She has doubled in size! Crazy how fast she has grown and we had to give her first little trim. Eyebrows needed a little cut. So after a quick shampoo and while covered in the towel I made my attempts using some special scissors. After a few attempts I managed to get those eye brows. Not perfect, but back to her cute self.
Biting has calmed down a bit, but she still has little out bursts of biting. If it gets too bad she had to go for a bit of a time, which does the job. She is going for a sleep in the afternoon, which after a few minutes she is asleep.

Slept through to 8 in the morning..
Last night she was biting as per normal, but with a little less intensity. We tried the pin technique when she was going a little crazy and held her for 1 minute and then ignored her once released. The seemed to calm her down and stop her biting peoples feet 8).

Stung by a Wasp
Well she has only been with us for 3 days and the poor little thing got stung by a wasp!! A whimper and a little limp confirmed she was stung and we found a tiny little wasp in our living room.
Jen was upset and worried, but I tended with some icecubes on her paw to see if that calmed it down while we frantically searched on Google for the answers. No sooner had we found some of the remedies Jen wanted to take her to the Vets.
The Vet actually found the stinger still in her fur on top of her paw (I thought it was her pad). So the Vet removed the stinger and she is no on a dose of steroids and antihistamines. (Poor little thing).
4 days course....
