We are trying to get her to like riding in the car, so we can feel comfortable about going places with her. I've been taking her with me on my kid drop offs. The kids are on spring break this week, so I'm taxi mom. It's a good opportunity to do short rides. She did really well on the ride home from our breeder's house (Tina Barber, in Filmore, NY). She rode in a wire crate. She only cried for about 1/2 hr. and never got sick.
Although I know a crate is the best way to travel, I don't have a travel crate at the moment and the wire one is too much of a bother for short trips. She was really comfortable in Sara's car seat. Now what do I do with Sara...humm.....
Hopefully someday our cat Tabby and Diamond will cuddle up together, but for now Tabby seems to prefer the upper bunk!!
This is Only the Beginning!!!!
Above : are some of my favorite
"First Photo's" of our sweet little puppy! But keep scrolling down and you'll see just how much she grows and how much fun we have with her.
Below : are my "Posts" from
newest to oldest. If I new what I was doing in the beginning, I would have done all posts so everything would be in Chronological order, but, I didn't, so you'll just have to go with it.
This is also Jan 2009. Diamond started her 1st heat. She was not feeling very photogenic here, and I can't blame her. I had to take some pictures though because I never had a dog go through heat before, and it is a milestone for her. The white diaper (aka my husband's old underware) are just a temp while the denim are washed and dryed. She is doing quite well with wearing them. Hopefully this time next year we will be breeding her.
To see more of these doggie diaper pixs check out my picassa.
This is Jan 2009. Diamond had not seen her cousin Mya since she was just a pup. Now that they are more evenly matched, they played quite well. Mya is still the Alpha, but Diamond held her own. I waited until they had played themselves out before trying to take any photos.
Check out my Picassa for more photos of this playdate.
