GLAMACHIC

hi everyone electras mummy is back!!! i havent been online for a while, but ive been learning lots and lots about my baby girl who doesnt look like a baby no more! she has grown so much i just hope she stops... she is now 6 months old and i wanted to know when will she get her period? how will i know she will have her period? what things do i have to change around about the house? how long do doggy periods last? are they messy? is there such a thing as doggy libra's?..hehe!! do i have to change her food in any way?..oh speaking of food..she no longer wants to eat her own doggy food..she wants our food...shes become a WOG DOG eating all our garlic & herbs!!!!! here are 2 pics i took yesterday....shes the biggest bed hog too!!!

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! dogs are feral..haha u make it sound so funny miranda...but its still offffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

they like the taste of dirt? eeewwwwwwwwwww................... i hope its not going to damage her teeth or gums either... i will mention it to the vet next time thanks xoxo

for pups to chew and eat dirt and gravel? electra seems to loooove it..and she even brings it inside to save for later!!!! haha its cute tho but im not sure this is normal behaviour ... or that it is actually good for her?

hi guys, we just got back from puppy school..and what a fantastic time electra had....even we had a good time with all the other pups. all we took was electras little house with her blankie so that she could feel comfy in it afterwards and we had her harness on and lead..she hates the lead!! now the trainer didnt use any kind of food reward, which i think is fantastic, his dog was such a good dog, the training techniques he used were absolutely excellent, by the end of the one hour session he had 3 dogs sitting!! thats what we learnt today, we learnt to teach our doggies, who is boss, and how to tell them who is boss, and also how to sit..electra sat for 2 minutes straight...yipeeee!!!! any dog and any breed at any age is trainable, so not matter what, your dog CAN be trained...his dog was a kelpie i think , he got it from a friend of a friend who was going to throw it away, as he had bitten its owner and was just chaos, if u seen the dog now 1 year later, omg he was a gem..he loves kids he loved everyone, and he was such a well trained dog...so next time if someone tells u that u cant train a beagle or a pug or whatever...they lie...they have no clue..this guy was fantastic. im not sure if im allowed to post his details on here, please message me if anyone wants details, i think he is in ferntree gully victoria... i had the best time..weather permitting, next week we will learn how to tell the doggies NO! xoxo

electra is now 4 months old she is an april fool baby..hehe we are going to stud park vet school this saturday good idea, i will take her favorite of all time toy..her soccer ball!! i use the kibble as treats, as her teeth are still not sharp enough to bite thru many things, she is just starting to hurt our skin, thats one question that i want to ask..how do we get her to stop nipping!! thanks guys...will up date u on monday on how we went

hi everyone, this coming saturday, we are taking our pup ELECTRA to puppy school. i just wanted to know what do i need to take with me? do i need to know anything b4 i go? i hope she behaves....but more importantly i hope she listens!! i cant wait hehe xoxo

hi cleo, i cant remember his name, i have his card at home tho he was so nice

electrawoman...hehe thats funni...is that your name? or is it ur pets? i love that name ... i always said which ever comes first the dog or the baby will be named that..so the doggy got it..hehehe shoemonster... we own a little indian ringneck parrot which we take to an avian vet down past mount waverley at the end of huntingale road i think its highbury road u just turn left and its right there.. because it was a bit far for us to take our doggy there too, we were told that the stud park vet hospital is really really good, so we gave that a go and the vet there was fantastic, a nice man!! so i think thats where we will be going now stud park vet in rowville, not too far from us and that bumper to bumper traffic moves!! with regards to nekhbets reply, i only buy her premium meat, the kind that we eat ourselves. i wouldnt want to eat any other meat myself so my doggy gets the best too, well she is part of the family, she is our little baby! well for now, til we have babies of our own..hehe .. she loooooves rice and mince, its like chow mein without all the spices..hehe and its raw...thats so funni. electra has learnt where to pee now, so all you guys were right..patience, something i dont have much of (im a taurus), but thanks to my beautiful hubbie (hes a pisces) he has plenty of it and helps me to cope too with things. we also bought electra a new little hut thing, a soft little house she can stay in while we are at work which is only 3 days a week, i am home the other 2 and she comes with me wherever i go... thought u guys might want to know..thanks for listening and giving me pointers...

