Some pictures and update

  • AthenaA

    Here's some pictures of Athena. I took her to her 2nd vet appointment (1st with me) on March 7th. She weighed in at 10lbs (is 10lbs a good weight for a 10 week old pup?) The vet said she has some roundworms but gave us meds. Other than some worms and an umbilical hernia, she is perfectly healthy. She hasn't been biting hard as much, she seems to be learning slowly. She also started to vocalize on occasion while playing and yawning. House breaking & crate training is going good.

    I'll post a lot more pictures as she gets older!

    Very cute!

    10# at 10 weeks sounds about right…Blaze weighed 10.5# at 10 weeks, 3 days.

    There is nothing wrong with a Herina, very common in our breed. I would venture to guess that 80% have them

    I'm so pleased that the biting is less. They are lovely pictures and she is a lovely girl.

    She is adorable, and her weight is very good for her age. My girl had a hernia when we got her, and my vet took care of that at the same time she got spayed. You'd never know it was there now. Hernias are pretty common with this breed, and fixable.

    Another update:

    She turned 3 months yesterday.
    I took her to the vet today and her worms are gone. She weighed in at 13.3 lbs.
    She's in great health.

    What an adorable girl! I love those wrinkles and she actually poses for you. I cannot get my new girl to sit still long enough for that… I think Faro is a bad influence on her. Your Athena is beautiful. Hoping you have many fun filled loving days with her.

    What a cutie! In a couple, it shows the white of one eye and I was going to ask if she has a "lazy eye", but then I looked back at the baby ones… nope, just your camera angle and her looking at you a bit from side. Cara has an absolute lazy eye, btw.. so you know why I was looking! I envy you that cute baby stage. OMG wouldn't it be wonderful if you could keep them like that. Give that wrinkly face a kiss for me. Sigh.

    Thank you! It amazes me. She always sits still or stops moving when I'm pointing my camera/phone at her. It's like she knows. Every day since I got her has been fun!

    Thank you! At times it does look like she has a slight lazy eye but mostly it's the camera angle and the way her head is. Don't worry, I give her many hugs & kisses everyday!

    this is my favorite picture I've taken thus far.

    Not as often as he used to, but he still does it once in a big while, and then he tries to dive under the couch like he used to, but instead he just slams into it because he is too big! haha

    @AJs: I have been placed several times into the position of having something that was illegal simply because while I had acquired an object legally, a law was subsequently passed making that object a crime to own. I believe in 4th Amendment guarantee to security in my property, house, person and effects from unreasonable search and seizure as well as 5th Amendment protection against deprivation of life, liberty and property without due process. If what I own does not injure anyone else and I acquired it legally, I don't believe it is anyone's business what I have. Further, I believe that simply passing a law against something because the majority of people voting on it don't like it does not constitute due process, especially if I previously acquired that item legally. Sheesh! When are people in this country going to learn to mind their own business! Well said, AJs Human! Especially when it comes to simple things like owning animals that are not dangerous, not endangered, do not hurt anyone, do not make noise to irritate the neighbors, etc! If it's a tiger or an elephant, I'd understand… but a pygmy hedgehog or a fish? And if I can drive to another state to legally buy it and I keep it on my own personal property and take good care of it, why should anyone care? Cheers to you!!

    @weeziesmom: I have tried chew bones to curb his chewing however he tries to take weezies and they fight over them You can teach him to leave hers alone. Make them both sit for their chew; give hers first and make him stay with you when she dashes off to chew. {helps him see that she gets one/he gets one, and also gives her a head start!} Make sure he knows you have one for him also. He must sit and make eye contact with you before he is given his treat. Once they both have a chew, make them stay in different spots. Stand between them, moving your body silently to block his attempts to get to her. If necessary, tell him "no" or "leave it". It shouldn't take long for him to learn that he gets his and she gets hers. Eventually, he will just look when you hand her the treat and will sit and stare at your face until he gets his own, then he'll run to his own spot to chew his bone.

    snapped this the other day when she was just sitting there. She looked up at me with this "Oh… hello" expression. [image: 125174685_405513859_0.jpg]
