Its been a few weeks since my last blog so here is an update on Bliss.

Above: Bliss is getting big

Bliss is getting bigger and bigger! She now weighs 17.5 Kg... at 6 months.. so in just over 3 months Bliss has put on a staggering 7kg's.

Snow Joke!

Bliss experienced a real dumping of snow the other weekend... and she loved it. She was like a mad columbian in a Cocain Factory... sniffing and eating up the snow using her snout as a plough...

I swear she stopped every couple of mins becasue she had a brain freeze.. (like if you eat ice cream too quick).

Puppy Training Classes:
We have been to five so far and they have been a great help. I think Bliss is top of the class as she performs all the tasks very well..

General Socialisation:
99% of people I meet adore Bliss. Its become the norm. My family are constantly amazed at the fuss she gets from strangers when out on walks.

Tis the season.....
The last few weeks have been a real 'is she' 'isn't she' affair. We got final confirmation this morning when I found some large blood spots on the vet bed in her cage. I tried poping the lil shorts on but she clearly likes it to all 'hang out'.
The signs were all there as Bliss has been acting a tad weird... sitting in the corridor sighing when we are in the kitchen or the lounge.... and she has been very clingy... wanting to sit with you all the time. TBH I'm glad as it explains a bit of the strange behaviour.

Mr Whippy
Theres been a bit of a bug going round our area with the cannine fraternity.... the old 'Mr Whippy' or 'Squits'.
Our friends dog went down very badly to this bug.. needing 48hrs in the care of the vet to rehydrate.
So when Bliss's stools were .. for want of a better word.. 'lacking consistancy' we were a bit worried. It was rather puzzling as the stool form itself was appearing inconsistantly... mornings were OK but any other poo's were extremly runny.

We went through the facts:

She had been wormed 8 days previous witha strong wormer.. ruling out any parasites
Her diet had not been changed; she has always been on the dry food
She had not had any additional foods
Although Bliss was putting on weight, we could see har Ribs very clearly (more than normal comparing pics)

We consulted the vet after a couple of days (as she was cutting some seriously smelly cheese (parping).. who gave us some antibiotics.

After being on these for over two days I think we may have hit the nail on the head as we are back to the good old rigid number 2's. Yay!
