Default sadie's not skinny anymore

She's got appetite to spare and is gaining well. up to 7# from 10 days ago
weighing just 4#
She incision is all but healed,she coat is shiny, and She is in full-blown
puppy mode.
She does seem a bit clingy, never feeling happy if dog parents(us)are out of
sight.
We start puppy class in a week.
(Sure is different then toy poodles. )

That's excellent news!

She does seem a bit clingy, never feeling happy if dog parents(us)are out of
sight.


Try not to encourage the clinging. I know it can be neat to feel like
your dog loves you more than anything in the world, but if the dinginess
blossoms into full-blown separation anxiety, it can mean a hellish
existence for Sadie when she cannot be with you. It's much better to
work on making her a happy and independent dog.

Good luck!

Gah! Tara's spellcheck is at it again. That should be clinginess.
