I had a great day...NOT

One word to sum up my feelings ...

Petrified

Priscilla here:

Today, we went to visit a lady who does boarding for dogs and also fosters unwanted dogs, because we are planning on leaving Eva with her when my husband and I visit Tasmania next year. It was just the right timing when some of Rosie's husky friends were going to have a gathering there so we decided to pop in and take a look at the surroundings.

Just as we arrived, Eva had obviously sensed something because she refused to get out of the car and into the house. (She never does this!) So with a little shoving from us, she entered and was greeted by a group of huskies, all bigger than her, may I add! They were friendly, but obviously this strange object required them to 'gang up' on her!

I think Eva was terrified of all the huskies. She didn't like it when one of the pups wanted to play with her, and went to her submissive pose many times. 

She then got dumped into the pool and swam a few rounds, showing everyone how elegant she was!

There are no words to describe how unhappy this girl was. But if you imagine that our greedy little girl refused to eat any yummy treats, you can pretty much understand it.

She was ok with the smaller dogs, though, which is good. For boarding, the large and small dogs are kept separated, so it means that she should be fine.

We also met a gorgeous foster rottie there. She is beautiful and absolutely loves the water. Everytime you throw a toy in the pool, she will jump in and get it. She has a wonderful temperament too! Her name is Rottie.

Eva is sleeping soundly now, four legs in the air.
After all, home is always the safest place to be.

Tis Mine!

Sweetheart is going to be leaving us tomorrow to go back to her owner/breeder as she's still for sale. We had a great time with her, and I think Eva did too. 

 

Having Sweetheart is like having Hana around - they have the same personality - kind, sweet, gentle, calm, well-behaved, greedy, and naughty when they want to be. Princess Eva will be quite lonely in her own room again. We have been quite strict on her recently and she probably doesn't understand why some things she was allowed to do she cannot do anymore. We have to start training her from the basics because as she was born in our house, we will still treat her like a puppy, but she will think that she's the Alpha and higher than all of us. 

 

Anyway, we want a Princess not a rascal :)

 

I bet Sweetheart and Eva had some awesome times during this week.

 

'Tis Mine!!!!!

 

Friday Frolicks

Get ready for a whole lot more action.

Introducing.........

Sweetheart & Eva

the two sisters!

Enjoy the pictures. This is an all action, no words post.

The two sisters

Beware: Pictures lead to infinity

Sweetheart came to us yesterday as a very well behaved, calm dog, as opposed to Eva's hyper naughtiness.

Today, however, we noticed a slight change in Eva - she is less hyper, less excited, more calm...more zen. I don't think she's unhappy though.
Eva has been a good host. She allows Sweetheart to play with her toys, sleep in her room, drink her water. In return, she bites Sweetheart's tail constantly no matter how many times Sweetheart tells her off, she just never gives up.

24 hours later, Sweetheart has shown her more naughty side ... chewing ... she especially loves Eva's beloved toys. Poor Mr. Bear is now .... mutilated :( (check out his ear!)

Tug-Of-War with Mr Dalmation

I think I see the winner here

Now the cloth

Two shelties make the pictures look prettier, especially when they're sisters!

Now I'm going to pass you on to Princess Eva

Hi everyone! I'm guessing you all know a bit about my sister already. 

I think I've been a bit irritating to her, but it's amazing how she tolerates me!

It's been great fun playing with someone my age, who can teach me some stuff too (my hoomans hope!) Although everyone hopes I can be a goody two-shoes like my sister, I have my own personality too!! However, due to peer pressure (my hoomans think!), I've been slightly better behaved, and less naughty! 

I introduced her to my grandma Laura.

Then we played tag..

Catch me if you can!

That silly girl was too scared to come in! See, aren't I brave?

I had to submit to her after a while .

Eeek! She's scary!

Kinda tired now....

zzzzzzzzz

Playmates

A friend told me that puppies need playmates and the best playmates are actually either their siblings or puppies of  their age as they learn things from playing among themselves.

My biggest problem now is little Eva doesn't have any siblings to play with as she is the only child of Hana. In the beginning, I thought Mika and Laura could be her playmates even though one is a bit old and another one is an adult dog but I was completely wrong. Both of them are not interested in playing with little Eva at all no matter how hard we've tried to let them stay together. Furthermore, the dogs that all my neighbours have are adults.

Poor little soul, except playing with her mummy Hana, she can only play with me and my hubby now.

Will my Eva become an 'anti-social'?
