Matilda

shredded dog toys and cardboard boxes

Shredder (not pictured) has been named Matilda, as [personal profile] jesse_the_k suggested. I'm mostly calling her Tilly. Silly Tilly.

The shelter guessed her age at two, but my vet says no, maybe not even one year old yet. The vet says she hadn't been through a heat cycle before she was spayed. I don't know how they can tell! Spaying removes ovaries and all, right? But the vet was palpating her abdomen, saying "I don't feel anything, do you feel anything?" and the vet tech agreed, nothing, and then they said she hadn't even been through a heat, so they didn't think she was two years old yet.

She loves people. Even vets. I want to take her to dog classes, but getting her into the car to go to the vet was too hard. Not signing up for getting her in a car once a week yet. Oh, and she shredded TWO harnesses, one in the car on the way back from the vet.

I'm honored!

and yikes those are some sharp teeth and mighty jaws. Our Lucy would systematically shred a flossy rope toy in less than ten minutes. She was unable to destroy Mammoth or Kong rubber toys.

Are you a crate person? That level of shredding would turn me into a crate believer in a minute.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's mostly new-place-stress, and she'll be much calmer by the time February rolls around.

Goodness that's an energetic doggo! Fingers crossed you find a good outlet for her attention, and soon.

Oh my.

My kid watches an adorable cartoon with a character named Tilly and at one point she turns into

TILLY TORNADO!!

I think you have a similar situation going on here. LOL

Yay for easy vet visit, and liking even vets.

That's a lot of shredding. Yay for wooden floors and not carpet.
