Rookie Posted September 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 I haven't tracked since Friday so today I am going to at least make an effort even if I don't end up tracking the whole day. I am feeling quite tired after last night (and the previous nights) getting up with puppy. Yesterday work went well then headed to the barn and was just taking my time and enjoying the weather cause it was quite breezie but it was nice. I ended up going for a ride in the field with my 2 friends. Im proud of myself for that cause I get nervous cause Daisy obviously would rather go be with her friends lol but we managed and had a good time. It was my first time riding her in the field since pulling her shoes last year. She does live in the field full time barefoot but she hasn't had to be ridden on it. At first she was acting a bit tender footed with certain steps but as we went she felt 100% good. Re:Paintings - I got the OK to varnish percy but I think I need to go to the store and get some semi-gloss varnish because high gloss is just too much and I can barely make out any details on the black cat. I got the drawing sorted for my next painting. I just need to start lol I might bring up some of my paints for when Winnie goes for a nap between dinner and night time. 6 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 This challenge is basically my puppy diary now lol. Little Miss Winnie had a big day yesterday. First thing we had a car ride to get some breakfast at Tims, then we dropped Mr.R off at the train then headed home. At lunch we went for a walk to pick up lunch (I mostly held her but she had a few times where she got to be down walking). Then we stopped for a quick visit with Grandma and Auntie M then we waited for Mr.Rs train and stood by the fence and watched all the people come and go. She was pooped. It was a good day. Today we are going to our friends house for dinner and bringing Winnie so she can meet them and potentially their 2 cats. Tracking is not going well at all. 4 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted September 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I am thinking I should spend some time to clean and organize parts of my house again. Certain things are starting to get on my radar and become annoyances. I also need to have a talk with roomy about how he has been slacking on his housecleaning duties since getting the puppy. I understand she needs watching but he can work in 1hr chunks when she starts napping which is at least 2-3 times a day. Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 This week and next week are short weeks for me Mr.R and I are going camping this week . Next Monday is Canadian thanksgiving and I have next Tuesday off for a girls lunch. We will see how camping goes lol its been quite chilly at night and we will be in a tent. I need to make up a list and grab groceries sometime before we leave. It is feeling a little busy with the pupper so I will probably make a list of things to get, do and pack. Tonight I have no idea what time I will be home because I am going ax throwing with my coworkers as a "Team building" thing. I didn't really want to go with the new puppy and having to figure out camping stuff but I am sure I will have fun once I am there. 1 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Today is first time she can go out properly xx Not really, she only has her first shots. But my vet said it was fine to take her camping as long as we were careful about her meeting stranger dogs/wildlife and their feces. I think the socialization is far more important and I am being careful. But she’s also my fourth dog 😂 She gets her second shots next Saturday. I’m going to ask the vet if I can sign her up for puppy classes like I did with Rook because she’s a bit of a nervous puppy with other dogs (who aren’t her brothers/parents/auntie) so she could use the classes to gain confidence. Plus they are just fun. ——— Camping went well! It was quite chilly and I was worried Winnie would be cold but she was fine in her crate with the sides covered. Second night I think got down to 2C with the rain and wind. Either way it was a good time. Winnie was a bit overstimulated at times but I think she had a lot of fun. We also learnt she has some separation anxiety when I leave. Apparently every time I left she had a mini tantrum with Mr.R cause she wanted to go with me 😂 I’ve never had this problem before. I’m not really sure how to deal with it either because I obviously leave her a lot with work and riding and she doesn’t always care. I think it was worse than normal when camping because it was a strange place and she has FOMO. Hopefully it will go away when she’s fully potty trained and I don’t have to be near her all the time to make sure she’s not destroying something or having an accident.
