Daisy gets a clean bill of health!

I took Daisy to the Vet yesterday for her 2nd round of shots and her 4 month checkup. The Vet gave her a clean bill of health! She had a little digestive parasite about 3 weeks ago when I first took her to Vet, but they checked her during our visit yesterday and said that she was all clear. Whew!

She's doing really well actually. Although she still whines, bites and sometimes has an accident, she has already learned to sit, shake and lay down. I am a proud dog-parent!

Since it's the end of the fiscal year, I've been able to stay home with her a little more than normal, so I can keep her out the cage more during the day. I hate leaving her in the cage at all, but I know how important crate training is for her.

My biggest challenge with her right now is the nipping and biting. My hands look like I've been unsuccessfully juggling knives in my spare time from all the scratches and bite marks. I need to figure out how to keep her from biting me so much.

Isn't that the towel from her crate? I think she seretly likes being in there. She doesn't want us to know so we will continue to put treats and toys in there for her. You're dealing with a very smart puppy...
