More Tashi Photos

We were really enjoying taking Tashi outside and I was working on training him to come when called.  But, the doctor told us not to take him outside anymore until his entire round of shots was complete.  Tashi has come down with some sort of foot infection and the doctor was pretty upset with us.  He actually did tell us initially not to take Tashi outside, but I was like "He's a dog for goodness sake."  Well, I was wrong, but I had just thought even puppies could go outside and play.  He said we can carry him around outside, but don't put him down since he is still only 3 months old and has not been fully vaccinated. We have to wait until next month to take him outside and let him down on the ground, but by then we'll have snow and ice on the ground.  Right now, the fall weasther is just perfect for a playful little guy like Tashi.  Oh well.  Because of the foot infection, poor Tashi now has to wear this cone on his head over the next week to prevent him from licking the medicine off of his foot. The bad thing is that Tashi prefers to poop outside, so we're having to lock him out on the balcony to make him poo on the paper.  He will go to the balcony door and pee very easily, but for some reason he does not want to do number 2 on paper.  Well, that's enough potty talk. He seems to have sensitive skin, so we've stopped giving him the food we got at the market and we're giving him Science Diet and organic treats instead.  The cone has not stopped his energy level though. This is one playful puppy and we're having to take the 'don't bite us' behavior modification plan up a notch.  Now, the doctor recommends rolling up a newspaper and slamming it on the floor or a table really hard when he bites. The point is to startle him.  We'll see how it works.
