No offence intended, but I’m curious why Vanessa chose to buy a puppy instead of adopting?

[@girlwiththedogs212]

Great question! I have very small dogs, one of which does not like large breed dogs unless he grows up with them from puppyhood. In addition to that, adopting an adult large breed dog could be dangerous to my small dogs. Not because they could be aggressive, but because there is a chance a large dog could accidentally injure a small one when playing or jumping around, etc. I have adopted small dogs, and one day in the future when I don't have my "littles" anymore I will definitely adopt large breed dogs. These teeny tiny dogs are cute but they are so fragile. It can be really stressful constantly worrying about their safety. A damn hawk could eat them 🤦‍♀️

Thank you for sharing with us.

[@jamie1602]

To add, sometimes dogs in your area aren't always suitable for your lifestyle. You should adopt a dog, yes. But is that dog right for you? You'd be forcing that dog to live a life they're not really suited for and your pets/children/etc may not mesh well with the particular dog you have your eye on. You shouldn't force a dog to live in your household if you can't give to them what they need. While it's true all dogs are unique, even within their respective breed, they still need a bare minimum that you can give to them. So explore breed specific rescues. Or purchase from a very reputable breeder. Adoption is not the perfect option. If it is the best choice for you and you have found the dog that fits you and your life, you should choose adoption. Our goal should be an empty shelter. Adopting a dog from the shelter only to bring it back when it doesn't fit the way you live does more damage. They're pets. They're for life.

Unfortunately show dog "looks" is what she's talking about. Where people breed dogs with noses so short they can't breath or eyes that bug out so much that they live in constant, low grade pain as a result. In the case of German Shepherds it's usually rear legs that stick out at a bizarre angle because some show dog judge thought that "looked" good. I've grown more tolerant as I've grown older so I don't have a lot "if I were the king of the world" moments anymore, but shutting down all show dog events and prohibiting breeders that cater to that mind set is never coming of that list.

She is still eating and tries to play, but she is sleeping a lot and stumbles and falls more. We love her so much and she has given us many years of joy. When we eventually get another dog, we plan to adopt senior dogs who have been displaced after owners have passed away or been put in a home.

I found ONE thing that worked for my very fragile and high strung cat. I used a washcloth and massaged the warm soapy water through her fur, then did the same with rinse and drying; using a freshly heated towel (from the dryer). Since there was no bath, no running water, no hair dryer, she didn't freak out. I will say it took a couple hours, but she wasn't a long hair cat, so it work OK.

Puppy feet song? Do tell!

Smart! I washed/ wiped mine off with slightly soapy water and a wash cloth, tip to toe after every walk (and then dried/ brushed-out his long fur), as he would drag his head/ upper body through the bushes when he was reading the pee-mail. Also, we lived in Hong Kong, where the heat, humidity and frequent monsoon rains/ mud/ sand made things really stinky, really quickly -- as I discovered the first time I went to kiss the top of his nose/ muzzle. Pee-euw! 😀. He ALSO liked to find fresh cow pies when we were out hiking (the Trappist Monastery cows roaming loose), and would roll in them, to cover his own scent. I learned to always bring a small container of shampoo and to know the location of hoses for public use, so as to wash him before going home if possible. Once we met the congregation just coming out of church, and people were wanting to pet "the cute doggie" - had to say no, as he was CAKED in fresh cow-pies. 😕 Yuck! Cheers!!

[@Sugary-Stardust]

I did that when we adopted a kitten: I'd handle his paws, tummy, ears, face, and everything every day. It really helps when I need to get goobers off his nose; our other cat we adopted as an adult is an absolute sweetheart but you CANNOT touch his face.

[@orbitalbutt6757]

My big boy GSD Reilly will still immediately come over and roll into your lap with all four gigantic paws in the air if you sing "baby baby baby bug!" to him. Just a little nonsense song I used to make up on the spot when he was lying belly up across my lap when he was a puppy getting tummyrubs. It doesn't matter what the words are as long as you open with and occasionally interject a few Baby Baby Baby Bug!-s here and there. He might weigh 110 lbs and be huge and athletic but he will always be the Baby Bug. I'm a firm believer in the Singing Nonsense To Your Pups school of dog companionship.

