Ow !

This week was fairly straightforward... sort of.

Erlina accidentally bit her tongue. Her tongue was a bloody mess (literally), but the first indication we had was that she stopped eating and was "fussy." Wolfhounds are generally quite stoic dogs and that was all she showed. We went over her from nose to tail several times and saw the wound on her tongue at last. A quick trip to the vet and she received antibiotics and pain medications for 5 days and all is well again. She again is monstering like little puppies should and chasing the bigger dogs around. Rhianon is in season and is less inclined to play with her. It is more like, "she is a monster, let me out of here."

Erlina and Rhianon

Training:

Erlina's mommy is in Texas. So Rhianon, the mom of the St. Brigid's litter (2/1/09) volunteers to teach Erlina a few things about bite restraint and being a wolfhound

"S0, you want to play ?"

"What happened ?"

"This is how you play, don't bite too hard."

What is remarkable about this is that Rhianon weighs 160 pounds and Erlina weighs 25 pounds. Rhianon dances around her, being very, very careful to not step on her, even when Erlina (who is not the most graceful - being just a puppy) stumbles under her.

Erlina, week 4

Erlina keeps growing and looking cuter.


Oisin thinks her food is terrific and really wants to share with her.
