Poor Badger minding his own business trying to relax...

Then came


RITA!

OH LOOK! Toilet Paper!

Rita is getting big- need to weigh her but I think she is around 80-85 lbs now. Our Puppy is a PROTECTOR through and through.

She is beautiful. She may weigh 80-85 pounds, but her personality weighs thousands of pounds--as in she has TONS of personality!

Ahhhh and he still loves her?

I was thinking about her today. Good job posting pics before I had to bug you!

Is she doing well with her fear issues?

We have to keep the TP in a drawer, DD1's cat shreds it if he has access.

She is 6 1/2 months now and doing very well. She has a moment here and there but is more appropriate for her age and the natural phase they go through with confidence.
She does NOT like when cars slow down. Not fearful but very assertive. Concerned about charging. Working on it.
She does NOT like to come when called. &
She needs more outside stimuli... I mean offsite with strangers.
My little DD trained her to hop in the van and she is awesome with it. No fear, no nervousness.
She walks great on lead.
She loves the family. Others... not so much.
She is very protective. Very.
She needs to learn that when I say "enough" I mean "enough". She sasses me. She has to get the LAST word in.
She is the kids dog! Adores them, and they her.

Baby goats are in the house, She gets so excited and she wants to play but knows she is not allowed.
She does very good, if I see her getting excited I tell her calmly that they are the babies and to leave them or sit.

Look at that jowlsy skin! LOL