hi everyone, just saying hi and letting you all know how electra is going. she is such a playful little character. she loooooooooooooves to snuggle and snooze with us, oh and she loooooooooves to chew on absolutely everything she can get her mouth around! we took her to the vet last night for her second vaccination she was such a good girl...she has been a very good girl actually...hangs onto her piddle/poo so that when she can go outside she will do it...she does have the odd accident but she knows that she has done a bad thing coz she looks at you with her head down and those cute puppy dog eyes...hehe...how can u punish that! we are going to puppy school in 2 weeks at our vet...cant wait!! he said i should also feed her 80% of kibble for another 2 or so months... one thing that i did ask the vet was about the cooked/raw meat thing he said that raw meat tends to carry salmonela/bacteria more than cooked meat..so its better to cook the meat and feed it rather than giving raw meat.... any feedback?

OT: EBAY ROOXXXXXXXXXXXX

hehahahahahah ive just filled a treat ball with kibble and she is trying just soooooo hard to find out the way to get them out of there....poor thing...thats teasing...hahaha its so funni watching her tho...i feel sorry for her hahaha but it will keep her guessing for hours i guess so i can get some work done around the house and on my ebay store...haha thanks for letting me know about thaat one!

thanks sparky i will give that a go i will mix some kibble some in the rice and veggies ... then another day i will do a test with some mince... what other sort of red meat do u suggest i get .. coz sometimes mince is full of fat and nothing else....im happy to buy the good premium mince for her..im not fussed about cost , as our puppy is just as important as our own selves.

ok i have just tried the rice and veggies...she doesnt want to eat it all she wants is kibbble and meat.... what were they feeding her the poor thing! how do i get her to eat the rice and veggies without killing her of starvation?

we cant instal a doggy door just yet, we will be soon we have an empty swimming pool at the moment, no gate around it and no gate to prevent her from running onto the road...we are hoping and praying that the rain & dampness will stop so our landscapers can work!! i hope to do something real soon tho coz i would love my pup to be free to roam around the yard and explore, it will keep her more entertained than sitting in the laundry all day while we are at work!

thanks matey, great advice... yes we are changing her diet slowly. she loooooooooves rice with veggies and i crushed some garlic in there too..hehe...wog dog.!! love it... on the 3 days i go to work, i give her the kibble in the mornings, then when i get home anytime between 4 and 5 i will give her the rice with veggies or rice with mince .. then at nite for din din i will give her chook necks, i gave her one yesterday and she ate it in one minute flat (supervised by hubbie of course) ... i mite not give her tomato raw as it has a very high acidity .. maybe i will just chop the mushies for her...i loooove mushies..hehe...im going to ask my vet about the barf diet and see if they can help and i might look on the internet and purchase a couple of books...any suggestions guys? i just booked her in for microchipping...if anyone lives within the monash city council in victoria....the BURWOOD RSPCA is doing it for $10!!! i couldnt beleive it...go to their site, and u will be able to download a voucher that u must present...what a bargain! i just had a quik look at her papers, apparently she is chi x pug..hehe..what u rekon she looks like...shes such a character..hehe ps: how the hell do we teach her not to piddle inside!!!! she knows wat to do when taken outside, but she seems to be very lazy and just piddles anywhere when inside!...ive tapped her nose a couple of times and told her off by saying naughty and she knows what she has done wrong...

ohh yes good idea...asking the vet or even go on the local coucil website! i wanted to also ask..back to the food topic...can i give tomatoes and mushrooms?

sounds good thanks nekhbet. does it matter if i give her the rice n veggies at dinner time? i have decided to give her the kibble in the mornings like an energy booster, get her metabolism going, and i will rotate the rice n veggies, mince/meat n veggies and chook necks over the 7 day period sound ok for a pup like electra? ps: we booked her to go see the vet on the 28th of this month. where do we go to register her and micro chip her? does it cost much?: what bout snip snip?

thanks so much i have sort of written up a daily menu that i am going to start doing as of now for my pup..here goes tell me what i should change and what i should replace please if u can anyone.. MONDAY AM (i go to work til 3 pm)= WET KIBBLE MONDAY PM (im back by 3 & feed her again) = BOILED RICE WITH VEGGIES (carrots, peas, corn, garlic, green beans) TUESDAY AM = TUESDAY PM - RAW MINCE WITH VEGGIES (as above) WEDNESDAY AM = WEDNESDAY PM = CHOOK NECKS THURSDAY AM (again im off to work like mondays) = KIBBLE THURSDAY PM = FRIDAY AM = (again work) = KIBBLE FRIDAY PM = what else can i give her?

