My Pomeranian Adventure Part 2

This month marks the fourth month Poochy has joined my little family~!

Look at her begging eyes, it would be hard to resist not spoiling her, right?

Can't believe in a short four months time, she has grown from such a small size to a slightly bigger size. Now when I look back at some 'old' pics, I was surprised at how fast she has grown.

You can see how her fur has changed from that slightly puffy puppy fur to sleek and smoothed our fur and her ears... I don't even know how to describe how much her ears have changed. 

I think for this I should rename this post as 'my puppy adventure' because Poochy is turning out to be less Pomeranian and more Papillon with her huge sharp ears and the mess of hair around her ears. One time during a puppy class, one old lady called her 'big ear monster'. :P

One time, I took her out for a walk and a huge dog came running over. It scared Poochy so much, she peed at the spot. I even took her up into my arms and she slightly poop in my lap. The worst thing was that it was soft poop... yuck...

After that incident, I was slightly worried that she would be scared of other dogs in the future. So, I took initiative to register her into a puppy/dog class. Gosh! I should remind you to look for this earlier on. Some of the nicer ones are very quickly filled and there were limited spaces available, so it was a headache for me! There is always  the typical issue of price, time and location. 

It wasn't easy to find a suitable school for us. A puppy or dog class should be an enjoyable yet educative session for both the owner and the dog although I have come to realize that I learnt more and faster from these sessions than the puppy. That is when patience play such an important part. Different dog breeds and backgrounds play such an important part in how a dog behave and respond to a stimuli and that inevitably describes their learning pattern. That is a just a really draggy way of saying different dogs learn at different pace. So, always just enjoy the moment. Training will get better, I promise you! But what is more important than training is the bond that you will develop with your dog, so take it easy~! :)
