Please do any of the items that you can:
Demo Video (less than 5 mins)
https://youtu.be/untpXeEBfZg?si=GDCySoGdjf-5A9L4
MUST DO:
- Express Anal Glands (if you can)
- Trim/Shave Tummy & Chest (basically from the corners of her mouth from the bottom, all the way down to her lady bits -- shave it/trim it down)
- Trim/Grind Nails (she has the one "thumb" nail also on each front foot)
- Trim hair right under her nose as some hairs are going into the top part of her mouth
OPTIONAL if you have time:
- Trim legs and feet (as short as possible) from her armpits downward
- Clean inside Ears (and if you can remove the hair inside ears too)
- Even out her coat, tail, ears, face (NOT around the eyes or on top of the nose -- please leave that area alone!)
- On both sides, create a more defined trim from the armpit of the front leg to the armpit of the back leg (as seen in my video)
- Brush Teeth
- Condition well. Her hair gets super tangly so maybe leaving conditioner in a couple minutes will be helpful.
Bella is pretty good at listening to the following commands:
"Sit" - Put your hand up with your palm facing her
"Look at me" - Put your finger near your nose
"Lay down" & Snap Fingers -- this one will come in handy when cleaning eye boogies or brushing in her face or head

Thank you! Much Appreciated!
She eats out of her red plate.
Please give her dish a good wash at least once a day.
She eats 2-4 times a day. The more she gets excited or plays, the hungrier she is. I usually leave out a portion of food and she will go eat when she is hungry during the day.
The only time that we need to ensure she eats is in the morning and evening. She has what is called "hunger pukes" and it's just yellow bile if she goes long periods of not eating.
If she does NOT eat promptly, I am providing wet food and chicken. Either one is fine to add to her meal (1 spoon full, mixed in dry food). I have extra to share with other pups as well. Refrigerate the rest.
The Joint Supplements are square cubes but are really soft. She absolutely does not like them! LOL
She gets half a cube once every other day. They crush really well so I usually mix it with her dry food and a little wet food. This helps her to eat it promptly.
They are over counter so feel free to share with other pups.
Demo Joint Supplement Feeding:
The Dental Treats help keep her mouth from smelling like absolute shit! LOL
She gets one every night before bed. I have extra so feel free to share with other pups.
I included some treats she gets whenever - definitely when she goes potty in the right places. Feel free to share with other pups.
She knows how to Sit, Lay down, Shake (hand), and sometimes "kennel time" where she is supposed to go into her carrier.
Aside from treats, she loves turkey, chicken, ham, and sometimes fruits and veggies. I usually refer to google to see if something is safe for dogs to eat. If google says a food is safe for dogs, then feel free to give her some.
She's had carrots, watermelon, pineapple, sometimes apples, oranges, and she goes back and forth on bananas.
I usually have it in the bathroom or near the door. She SHOULD use it if she doesn't get outside.
I change them either everyday or every other day depending on how much it's used. I included some potty bags to toss dirty ones in. Leave it outside or else it will smell!
If she comes and stares at you after doing a potty, then she is asking for a treat for "good girl go potty" - LOL
She absolutely loves sleeping in bed with us and typically sleeps on her blanket. I do have "stairs" that enables her to come and go as she pleases.
I also have her airplane carrier, dog bed, and her to-go carrier - she sleeps in either of those as well.
Whichever suits her fancy at any given moment, LOL.
1) Clean her eye boogers at least 2x a day. Wipe & comb her face hair at least 1x a day.

2) Brush her 1x daily - or twice if you're feeling frisky.

3) Her ponytail can be combed 1x every 3-4 days.

IF dingleberries end up getting caught in her hiney fur, gentle pressured water (like a hose) will help it to fall off. A dab of dish soap after can be used to cleanse the area. Wait until hair is dry before brushing!
If her hair gets tangled often, then you can wet her hair, lather hair with conditioner, rinse, then wait until it's dry before brushing again.
