One of them swallowed a rock, and one of my co-worker's dogs did too. Both pups are OK now..but it was touch and go for both of them.

The first few months of having a new puppy always seems kind of stressful as they're always getting into something.<BR/>Regarding the stings... a long while ago, we had a beautiful sable Rough Collie named Sheena. This was back when we had goats and horses. When she was about a year old, she ran against the electric fence in our barnyard and got zapped on one side. She ran away from it yelping, and then stood looking at her side and then at us. After that event, any time she got upset, she would look at that spot on her side as if it still stung. It seems dogs don't forget traumatic events too easily.burning silohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03699849089828169389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-34952860458605406232007-08-19T20:31:00.000-05:002007-08-19T20:31:00.000-05:00What a lot of work you are doing, but it is reward...What a lot of work you are doing, but it is rewarding.

That is so true. Our 4-year-old chocolate lab, Lily, had an incident as a puppy where she got into a swimming pool without really knowing what she was getting into. To this day, she loves water on her legs but is not a big fan of swimming (very un-lablike!)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219439074687598827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-72515122265758625852007-08-19T05:55:00.000-05:002007-08-19T05:55:00.000-05:00Glad to hear Luka is ok after the wasp episode.
