Tesla graduated her first puppy class today! :D She was so adorable. We still have a lot to work on, but she’s getting there. Come is one of our main problem child’s. But I’m hoping to take her to a dog park next week. Not sure which one. But yeah! She still has a problem with guys, but we were given a few tips to help with it, but I doubt she’ll ever be totally okay with guys.
Toy Question
So, Tesla has a problem. We can’t really give her any sort of plush toy. She is definitely a HEAVY chewer, and she just ends up eating her toys if they are plush. But I feel bad because the only toys she really can have are her kongs now. I have a few plush toys that we play fetch with, but I’d like to be able to get her something she can just entertain herself with.
For awhile whenever she would get bored and we couldn’t play with her, I just would give her a rawhide bone. Unfortunately she has too sensitive of a stomach and like I said, she’s a heavy chewer, so she eats through them really fast without hydrating herself and… it’s just bad.
So, does anyone have any suggestions about what kinds of toys she might be able to have? I mean, she loves her kongs, and she has a rubber nylabone… I just wish I could get her to stop eating her toys so I could get her something soft to chew on that will last? Something that isn’t a pig skin roll or a rawhide bone. even bully sticks only last about 30 minutes now.
So, Tesla’s been my test subject for my photography project. xD; Unfortunately I cannot use any of these pictures because we’re not allowed to take photo’s of pets for the actual project. But she’s been helpful to get in some movement practice. Unfortunately, the lights just aren’t good enough for the quick shutter speed needed. D: I also forgot that the camera was set to the highest ISO. But I’m still learning, and it’s an old camera. x.x; I did try though! So enjoy, a few derpy photo’s of Tesla.
Also, any help on capturing moving subjects would be helpful. We can’t use flash either, so there’s another problem I’m having. What kind of settings does everyone use to capture photo’s of their quick-to-run-away-pups?
Hope to post better pictures!
So, I borrowed my dad’s DSLR for my photography class this semester, and I now know all about f-stops, shutter speeds, ISO settings. All that delicious camera jargon. Granted, my professor doesn’t want us taking photo’s of pets for our assignments so I’ll be doing it in my extra time, but at least now I have a proper camera that will take better photo’s then my point and click. xD Hooray!
Also, I’ll finally be enrolling Tesla in training courses soon!
Tesla fell asleep next to dad. She doesn’t seem to care much for my love at the moment. ;n; P.s. sorry for so many terrible camera phone pictures. Our apartment lighting sucks and my camera does not like to take anything better…
On another Note
I’m pretty sure Tesla FINALLY lost all her puppy teeth. Hopefully this was the last one. Her two bottom fang puppy teeth did NOT seem to want to come out, finally the last of them came out! She’s no longer shark mouth! Haha… but man it’s really late in the game for her to have lost them this late… or do puppies usually take awhile to loose all their teeth? (She’s aaaaaalmost nine months now)
About me
About Tesla:Tesla was born May 6th, 2011 as a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We adopted Tesla on July 29th, 2011. She is quite the fast learner and knew after her very first accident that she goes potty outside. She got her name because back in January and February when we talked about getting her, everyone asked if we were going to name our corgi Ein. We never were going to, because we wanted to be more original, so we went with another famous scientist. So yes, Tesla is named after the scientist, Nikola Tesla.
