hi wendy,
no, she isn't less interested in Canidae, i just found out, that she used to get constipated, like very hard stool from the first time we got her. we mixed her food with water but to no avail so we increase the fiber in her diet. i don't cook the veggies, i normally will blend carrots, sawi,lettuce, cucumber and any veggies i can think off (excluding spinach & citrus veggies- i read this is not recommended), and i keep it in the fridge. the chicken stock, i also do in advance, this is very convenient as when u buy whole chicken, you will have the bones, just boil it. i put 1 piece of garlic, chopped finely and boil the chicken in it. DO NOT PUT ANY KINDS OF SEASONINGS.
i gave her egg, 1/2 boiled but i don't want her to be too biasa, plus egg have so much protein and the yolk got so much cholestrol mah. if u want to give, maybe 2 weeks once lah. other diet don't affect the stool except human milk and wheat bread, pls don't give her this 2 things. however plain, yoghurt with lacto (that good bacteria) is good if ur doggie has bad stomach problems.
haha, she is just curious, try this, sit down and eat the pear (once slice), she will sure be curious and also want to eat. when my Roxy was younger, she will play with the pear, i think she thinks the pear is alive, and start pouncing it like a cat, now she don't mind. or maybe daisy don't like pear, Roxy don't like apples, so we opt for the chinese pear, not the round one but the pear shape one:) cucumber is also something i give Roxy. banana, watermelon, starfruit (the two last ones, we give if we eat, we will not buy it just for her).
any veggies u want to give to her, give it raw, wash properly, no need to peel the skin, just make it in small chunks so she can eat it. i don't use commercial treat for her to do tricks but i used sliced cucumber or carrots and she loves them. you can also cut half a carrot and give it to her, this is a good chew "toy" and also nutritious, just supervise her so she don't choke herself.
at 8 weeks, yes she will move a lot when u comb her, Roxy still does that sometimes especially when i come her tail, she hates that but has to be done mah if she attacks the comb, move the comb and say no. continue again, dont' put her on ur lap. ur doggie is not going to be that small for the rest of her life. when she is all big and heavy, you can't put her on the lap, if you do sure ur thigh become numb already. make her sit or lie down with a chew toy and u praise her as u comb her.
hmmm.. a vet in UPM told me, you should not bath ur dog at all until she one week after her 2nd shot, she is very prone to disease, my advice, don't bath her. Roxy didn't get her first bath till she 11 weeks. that is also because i was cleaning my balcony, she so water freak and went under the water pipe, wanting to catch the water. in the end, she became all wet.
good luck..anything that u do now, do remember that she is not going to be small forever, if u don;'t want her to some things now, don't start the habit. you don't want a 50lbs dog jumping on and knocking ur kids down. the dog has to know she is the last on the hierarchy and her master(your family) are all above her.
