Her ears aren't red or smelly but the insides of her ears aren't smooth, they're a little bumpy and in one spot it looks like a pimple. What is it? and how do I fix it? I hate for her to be uncomfortable and itchy...
I just said to Myka "Stop" and she did. I'd say it again whenever she started and she pretty much doesn't do it anymore unless she needs to go outside in the middle of the night
"I'm just trying to fill the void she's leaving. maybe not the best way"
I disagree -- you are honoring her memory by opening your heart and home to a needy gorgeous pup. Good for you! And this really IS the best way to do it.
I used a partial cookie to get Myka in to the car, though I had to help her in the first few dozen times. Then I threw her toy in and said "Load up!" Now she gets in when I say "Load up!"
