The association prefers a prefabricated bridge, as opposed to culverts, as a way to handle a greater volume of stream flow and reduce the buildup of debris during storms, the resolution says.
Director David Goode told council members Friday he was willing to discuss the matter in committee. Goode pointed out that council members appropriated money for the project in fiscal The department completed an environmental assessment and obtained a special management area permit and a shoreline setback variance, he said.
Goode said the county risks losing federal money for the project if it misses project deadlines, and the council committee had nine months to take up the matter and still a meeting had yet to be scheduled.

Investigate TV. Updated: Dec. Share on Facebook. I am normally up by anyway, so I would let them out again at and put them back for another two hours before breakfast. Each night, I pushed the time to get the puppies up by about 10 minutes. Week Two : By the start of this week, I was getting the puppies up at am and am and am. Each day I would let them sleep okay I would sleep 15 minutes longer between getting them up. Week Three : At the beginning of the week, I was getting the puppies up just twice, once around and again around so just once for me since I was already up at I would push the time back each night by at least 30 minutes.
To be honest, our second puppy inherited a bladder of steel from his parents. By the time he was 10 weeks old end of the second week at home , he slept through the night without any accidents. I knew by his reluctance to get out of his crate in the middle of the night that he was a better sleeper than our first. The kennel we had for our first Shihpoo was too big, and he used it in the night a couple of times as his pottygrounds. Not pleasant.
Once we put him in a smaller kennel, he never had another accident. For families who would like their Shihpoo puppies to sleep with them in bed, read our blog how to introduce your puppy to the hooman bed with as little risk as possible for potty accidents.
As for daytime potty training, the bell at the door is the key. You can buy a nice looking doorbell mounted to the door or the floorboard, or you can use a jingle bell on a string hanging from the doorknob like we did. Either way, set a one hour timer as a reminder for yourself. At the top of each hour, offer your puppy some water and some food.
Five to ten minutes later, walk or carry your puppy to your back door where the bell is, set them on the floor, and use their front paw to tap the bell. Then, let him or her out. Keep an eye on the puppy while outside so that as soon as they have done their doody, you open the door and bring them back in. Shihpoos are pretty smart cookies, so it might take a few a three or four hours before they connect the door bell ringing with being let outside. Not long after that, they will start ringing the door bell to go outside and play if they are bored inside.
Let them out anyway so as not to disassociate the bell with going outside… at least for a couple weeks. Our first puppy caught on immediately and has been wonderful with the bell. Our second puppy took a month, but that is mostly because he would simply follow his older brother out the door after the older Shihpoo had rung the bell.
Although sleep and potty training are perfect for the 8-week old, many experts suggest waiting a week or two before beginning other training activities. See our post for details on the 5 easiest commands you should start teaching your Shihpoo, but the include Watch Me, Bed, Sit, Stay and Come. Training is not a dog thing. It is a human thing. Your puppy is smart and can easily pick up any of these commands within a matter of a day.
The problem is that we humans tend to get lackadaisical, and we sometimes even stop using the commands. This confuses the puppy. This is why puppies so often come back from obedience school with great manners and then revert to frustrating behavior within a few weeks. We humans need to go to obedience school too For the first two months you have your Shihpoo at home two to four months of age , you should expect him or her to want to chew and chew and chew on anything left on the floor.
Shihpoos are not the voracious chewers that, say, golden retrievers are, but they will naturally chew on things as they go through teething. The good news is that so long as you provide them with several chew toys and you keep your floor relatively picked up, your Shihpoo should not turn to any destructive behavior. Your Shihpoo puppy will love to chew and pull and tear any toy he or she is given.
Check out our recommendations here. Besides providing the chew toys, your role will be to engage your puppy with those toys. If you received your Shihpoo puppy at 8 weeks, this tiny 3-lb fur ball of cuteness seems so fragile that you wonder if he or she will ever grow into a sturdy, strong adult. Hold onto your dog bones, because the growth spurt is about to start. While big dogs are not fully grown until almost two years of age, the toy variety including your Shihpoo will generally be done growing by their first birthday.
From two to six months of age the Puppy Stage , they are growing especially quickly. This Shihpoo puppy growth chart gives you an idea of where your own puppy might end up weight-wise. If he or she starts out smaller say 5 lbs at age 4 months , expect him or her to end up weighing less at adulthood. The three-pound energy fluff ball you brought home at eight weeks might double his or her weight within a month, doubling it again by month six or seven.
Our adolescent Shihpoos ages months weighed between 10 and 11 pounds, growing only another two pounds or so by their first birthdays. Around age six months, your Shihpoo will begin loosing his or her sharp little baby teeth and replacing them with the larger adult teeth. Six months is generally the recommended age for neutering or spaying your Shihpoo. Unless you plan up front on breeding Shihpoos which is usually done with Shih Tzus and Poodles rather than actual Shihpoos , we highly recommend you take the responsible route and have your puppy fixed.
The cost can run a couple hundred dollars, but some veterinarian services and hospitals offer a monthly service contract that includes the cost of neutering or spaying. Do not be tempted to remove it earlier.
