Day 90 of Dog (and a repeat on 91)

I went to sleep and left both sides of the cage open--botht he one to the pantry and the one to the dining room. And I got up to a most peculiar smell....
Diarrhea in the dining room. A lot of it.

t back and promptly fell asleep on the couch, and as of bedtime hasn't had a recurrence of sick. So I will hope the bug's out of her system.

Day 88 of Dog

nice long walk.

Day 85 of Dog

Darn that darn dog! I threw a toy for the little dog and it hit the wall in the kitchen, just outside of her cage. She was in the dining room under the table, close to my feet, and she freaked! She ran into her cage and into the dog crate we had there.

She's come back out now, but still isn't eating. Darn her.

Day 84 of Dog

My brother got her a bed at Wal-mart but I've yet to see her sleep on it. Funny how this little dog who'd probably never seen a dog bed in her life, when she went to boarding kennel, immediately curled up on a little white dog bed and made it hers. SO I'd been wanting to get one just like it for her, but time and kid things intervented. FInally I mentioned it to my brother, who has a Sam's membership and goes shopping every weekend.

He didn't like the ones at Sam's but found this big, brown, high-sided, extremely cushy bed at Wal-mart. I had my doubts, but....

So it's there, in her cage. And she's still laying on the two kitchen rugs topped by a towel that I put down for her.

Day 81 of Dog

Trying to get her accustomed to Cranky, I 'heeled' her down the hall to the little girl's bedroom and asked Cranky if she wanted to pet the dog. Well, Cranky didn't understand I had the dog right there. She burst out of her room and sparked a complete panic.

The panic was over pretty quickly, thanks be to Dog, and we finished up our walk quietly. No incident.

Day 80 of Dog

Today when my teenage girl tried to pat her, Izzy climbed over the couch and knocked over a concrete block (one of the supports for her cage.) I was so petrified it would fall on her foot, I shrieked.

We have got to make time to work with her.

Day 79 of Dog

Tomorrow's Saturday and I don't have to go to Arkansas! We're going to take a nice long walk and maybe a bit of a jog. We're going to practice The Sit. And we're definitely going to get a beef bone!
