This is Rocky. She is a Shih Tzu/Pomeranian Mix that we adopted off of craigslist. She has been part of our family for 15 days now and we're very happy. She is about 15mths old, so she's not a puppy, puppy, but has a lot of puppy in her. She came from a home with no kids, but does very well with Peter & Kiersten. She has really helped break Peter & Kiersten of their fear of dogs. It doesn't help when a lot of the small dogs they come into contact with (my neighbor's 2 pugs) jump and scratch all over you. We reached a milestone today....Rocky FINALLY took her 2nd bowel movement of the day OUTSIDE! She has a bowel movement first thing in the morning outside, pees pretty much outside every 2 hours, but she is a ticking time bomb in the afternoon, you never know when she is going to go. I think she was allowed to go inside (she was an apartment dog) & I have been working my butt off trying to break her of this nasty habit! Otherwise she is crate trained and knows a few things like sit and stay. We had a great rapport with her previous owners (obviously adopter beware) & they promised to send her full shot record to me so I could have it for our vet. I can't get her groomed without her being up to date on her vaccinations. Here we are over a week after she told me it was on its way...nothing. I have emailed twice this week and have left her a message. We are just disappointed in her previous owners because it has only hurt Rocky. If she needed her shots, I would have had it done already. Now I can't be 100& sure that she has been spayed either. They won't even give me her previous vet name so I can contact them myself! What goes around comes around.
First night in her new home!
A few days hanging out with the kids!
