Isolina (many new pics may load slowly) - Page 2

Thanks guys!
Funny a couple of you mentioned the stairs with her keeping me busy... I was so proud last night, as I was when Indi first went up the stairs, I wasn't thinking of the trouble part lol. 
The dogs are not allowed upstairs when I am not up there, and just to be chatty....I have to lock my bedroom door to keep my three year old son out of there. (Last time I assumed he was playing nicely in his room he was actually painting in my room. With nail polish. On my wall. And his own fingers and toes... And spilled two whole bottles on my light beige carpet. All of a sudden, I  smelled it and *knew* LOL) So anyway I don't need my youngest child or my puppies getting into trouble up there by themselves  :-)
I think all she needed was the 6 hours of sleep we got last night. She's already running around with her toys- and my son's that I never bothered to pick up before bed ;-) That won't matter though because as soon as he wakes up the entire toy box would be emptied on the floor anyway. I tried puppy proofing before I left for the airport last night and brought all of his toys upstairs. When I called the babysitter to check on him she told me how he brought down two diaper bags full of his smaller toys to "show her."   sigh...  I give up...

And No jason I haven't introduced her to Indi yet. She sleeps in her kennel outside like the big dogs. Later on I will put Indi in her crate inside so they can get used to each other... Indi is very dominant and I don't want her punking Lina (my son's nickname for her) She seems pretty confident and if I let her near Indi now she'll get hurt.
Her first introduction will be to Jena (as I did with Indi) Jena adores other dogs, especially puppies...But that will be a few weeks away too, just because Jena is such a big doofus she might unintentionally hurt her. The only ones I let run together (always supervised) are Galan and Jena or Indi and Jena.
Galan is also dominant so I can't even let Indi run with him. He's too cranky towards other dogs. He was attacked once at about a year old, and ever since then he doesn't like dogs approaching him nose to nose. He doesn't seek out trouble and is being taught to watch me and not eyeball other dogs, but he still cannot be trusted to "play" yet.

Well I went on and on, as usual... Thanks again for the compliments on her.

Congratulations Stacy! She's a cuteamous gem! I really like the nickname "Lina".  And thank goodness for supportive spouses like Matt!

I love her curious face and the following you up the stairs story. lol  What an outgoing character. 

Very cute, already chewing on the pants you say :)   Congrates !
Always,
Cee

Shady, Matt is great...  I would have been devastated (yes I'm dramatic sometimes) if he had said NO. But he realized this was our only opportunity to get one bred like her, so he agreed... She has been very outgoing and has already learned that "Lina Come!" means a treat :-)
I am trying to refrain from using any of the "field" commands at home...

Cee, Yes she sure went after my pants already, and she also like shoes :-)

Her appetite is great and drinking plenty of water. I gave her a little kibble last night and for breakfast. This afternoon she had a raw chicken leg for lunch and loved it, She'll have the same for dinner...

Mobjack...I pm'ed you

Stacy

Thanks Vonissk, I appreciate the kind words and encouragement from everyone on here

Ohhh no, no ... I no longer fold laundry downstairs I stay shut up in my bedroom.... Isolina even stole the blanket I keep on my sofa earlier and tried to shred it LOL

Congrats, now the waiting is over. She sure is a cutie. I got a hankering for puppy breath now.
