Just one more thing that Bai needs to master..

Just one more thing that Bailey needs to master and she can be on her own after this! That is to pee and poo at the right place! 

Tried letting her out to sleep freely last night. Failed. Woke up to poo in the living room. She didnt return to the cage to do her business. Haiz! 

She has made pretty good progress. Not biting as much. Or stop when i tell her to. Playing fetch pretty well. Sitting more patiently to wait for her food. She knows to pee and poo when she goes for walk!

Can she just quickly learn how to pee and poo correctly at home?!!!

She melted me!!

I am starting to appreciate Bailey being at the dogsitter. She gets to play all day! With another dog. And Dianne is a doglover, who seems to take good care of Bai. And when i bring her home, she will be totally melting my heart away!!

There was a time, i am really not sure if i can do this all alone! Phew i didnt give up as yet!

The happiness of her when she sees me. How she follows me ard the hse. Its warm. Makes me think of you more. Its good to have bailey around!!

A week with some progress..

I think we can all feel Bailey is growing up! Shes stronger in jumping up and down for sure. 

We made some progress in stopping her from biting. But not without pain and blood. First she was annoyed. She hated it when i said no. I bled twice. And so i read, she doesnt understand how hard shes biting. I am supposed to let out high pitch noise to make her aware. It started to work on the third day. She seemed to know now!! 

She went Dianne's twice. I think its good for her. She totally KO when she gets back. Yeah! 

I thot theres improvement in her walks too. She didnt bite the leash today!! I hope this is truly the sign that shes getting it! 

Overall, bailey seems to be progressing.

Hopefully!!

What a week!!

A roller coaster week..

Started with the first time sending Bailey away on a full day day care. The thought of it made me happy initially. Thinking that she will not be bored to death alone at home. But when handing her over, it was really tough. Seriously. But she sure had a hell of a happy time. Apparently she played nonstop. Till the other dog gv up and shes still at it! I didnt proceed to do it everyday for the week. Cost is one. I am also afraid that she became used to being with other dogs. I cant get another dog for her. 

Then tue, Bailey and Baos together before Baos leave Singapore for a while. It was a hectic night which i will remember every moment of it. Sigh..

I also tried putting her in the toilet using the cage to block her from coming out. Shes a pup thats stronger than a bull! She broke free. And this is what welcomed me when i got home! 

Thur, i tried something else. Extend her cage. It seemed to work a little. At least she has an option. To poo in the cage and sleep outside the cage. Shes definitely growing. She can jump in and out so easily now. 

On Fri, i brot her over to see baos family. She was not too wel behaved. Kept making noise while waiting outside. Haiz. No more bringing her over. Fullstop. 

Then Sat, her first vet visit with me. Omg its strange, she was not afraid at all. All the dogs there were still. Quiet. Bailey juz never kept still. Drove me a bit silly. Ahaha. Vet told me a few things that i must work on. Cannot bring her out for the next two weeks, must stop her biting of fingers or she will grow aggressive by using a firm tone, and need to take note of heart worm and flea prevention. Why is it so diff to have a dog in singapore ah?!!!

The first time i stood firm with my No, she totally got it, but shes also totally so angry abt it. Haiz. So we do have a stubborn and notti kid here!!

Its actually tiring..

It is tiring to look after Bailey all by myself. Many thots come up. To hire a maid. To sell her away. To leave her at daycare. Etcetc. Ahahaa. 

Bringing her to walk is not that easy. Shes still young. Sometimes she wanna play. Sometimes she doesnt want to walk. And most of the time. She didnt poo or pee. Then she will do it at home. Thats my headache. She still nibbles. I must stop her, the vet said. Haiz. 

Was at the vet. Every dog has at least two adults looking after. I must be too ambitious. Is it?

At the vet..

Refusing to move..

Not giving the best i cld, i know..

I know i am definitely not giving the best that i cld for her. In terms of happiness to a pup. At times i am down, at times i am anxious. I am certainly showing it, unknowingly, but realizing it later. 

Today another couple stopped by. They have a beagle too. They told me to gv Bailey a lot of patience. Oh my. Maybe i am really not getting her at the right time. Haiz..

I will try. 

First time day care.

It was hard driving Bailey there alone in the morning. Shes confused, so she wont stop moving around. I had to hold her down with one hand while driving with the other. There was a few moments of danger alright. We did get there. 

The lady was very nice. I immediately felt that Bailey will be ok and she will like Bailey. But seriously, it was hard handing Bailey over to her. Omg! That was unexpected. 

She sent me many updates, including a video of Bailey playing with the other dog. Of course shes happy. And i heard she never stop playing. Even after the other wanna rest, she wouldnt. Deprived. I know. 

When i collected her, back in the car, after being curious for 5min, she went to zzz. Oooo. This must be the very first time. I am glad! 

Am glad now that i have found someone who can truly take care of Bailey if i need to go away. It is costly. But it is worth it, if i have to do it. Bringing up Bailey alone, by myself, is truly tough. Seriously.
