I’ve gotten a few requests about Miss Daisy. She’s still sassy as ever. She turned 8 a couple months ago so she is moving into her elderly years. She hasn’t really slowed much so far. A little less here and there but she’s herself.
She’s taken to barking a lot more recently. Not sure what spurred it but we’re having to introduce some isolation time when she gets out of hand. (Bullies hate being separated from their owners at home. It is often a very effective behavior modifier. Otherwise, she is still a joy.
She did surprisingly well when we went away on our honeymoon. We’d never been away from her so long before. Lucikly, we had friends too spend time with her at home. We didn’t need to kennel her. She, like Cooper was left at a shelter and she still clearly fears being abandoned. She isn’t quite as bas as Cooper was in the beginning, but leaving her at home in her safe space is always our plan.
Her days are filled with nagging Shawn and I for treats. She had to go on a diet recently and she was not amused. Lol She is down to an acceptable weight zone again so we are slowly adding more treats into her diet again. She’s falling in love with one of our elderly neighbors across the street. And he for her. He always carries treats no matter when he is out just in case he runs into her. She goes nuts anytime he is outside and she sees him from the window.
She’s had a couple health issues but both minor so far. Like any bulldog we finally had to put her on allergy meds. She tolerates them well and they do help. Beyond that she is healthy and happy. She spends her days basking in the sunshine at home w/Pappa Shawn and her evenings curled up between my legs lounging on the sofa.
And as always, I ask you how could anyone could abandon that face? It is beyond me to understand.
