What are freinds for? - Page 2

Yeah, Simetra was born on Christmas Eve night, and A.j. was born on Christmas morning, but they are littermates. Thats why im hoping i can keep Simetra, she has been raised with A.j., even after all the other pups were gone to new homes. A.j. was the only pup born after midnight.

Good luck with the dog. Cute pictures!

Mirg · 02-14-2007, 04:49 PM

Thanx!

Update: Simetra is on her way! She should be here in about an hour. My friend and her mom are going to stay for a little bit to hang out, hopefully showing Simetra that its ok. Im so excited!

I will make sure to update agian, once she is all settled in. I have to go get ready for her now.

Update: Simetra is here now!

She is all settled in and she doesnt seem too freaked out that my freind isnt here. Wiener wont leave her alone, but ill just put up a gate until he backs off. I will probably take her and A.j. on a walk later. I will take a lot of pictures of her tonight, once my brother gives back my camera!

Great to hear she is settling in well. What happened to their pregnant dog?

Mirg · 02-16-2007, 04:22 PM

Andi (the pregnant dog) went to my friend's mom's friend, Ricardo. He knows a lot about ESS, dogs, and hunting. He also owns on of Andi's other sons, Red. So, thankfully, Andi will be safely having her pups with familiar people around.

Another Update: Simetra is doing GREAT! Shes eating good, playing good, and relieving herself good. She slept all night without waking me up or whining, then this morning i cuddled with both the springers until i got enough strength to get them off me and go outside. We played outside for about 20 minutes, then brought them in and let them rest for a while. About 1 1/2 hours ago, Simetra got her first work-out with me, shes really smart, but i think my freind was training her to roughly. Shes very submissive, and like Sophie, its very easy to scare her just throught words. Then A.j. got his lesson and after that, i brought Simetra and Sophie out and they all played for a long time (more like the girls ganging up on poor A.j.

). Then we came in and they watched Narnia with me for a while and now they are having a snack and resting.
I dont want to be rude to my friend, but i think she wasnt taking proper care of Simetra. Simetra is fat, but has no muscle, and even if you just look at her for more than 2 seconds, she thinks shes in trouble. Also, she doesnt seem to know how to play unless it means running around, if i get a toy out, she just stares at it and lets A.j. get it. She seems to be really happy to be away from my friend, when my friend would spend the night, she couldnt get Simetra to eat or relieve herself, but since my friend isnt here right now, she is doing everything fine. Maybe ill have to ask my friend how shes been taking care of Simetra, i accually think her other friend has been taking care of her, but im not sure.
Anyway, pictures are still on their way, my brother still hasnt given me my camera back, but im going to try to go sneak into his room and grab it (hes not here right now) and get some good pictures of Simetra and, of course, the other dogs, while the suns still out.

Wow, i was just reading my last post on this thread. Simetra has changed so much since then!

RedWolf · 03-20-2007, 11:24 PM

Hey I didn't read this when you first posted it...so did you end up keeping her then?

Mirg · 03-21-2007, 02:44 AM

Well, im not sure yet. Im sure it would be ok with my parents, but i havent been able to do much with 2 dogs to watch after. It just happens that out of 7 pups, i got the 2 with the worst Seperation Anxiety. Ive had her for about 5 weeks now (i never realized it was that long), so if i was to get her a new home, at least she is half-way healed now, and would probably be mostly-healed by the time i found a home. But, i dont know, i really like her. I kind of have an argument between my human life and my dog life going on in my head. Ill have to go make a list soon (for some reason lists help me decide and they make me calm down on the inside).
