Lola Reading Newspaper??

Today, I left Lola very early in the morning before the newspaper guy came. The newspaper guy normally will able to throw the newspaper up on my car, so that Lola won't be able to grab it. I have been expected she will bite and shake and torn the newspaper once she has it. Somehow, today obviously newspaper was on the floor..... and she definately enjoyed her moment, without I was there stopping her, and get the newspaper away from her.
When I arrived my house, I saw the newspaper was in pieces, all around the front yard. "Oh.. she has read the newspaper before me!!!"

Lola is a destroyer.....

Lola Was Swimming

Finally Lola was swimming in the sea, competing with my husband. \(^o^)/
At first, she moved her front legs very fast to avoid sinking, only swam for small circle, very fast back to the shore. After few practices, then she gained confidence, and able to swim further away.

Lola Enjoyed The Wave

Lola started her first move, walking into the sea. She was there enjoying the waves come and go.

Lola Went To Beach

We have always want to let Lola try her swimming skill. All the while, searching for a suitable spot for her to swim. Finally we find a quiet beach where we can let her swim freely. When she first arrived at beach, she felt hesitate to step on the seaside, as the sand will be brought away by waves and sink. She moved her head to right, then pause for few seconds, and moved to the left. "eii.... What's this??", I believed this was the question that bothering her.

Lola's friend: Pooh-san

Lola with one of her favorite toy, Pooh-san. Pooh-san is wearing the rabbit costume, and Lola likes to bite the rabbit ear. She always picks it up and bring to us by pushing Pooh-san to our leg, inviting husband or I playing tug-a-war with her. We will try to grab the Pooh-san from her, then throw it far away, she will ran like hell to catch it before us, then repeat playing tug-a-war.

I'm 5 months old

Lola is 5 months old already. She has grown to 18 inch height, and 19kg in weight. I always look at her and imagine how small was she when she first came home. I feel so glad that she grows up. Actually we almost lost her in March, she suffered serious diarrhea and vomit, till required to admit to veterinary clinic for 3 days.
There, she had to take several injections, then supply with intravenous fluid (IV fluid) to avoid dehydration. including Vitamin C, anti-fever, antibiotic and etc... The Vitamin C injection is the most painful one for Lola, she cried in this injection.
She had to wear the "umbrella" liked cap on her neck to avoid her disturbing the IV fluid tube that injected to her hand.
She was diagnosed to have parvovirus with positive reaction to the detection kit. However, the doctor wasn't very convinced with the kit result after he knew that Lola just had her vaccination a week before this serious diarrhea. He assumed that the safe parvovirus from the vaccine may have turns into life virus due to her weak immune system.
Oh.. no.. everybody please don't get misunderstand and scared with the puppy vaccination, it is very low percentage that your puppy going to catch this virus from vaccination injection, very very unlikely. Just Lola is so "lucky" to catch this. Why don't she hit the jackpot instead, then can pay for her medication bill. hahaha.....
She felt so miserable when staying inside the clinic, I still remembered she whined and jumped in happiness when I brought her home from the clinic.

Repeat telling you this: I feel so glad she grows up.

Waiting for Orange

Lola is trying to convince husband & I that she is a nice obedient, and cute looking little puppy. She actually wants us to give her slice of orange which we eating right now. She likes orange very much. If the orange is sweet and juicy, she chews and swallows it very fast; If the orange is sour or dry, she will chews and spit it out, then again eat and spit it out for several times before really swallows it.

She is 8.5kg now

Lola is almost 3 months now. When we brought her back on early February, she was 6kg. After 3 weeks, she is 8.5kg now. Her face also grows slightly bigger. She is more used to camera now, although still acts playful intending to grab the camera from us, but she is not that shy anymore, totally replace by curiosity, showing in her eyes: "What is this??"

I would like to share a typical growth chart for rottweiler which I read from an article.

Oh... Lola is under typical growth... hehe... need to feed her more food. :-p
No.. no... just joking, I will continue feeding her according to the recommended quantity printed at the package of her kibbles (dry dog food). This is because from what I study about puppy, it is better for puppy to grow slow and fit, rather than grows too fast and become too fat.

Playing With Water

I think Lola is a "water dog". Husband & I just like to laugh at her with this title because she likes to make the floor wet, then lie her body down. When we fill in the red water bowl just next to her, she put her front feet in the bowl, and steps on it, all the water splashes to floor, then she looks happily scratch the floor to wet the larger area, and finally lie her belly on the floor.... wow... I think she feels cool and comfortable.
I always tell my husband: "Hey, see.. our Lola is so afraid of hot weather, I believe this proof that she is origins from Germany... the country with winter. haha..."
Actually Lola got no birth certificate, and we don't know her parent, thus, we never know if she is pure breed. We don't really mind this, as long as she grows up become a good, and obedient dog. We just love her. In fact, I wish I would be successfully teaching her to say "I Love you", this is inspired by a movie clip which I saw in youtube, that Husky really can say "I Love you" in doggy tone.
