We've had Bullie (previously known as Bella) for 3 days now. She's so sweet and we're getting used to her now but I have 2 issues I'm trying to figure out:
1.) How do you guys coral slobber? Bullie doesn't slobber all the time. From what I noticed, she slobbers when she's chewing toys, eating treats, eating/drinking food and that's about it. The treats and eating/drinking is manageable because she does it in the kitchen and I have rags and stuff ready to catch them. But, she would grab her toy, walk around the house shaking it like she's trying to kill it which causes slobber to fly all over. Do you just give her toys when she's in her kennel?
2.) How do you stop her from bullie-dozing you? I have a bichon frise named Gizmo that she plays with and he is only 18lbs - a tiny dog compared to Bullie. Sometimes, when they're playing Bullie would get too active and run around in quick spurts. Gizmo doesn't like that because he ends up getting bowled over so when Bullie does the quick spurts, Gizmo would run to me and go behind my legs and here comes Bullie running after Gizmo, and for some reason, she doesn't see my legs as an obstacle - she just runs right into me. It might be because Bullie grew up on carpet and I have wood floors so she's having a hard time gripping to stop. But then, she does it when she's walking too - she would just walk right over Gizmo instead of swerving to avoid him. The interesting thing is, she hasn't broken anything yet - like the ceramic vase by the couch, she's been good with not walking through it. So, it's just human and dog legs that she doesn't see as an obstacle...
Aside from those 2, she's been perfect!