very good advice nekhbet hehe wog dogs..hahaha garlic breath is ok..i have it everyday...i have it at the moment!!! i will print out all this info and give it to huubbie too so he can read up...im going to google BARF and book the vet so we can take her and get checked for worms, even tho we worm her, u just never know it could be something else.... im going to buy her chicken necks and start her on boiled rice with veggies.... wat do u think about those frozen veggies u get in the supermarket? u rekon they are any good, or would i have to buy normal ones?

ok so u think i should give them breast instead of chicken wings....hmmm everyone does seem to have a diff opinion...my cousin told me to never give breast... what if i crush the chicken necks, coz arent they cartlidge? they're not bones ... i might start reading about this barf diet thing, and print it out for my hubbie to read to...so i should keep her on this kibble stuff and slowly get her onto the barf diet when her teeth grow a bit more, she still nips at us but it does not hurt. thats another thing, how do u stop the dog biting us...when ever she does and it hurts i tap her nose and tell her no biting and that she was naughty and i put her in the laundry for 2 minutes (like nanny frost says to do with kids..hehe)

hi nat, thanks for your advice. the puppy kibble we are feeding electra is the exact same brand as your link but its a purple bag, im not sure as to which one it is tho. FOUND IT ON THAT SITE ... http://www.advancepetfoods.com.au/products/?product=10 my husband watches her eat while i cook his dinner..hehe.. he says to me, she either looooves the food or is really hungry..i seem to think she is really hungry coz she sniffs around the kitchen whimpering and asking for more food!!! i have looked at the BARF diet. i feel as though maybe dogs might need a bit more than just veggies. i know if my husband doesnt eat meat every night he feels like he hasnt eaten, and his body neeeds it...i know its disgusting! i cant eeat that much meat...but men & dogs are the same!!! (have u seen the new show on the lifestyle channel on foxtel .. hehe) where can i get some more info about this barf diet? what else can i feed the poor bubby, she seems really hungry with this kibble stuff, maybe im not giving her enuff, the bag said to give her 40 grams a day of this stuff, but she wants to eat 40 grams per serve!! no wonder i can see ribs .. she needs a greek diet like mine...haha

hi everyone, i havent been on for a while ive been having internet problems and i have missed all your advice and new topics..i have so much to catch up on! i have a question that my husband and i have been debating about.. for those of you who dont remember, we have a baby pup chiuhaha x pug (electra) when we bought her (from the pet shop - yes yes i heard this is a bad thing to do ) and we were given this meatloaf stuff, lamb & veggies and she quite liked it. the meatloaf roll lasted us a week. we were then told by someone to give her this puppy kibble stuff, they look like little nuts that i give to her in warm water, i feed her these once in the morning and once at night becuase apparently they expand in the stomach and keep them fuller for longer... BUT the poor thing seems to be still hungry. she has now learned where the kitchen is and sniifs around the floor and jumps and whimpers around there kitchen bench, poor thing is still hungry. my uncle, who has 2 miniature pinschers told me he has never fed his dogs food from a tin can, he has always fed them chicken wings and necks .. now my girlfriend also boils chicken wings for her pomeranian pup and she has no problems either ... now here is the question that my husband and i have different opinions about... my husband seems to believe that chicken wings and necks are very dangerous for puppy dogs as the chicken bones are poisonous and that the bones in chicken wings and necks are too thin and might be like splinters in our pups throat....can someone please please help me here...i want to know if i should try giving her chicken necks or wings. im a little confused....heeeeeeeeeelp!

hi guys, i am in south east melbourne, where can i enrol me and my little pup and go and make friends...its a bit like mothers group isn't it..hehehe is there any puppy pre schoools around my side of town? thanks xoxo

swallow a whole chicken wing? ...hehe..is that a party trick ur pup does...hehe..thats so cute...ok well we are taking the pup to the vet so we will get some food advice from him...what about home cooked food? what do u think?
