What a week!

Posted on October 22, 2011 by rhonda

Jaz is almost 10 weeks old, and boy is she ever busy doing puppy-stuff! Last week, we took her to the vet to get to know everyone, create some good memories (no needles, just pets!), step on a scale and open up her very own file. Lots of playing, peeing, pigging out and power naps later, a week had passed… time flies as we see her grow and develop every day:

Computer lessons with daddy…

Who knew playing could be this exhausting! … Do you think I have enough toys?

*SMILE* Showing off those pearly whites…!

On Thursday, Jaz slept in her crate in the kitchen for the first time (as opposed to the bedroom), all by herself, from 11.30pm to 6am. Pretty impressive for such a little girl! I’m sure the cats checked up on her from time to time… they seem mesmerized (Nana especially), watching her every move.

Then yesterday it was time to revisit the vet for worming and a photo-op. Her picture is now on file, and she received her honorary bandana. Good thing we had introduced her to a collar earlier this week, otherwise she would have ripped the bandana apart on the spot!

…being a good girl, getting used to my new martingale collar…

And then today we visited the breeder to hang out (Jaz had a lot of fun playing with London) and to get her ears glued. Her ears are very nicely positioned already, but as the teething continues, most of the calcium in the body is being used to form teeth, rather than staying in the cartilage of the ear. To attain proper ear carriage, the ears are glued between 8 and 16 weeks. This is common for most terrier breeds. Common or not, Jaz thought it was very strange…

On the table, ready to get glued… well, maybe not so ready after all… why are we doing this again???

Seriously, mom?! You’re making me go out looking like this?

I look badly injured… maybe this stupid headgear can help me earn some treats…

Being a Lakeland terrier is no joke! Time for some beauty rest.

5 more nights…

Jaz is coming home with us this Thursday. I cannot believe that she’s almost 8 weeks old and will be rummaging around our living room in less than a week… it’s exciting and scary at the same time! Definitely more exciting than scary, though… check out the pictures we took last Wednesday:

“What are you playing with, mommy?”

“Tug of war! I’m going to win this time, just watch!”

“Wait… there’s more!”

“I’ve been trying to destroy this toy for four weeks now… it sure is hardy!”

*Cuddle time*

Picture perfect pooch

Hi guys! Here’s a sight for sore eyes… Jaz, exactly 6 weeks old:

When we visited last Tuesday, London was teaching Jaz how to play her favourite game; tug of war:

Needless to say, Jaz caught on pretty quickly… here’s how we spent most of our visit:

She’s getting bigger and stronger by the minute!

Saturday special: London

Posted on October 1, 2011 by rhonda

Jaz’s mom London is quite the character. When we visited the both of them last week, we brought some snacks. Instead of devouring them (which is what you would expect from a dog, isn’t it?), London took her time. She showed the treats around the house, posed for some pictures with them… She’s a strange, strange dog. I guess any dog with the nickname “Kitten” is bound to be a little silly. Here, see for yourself:

“Look at this yummy milk-bone!”
