9 months old and new pictures

On 17th, Skye was 9 months old. How time flies!

Here's some pictures I took this morning on our walk:

Well, where do I start... LOL

Skye sure is going through her puppy stages. LOL She is very much the easily distracted spangle that so many people think spaniels are. So training is very much attention and following exercises as she sometimes just buggers off otherwise. But it's little and often, and overall we are making good progress.

Skye is getting much better with the house training though and she now rarely has accidents. Even during the day, she is now often dry and there hasn't been any poo for a couple of weeks now - I hope it stays that way.

On the other hand, I have heard her crying again virtually every evening I came home this week, so not too happy with that. I will ask Karen whether she would be able to have her on Mondays at least as that is a very long day for her. I also must set up that internet camera that I bought, just haven't had the time yet.

For a month or so, I felt she was better home alone, I had taped her a few times too and she was quiet - though of course it's different if it's a whole day. The month that she was better was when she was wearing a DAP collar rather than having a DAP diffuser, I wonder whether that makes a difference because it is always on her and doesn't get diluted by having the door open etc. So I think I will get another one of those.

Other than that, she is doing great; she is a fab little girl and things are coming along nicely.
