be okay. Also there are dog friendly ice cream recipes online if you feel like making it yourself that would be healthier for him.

^^ Yeah Once in a blue moon i’ll buy him a doggie sundae at our local ice cream shop(just vanilla ice cream with a dog treat in it) and he loves it. I bought him one yesterday after like almost a year without one. A little treat of appreciation on how good he’s been haha.
