My little Lulu Bean!
After long thought out process of "do I really want a puppy" I just couldn't say no :-) I brought her home on 12/22 and on the 26th we headed to the vet and found out we were going to battle parvo. I got to go pick her up yesterday afternoon!! She lost 20% of her body weight so she's on at least 2 weeks of rest and house arrest to make sure she's back to her happy healthy self.
Re: PIP :-)
Pardon me while I compose myself after melting into a big puddle of GOO. She is adorable!!
What's her story? Breed?
She is precious!!
She's just beautiful! Thank you for rescuing her!
My trainer gave us a trick to help with the jumping. Tether her to a piece of furniture or door knob. Approach her in a variety of manners: quickly, quiet, excited talking, carrying things, etc. As soon as she jumps up, turn your back, take a few steps, and ignore her for about 30 seconds. Try it again, and praise her when she sits. We did this with Bently for about 5-10 minutes a day (we *always* ended with him sitting nicely), and it made a huge difference.
Maybe this is something you can do with her while she's under house arrest. The sooner you stop that habit, the better. We have a mostly-lab too, and we didn't work on that as soon as we should have, and it's a bit tougher to convince him jumping to look at a person in the eye isn't polite.
