We've figured out a schedule!!

We knew she was pottied trained but she still had accidents. We've been working on manners as she still has some anxiety when she sees people and dogs. Not sure if it's the mom in her or she was never socialized well. 

So she loves walks so I wake up and before the child wakes up take her for a walk and now it gets shorter and she pees. Then after work we take a long walk and she always pees and poops. Then one short walk before bed and no accidents for weeks. Success, just had to figure it out. 

Now to the socializing. She's pretty intense when she barks so many are hesitant as they should be. It took a couple days to get used to our dog so naturally we know it's going to take some time and patience. Had left her with my mom and her dog a few days and they didn't hit it off until day 3. Same patterns, the human pack leader just has to show her right and wrong and demand she gets along with others and she's eager to please. 

Work in progress, but she's grown so much. Her fur is filling in and she's just beautiful.

Brushing Kaya

It's been about 2 months since her wean from her puppies and her fur is coming back beautifully. She's not molting anymore, although she definitely sheds. Her white fur on my grey floors are kind of crazy, but we love her so .... it's okay.  As her fur grows out more, she has that typical grey/black stripe along her back and just some grey on the tips of her ears and it's so beautiful. Her tail is coming in nicely and poofier!! Can't complain. Now my daughter will also help and say "I brush Kaya" and Kaya just lets her do anything to her. She is just so tolerant and so patient and so gentle. She's the first big dog that doesn't barrel my daughter over and she'll go right up to her and hug her and kiss her face.

Cuddle time

 It's amazing she just lets my toddler do anything to her hearts content. There are times when my daughter will just want to lay on her and she just doesn't care.  That's it. Update complete.

New friends

We have new pets in the home and after they got acclimated, we decided to see how  the dogs  would take them. This is what we got. There were definitely a lot of sniffing. After we did some education and "gentle" and "be nice". Kaya just laid down and watched.  It's amazing how she will try to pull you so hard when she sees another dog and just the gentle kindness she's shown to my daughter and small creatures. Her playfulness and roughhousing has increased with our 12 pound sheltie and not once has she hurt him. She knows her own strength and so gentle.
