Yeah, she’s missing at least three teeth, and whatever teeth she does have left are still black and gross looking. I’ve been looking for Kongs in the clearance sections of the pet stores and so far I’ve turned up nothing.
Also, I’ve been walking her every day again, even if it’s just around our block (the smallest in the neighborhood), or going up and down the side walk around the house a couple times a day when we go out to go potty. Yesterday we didn’t walk, but we did go to four different stores, and that wore her out perfectly fine. She was asleep in the cart by the third store LOL She loves the car, but doesn’t seem to understand that if she gets too near the edge, she usually falls face first on to the floor LOL She loves to get up on the door and look out the window :3
I’ve also been working on getting her to be a bit more dependent. I’ve started by removing the steps from the couch so that she has to ask to be picked up to get up on the couch. It’s working very well! She’s also beginning to ask to go outside for potty breaks (she’s been doing ot off and on for a week or so, but it’s getting better since taking the stairs away), and I’ve been giving her a treat every time she potties outside. It will never stop amazing me how something so simple and small can drastically change a dogs behavior! Anyways, she’s not happy about the removal of her steps. She keeps climbing up them and looking around wondering why they no longer lead to the couch XD
