Great name I love it.<BR/>Tips, well, I have already seen a few very goods ones, easpecially on the chewing part. Sometimes even chairs and couches aren't safe. You have to watch that very closely and let her know, it's a big no no.<BR/>When we left the house, always not for too long as puppies don't like being alone, we put her in a crate until we knew she didn't chew on anything anymore.<BR/>It's very important to play with her and keep playing with her even when she gets older. This keeps our dog Charlie fit and happy too. Our dog is 8 years old now.<BR/>I want to wish you all lots of luck with her, give her a big cuddle from me, because she looks so very sweet with those big brown eyes !!! Have lots of fun !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-79421964493754839602008-06-05T01:18:00.000-05:002008-06-05T01:18:00.000-05:00One more suggestion.

It's also nice to be able to shut him/her away when you have somebody over that is afraid of dogs. Especially if it's miserable outside.<BR/><BR/>The other thing I have found is to allow him inside much of the time. I remember reading something once (when I was considering banning my dog to the outdoors) that said that studies showed dogs were friendly if they were with people most of the time. Also, then you don't have to worry about extreme heat (causing heatstroke) or ice (damaging paws).3 for schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02512647913767303288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-17088973448812304252008-06-04T22:50:00.000-05:002008-06-04T22:50:00.000-05:00Advice??

I have a "Daisy", too! My Daisy is a 10 month old peekapoo - half poodle, half pekinese. I recommend the crate training and making sure she has her own toys - she'll figure out soon what she is supposed to chew on and not supposed to. (I can tell from your pictures that you keep your home very tidy - and that is very helpful with a new puuppy!) Have fun with her - they grow up too fast, just like children. :-)Mrs. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08370647029648135495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-70083999510659202782008-06-04T21:38:00.000-05:002008-06-04T21:38:00.000-05:00Oh, your puppy is adorable.

Our Penny is five now and it has been such an adventure! We first got her when our Lady (cocker spaniel) was getting on in years. Penny bugged Lady quite a bit, but they became fast friends. Then, Lady had to be put to sleep (age 16 1/2). Penny mourned. We were so worried about her we got another pup (Gracie, German short-haired pointer). Gracie has bugged Penny a lot (we tell her it is pay back time) but they are fast friends too. But, oh, how I wish Penny was a puppy again.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful time with your treasure!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693598787241469220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-22420801767619159142008-06-04T19:30:00.000-05:002008-06-04T19:30:00.000-05:00What an adorable puppy!!
