We Finally Pass a Class, and get Thrown Out of the Next

Sonata, 6 months, Second Snow

Yep, you read that right, we FINALLY passed Puppy Fundamentals!  There was great celebration in our household.  After four classes our pup went from drop out, to graduate.  The next class to tackle has become Household Manners. 

Sonata, 6 months and Serenade

The first night that we attended the class (yes, you read that right, NIGHT), Sonata turned seven months old.  She saw all the larger dogs (a dog aggressive rottie and dobbie among them), and lost it.  Our girl has entered her second fear period.  She is now shying away from strangers, and even from strange dogs.  This was the same age that Sere became shy, so we are trying to keep a close eye on her.  However, things have become...difficult.

Sonata, 7 months, Watching REAL TV

You are saying, "What has happened this time?!"  This time, it is a second case of ringworm.  That's right!  Her ringworm has returned.  In a larger patch, on her back leg, up near her knee.  I had to take her into a new vet, seeing as how my other two vets (which has been frustrating for us, AND the dog trainers) were not able to accommodate her needs.  Due to this next batch, she is unable to 'play with the dogs' for the next twenty-one days.


Sonata today is seven months, two weeks, and weights 48lbs (she is a MINI Berner!)
