Whether or not I keep her is up to mom lol She really is very sweet, though. We went into the vet to talk to him and he said it’s great that’s she’s doing so well. I told him that I thought she was being handled too roughly, and is fine once she gets over the initial “what are you doing??” phase. We both agree she needs to be in a home where she is the only dog, or there is one other dog with a similar activity level that won’t be in her face all the time.
We did end up driving though, because it was raining. Picking her up is hit and miss. She’s used to turning around and biting when picked up. First time she turned around and warned me, second time she turn her head just a little and watched me, ready to bite if she thought she needed to, and third time she was prefect. The first time was last night trying to get her into the car, and the other two times were today, once I realized she just needed to be eased into it. Just gotta do it gently, but quickly and firmly. Once she’s up, she’s good, but it’s the process she’s unsure of.
I don’t think she has dementia (if she does, it’s doesn’t show). I think she was being handled too roughly, and her behavior has started to reflect that.
I put her food down, and she wouldn’t touch it. She’s drank all Bentleys water and all the cats water though. I also added some water to her food and warmed it up, and she get excited for it, then only ate a couple bites and passed out in her bed. At least she ate some, though. Old doggies need to eat!