I did something similar with my two new cats (an adult and a kitten). I let them have free rein to explore the bathroom and I'd play with them in the tub so they'd have a positive experience. I also had them in the room when I took showers so they knew what sounds they might encounter. My shower has a detachable showerhead and sliding doors, so I get in a bathing suit and go into the shower with them when I bathe them. It makes cleaning them a lot easier and less chances of escaping. They were still stressed about it, but I gave them treats each step of the way and they eventually accepted their fate. No grudges either once they were done. The toughest part was the pet blow dryer I have. I basically treated them like rabbits getting shots (make them face me and hide their face in my arm) and brushed and blow-dried their fur that way. Wearing a thick, fluffy robe also helped reduce scratches on my arms and legs while providing something for them to grip on and hide their face better.

@@atlaslex Like dogs it's good to give them regular baths. It helps make their fur stay soft, non-greasy, less sheddy, and remove dirt and debris (even indoor cats get it like dust, cat litter specks, etc.) Unlike dogs, they don't need one say once a month. Every 3 months is usually fine enough and won't cause skin issues. I currently do mine once a month though, just to get them used to the experience and water.

When I first got my cat, I trained him to let me clip his nails and crate trained him. Crate training was a matter of feeding him in his crate with the door off at first, then putting the door on and crating him for gradually longer periods with treats. He loved his crate and the only time he was stressed in it was in the car at freeway speeds. Claw trimming was similar. First I gave him treats to let me handle his feet. Then clip one claw and treat while only doing a few claws in a row. Eventually I could clip all of them at once no problem. Bathing was always a problem, but that's because he has ringworm when I got him so I had to bathe him without acclimating him to the process.

[@kelkabot]

This reminds me of how my boy Pete, a chocolate Lab, shook and cried the first time he had his nails done. Now he is a big boy (in every way) and a total champ, relaxed with all grooming. It's hard to watch them when they are scared babies, but in the long run this is all good for them if it is done slowly and gently and with lots of treats and love. I admire how the GWTD models gentle but firm dog care, and how she takes lots of time and holds off on e.g. the face wash.

I have never seen a black German Shepard. Lupa is a gorgeous puppy. 💙😊💙

[@pokegal-ew8dh]

Oh no she hated the dryer! 😭 Hope she continues to get better with it

[@annemarrs504]

Lupa is so cute please have her in more videos ❤

[@RenateMtV]

"Lupa is a working line German shepherd" that sentence sounds the best to me. They're most of the time way more healthy! Beautiful dog, I love shepherds (my photo might be a hint)!

Lupa: "I was nice! I didn't pee on the carpet once! Why are you murdering me with this air snake?!"

[@Succubusisis]

She briefly appeared in another grooming video between your feet and I think I heard her once in another. Is she your work companion too? I'd love to see a puppy cam of her watching you work, and an update, bet she's growing a lot! So cute.

[@sophieirwin3497]

So cute! Gidget should be Lupa’s buddy ball of hair for grooming

[@LeeJillian]

Mommy how COULD you??😭 MAMA! NO! Very BAD machine!😄 What a lil love bug!❤🤗🐶👍🏽 CUTEST face!

[@lynnejohnston8922]

I know that you said she wasn't bred for look but I think that she is absolutely beautiful .

[@CherylSimser]

Oh, my, I just love your little Lupa! You calling her a suckie baby just warmed my heart as that was what I called my Kashmir (mini toy Aussie) when she was being, well, a suckie baby. Lol

Love your primer on using peanut butter or not. My pup LOVES it, but she has GI issues and the high fat causes intestinal bleeds. I found this out the hard way, unfortunately. Thanks for your great vids!

Poor thing

My friend's dog got hold of a half (ish) a jar. It was messy.

[@scottvicson3198]

Hello Michelle!👋Merry Christmas and a happy new year in advance ❤🎉

[@alsionbell1]

my puppy was convinced that murder was being done just from Lupa's cries... oh gosh...lol turning down sound now... She is so very beautiful!

[@Morpheus-pt3wq]

"it´s okay, see? You´re fine!" The dog: "You don´t understand! This is WATER! I HATE water! I WANT MUD!" 🤣

[@Discerning_Viewer]

I cried. This video oozes love. Thank you, Vanessa

[@linebrunelle1004]

Lupa brought tears to my eyes. Ooooooh baaaby noooo

[@victoriareyes5748]

Your little Lupa “Wolf” puppy is beautiful!

I think you might have accidentally gotten a husky in disguise.
