Hi Chris,
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Here are some recent photos of Clarissa from over the last week. She is growing at an amazing rate...last clocked in at 5.5 pounds at the Vet's office on Friday. She handled her two shots fantastically with minimal yelping. Although poor thing got car sick on the ride home and threw up in her carrier (with no warning. I didn't hear anything wrong at all, even a whimper until I got upstairs and opened the carrier and she ran out, leaving her mess behind). She seemed perfectly fine afterward though.
Now that she is more confident around the apartment, she is starting to test her boundaries, so have had to be more stern with her lately. She definitely loves attention and is becoming a fantastic puppy kisser.
Oh, she has seemed to develop a little bit of a rash on both her front legs right around where her leg connects to her body. The vet thinks it might be her harness chaffing her but I am not so sure. Have you heard of this happening before? At any rate, we are applying some Hydrocortizone, per the Vet's instructions and hopefully it will clear up. I hope she is not biting herself when she is alone...although I have not seen her doing so. Just a hypothesis of mine.
All things considered, she seems happy and playful. If only she would stop peeing in the house! :) She throws us curveballs sometimes. She will go outside so we will bring her back in and play with her, thinking we are out of the danger zone and then out of nowhere she let's it go right there on the floor mid-playtime. Unlike her pooping, she has almost no "tell" for peeing, so it's hard to catch the warning sign. At least she has mastered pooping outside (I think she only went once inside this last week).
Oh! She learned the "Sit" command two days ago. "Stay" is another story... :)
Talk to you later,
Chris
