Figured it was time for a Missy update, now that she's 5 months old today!
All going very well, have finally settled on a food she'll consistently eat after being very meh about her meals. We've settled on Akela 80:20 Puppy Chicken kibble mixed with Akela 70:30 Wet food (Chicken & Goose, Duck & Turkey and sometimes the Original Meat & Fish). Red meat is out, as it gives her awful water pistol diarrhoea, but she can tolerate lambskins, camel scalps and the like for chews. Fish is out purely because she's taken against the stuff, the most I can convince her to eat is in the Meat & Fish wet food, and to be honest I only feed that to keep her enthusiasm for the bird based tins. Safe to say she's a typical fussy Tibbie!
She's turned into a complete cuddlebug, which is absolutely fine by me! Recent sleep regression when going to bed, but we're working through that slowly. Toilet training is pretty much there now *touch wood*. Loves coming up the yard with me and going for walks in the fields, it's her off leash time as there's no worries about someone luring her away and pinching her at the yard. Comes with me to all the places dogs are allowed, and loves charming the employees of all the local feed stores and garden centres.
She's looking hilariously gummy at the moment, as she has lost all her lower front teeth and one lower canine. Her molars and premolars are coming in lovely though, as are her upper front incisors.
She can still be a right little madam when the mood takes her, but overall she's just a little joy to have in our lives!
(Remind me of that when the teenage phase hits.....)
