Yeah, I’ve been ignoring her crying. So far, I’ve only had to squirt her for barking that one time, as well. She whines, and it builds and builds and builds, and she’ll get really close to barking, then she gets quiet and starts all over again LOL
I don’t know how old she is. 12, I think, I heard the lady say. She probably does have arthritis. Her back legs seems very stiff at the hip joints, and she waddles with them spread way out lol
She’s been very quiet all night, which is great. She had been barking at 4 in the morning, and the lady said the only way she’d stop is if she got up and moved to couch and watched tv with her. She was awake at 4 this morning, but she was quiet. She keeps shaking her head, so I hope she doesn’t have eat problems. They don’t look gross (they flip open all the time), so maybe that’s just how she is. They’re so heavy for how small she is. But I suppose that’s so they droop down and funnel smellies to the nose.
The vet opens at 8 and starts taking appointments at 9. Since I’m up this early (god only knows why!), I think I’ll take her on a walk down there before it starts getting busy, let him see her and tell him how she’s doing.
Even if I don’t get to keep her, it’s a good learning experience for Bentley. He’s gotta learn that he doesn’t always have to be in other dogs faces all the time, and they don’t all have to play with him. Poor guy just doesn’t understand that not all dogs want his all his love forced on th (and trust me– off all the dogs he’s met, not including this one, only two tolerate him, and one of them is my Haley, and only because she knows she has to LOL).
Alright, fine. Her name is Ginger. Not that she responds to it, though. Typical old dog lol *rolls eyes*
