@tanza Oh yes. I give her 1/3 cup blue buffalo puppy kibble, 1 tbsp wet blue buffalo puppy, 1 tbsp yogurt or cottage cheese, (alternating) and if I se any sign of dandruf or dryness in her fur, I also add in a few drops of olive oil. I have chicken and vegetables every night, and I've been preparing my chicken unseasoned since I got rogue so I can use it for training on occasion, so sometimes if she's being stubborn I'll bury some tiny shreds of chicken in her food to get her to eat, or sometimes I'll do the same thing with some other high value treats. I don't feed her in a crate, but I've moved her bowl into my room so she's lessdistracted at mealtime, and she has a safe place to eat when my niece comes over. Rogue plays nice with my niece outside, but indoors, she's kind of a really big squeeky toy, so we have to watch her constantly. I also, on the rarest occasions, will give her a little tiny pinch of american, or sharp cheddar cheese. That seems to get her really excited. She doesn't get excited about cottage cheese, but american or sharp cheddar? She goes nuts. fagedabodit. And she get chews and kongs in the crate, but never meals. And she doesn't spend much time in there anymore since she's been house trained. She just sleeps in my bed. In fact, she's passed out next to me right now.
Meet Zahleka Pippin Fridley
-
Super cute! Congrats again
-
Awwwwā¦
So what are you going to call him? Pippen?
-
Thanks all,
Yes, Linda, Pippin is the name of the moment, I love it, my daughter does as well..my son and hubby, not so much..but it isn't their dog.
Pippin, because he is red as one very famous redheaded little girl from Sweden is, a favorite of mine..Pippi Longstockingā¦and because his grandfather(on dad's side) is Gandalf, from Lord of the Rings and Pippin is in Lord of the Rings as well. -
Congrats Petra! When I started reading it and saw Pippen I thought of Pippi Longstocking too!
I used to watch the TV series dubbed in English when I was a teen. -
I just love Pippi L..she rocked my innocent Swedish childhood..in a good, sweet way.
Isn't he adorable? I so wish I could be closer to himā¦but I have to be happy with him coming when he does..
Thank you Dan.

How is Otis doing?
-
Dan, It's been a while since I spoke to his mommy, but when I did he was thriving. She loves him dearly and is amazed as to how well behaved he is compared to her previous basenji Niles. I hesitate to contact her too much as it is really hard and always brings a tear to my eye..I am still struggling with "letting him go" personally although I know (since everybody tells me so) that I did the right thing.
Lukas still to this day wonders when he is coming back..breaks my heart. -
What a beautiful baby. He looks too little for such a long name!!!! I can imagine how thrilled you are and how long the waiting seems. Good too to hear that Otis is doing well. You know you've done the right thing now.
-
He's precious-cute. I love his mask.
-
squeak sooooo super cute!
-
Congrats Petra! It will be third Zahleka boy here :).
By the way Gandalf is Masai's grandfather too :D. -
Thanks Irena..I am so excited.
-
Petra, I don't recall who Otis was or why you placed him. Was he a foster? However, I have never believed my home was the only home for most dogs and sometimes finding a better fit is the only thing to do.
Congrats on the new baby! Pippin pictures are going to be much appreciated!

Soooo precious!!!! Awww, puppy breath!!!!
