Coco and Sadie Day 4

Sadie has started to get over her separation anxiety . She and Coco have started playing pretty roughly together, enjoying themselves the entire time. It was such a nice day outside that we decided to let the two of them run around outside. They had a good workout running around outside and I washed all 8 paws once they were done (black paws on white dogs are just no fun to have on the inside of a house.)

Sadie has started to realize the benefits of tummy rubs. Ming and I have started to give her tummy rubs and she has enjoyed them, sometimes even getting down on her back to try to get us to give her the tummy rub.

While the two pups were playing outside Sadie must have eaten something that she shouldn't have. She ended up feeling ill all day and finally throwing up mid-day. She threw up while in her crate, thereby making a mess of herself, her crate, and her blankie. Needless to say she had to get a bath and get cleaned up all over again. We washed the crate pad and her blankie since they also got dirty. The good news is that Sadie appears to be back to normal.

She ate her dinner more quickly tonight than she has the previous meals. She still needed to be hand fed part of her meal but at least time time we didn't have to hand feed her the entire meal and she actually finished off her dinner portion (Coco always wants to finish off Sadie's leftovers but this time around she didn't get to have any scraps.)
