They are actually enjoying the new home more than us humans in this house. Why? Because we walk everywhere, and they get to come almost every time. We joked that they are going to turn into city dogs. Oh boy! We worried at first since they are super hyper when seeing people and other dogs. How in the world were we going to be able to eat, hold them, and take care of Jane at the same time?
I'm not going to lie, the first few times were interesting, but we had to do it if we wanted to ever get them used to everything. Now, its been about a month, and we have definitely seen a change. They both ignore pretty much all people unless the people come up to them and talk to them. Other dogs are still a slight problem. Here in Austin, people bring there dogs everywhere. Almost every restaurant that has outside seating welcomes dogs, so they are everywhere. But we are still working on their behavior in public.
Once Jane gets older and more mobile, I know the fur babies will get even more attention then they have ever had. She LOVES them. Every time they get in her sight, she looks right at them and either smiles or sometimes even laughs.
One downside of this new house is that they got FLEAS! YUCK! They have only had fleas one other time in their life and it was when we lived in Charlotte. We gave them a pill to kill them and within hours they were gone.
This time has been a small challenge and with a baby here Ive been paranoid. We gave them the pill now twice and they still seemed itchy. We also gave them a flea treatment and flea collars. We can't find anymore fleas so I'm thinking that they just have bites now that are still itching them. I have a bad feeling that the fleas are in the yard since they seem to keep coming back. Its been a week now and they both aren't itching as much, but they definitely still are some. I have cleaned this house inside and out and there are no fleas in our house. Hopefully we nipped that in the bud.
Oh the joys of having puppies.
Love,
Jennifer
