Sleeping with the Rest of Us!!


Well, I have to do better with my entries. At least one every other day as there is something new that happens all the time with Kati. Like last night, she came and slept in the bedroom all by herself. In the past, I have been having to pick her up from her living room bed and sitting her in the bedroom bed......she came all on her own and slept all night!! Even came back in while i was getting ready for work and sat a bit. I know she hangs out in the bedroom when I leave the house, as i see her run out of there when i get home. I think she hangs out in the old abandoned bed that Molly will use every once in a while. As it turns out I seem to have 8 dog beds in various places around the house and only 3 dogs.....hum, probably need to quite buying dog beds you think. Molly is the only one to ever wear one out, as she "digs" in when she is making her place.

I had a meltdown on Thursday and sent off email to BF folks and really thought i was not making much progress with Kati, but based on what i said they all came back and said she/we were doing great. I really struggle with her bathroom issues, which are mostly mine. She only has problems when i am all stressed out about where she will pee next. I blocked the dog door this morning and she did both outside this morning while she was running around with Dobie and i was hanging on one of the chairs. She never has trouble when i am not at home. Go figure!!

So I gave her and Dobie a sock yesterday and they had a blast with it for about 5 minutes and then again this morning. She is playing more and more with toys, tends to grab and take them outside to keep them away from others. Her and Dobie have even tugged with one a couple of times. She really likes the fringe on the pillows and blankets, not to mention the toilet paper roll and an occasional catalog.......she really enjoys tearing them up. Probably a bit of a bad habit, but she seems to really enjoy it.

Treats......she has finally figured out treats and I have allowed her to become almost as much of a treat hound as Molly. She will even come in between the other two now to get hers and they both just about have it figured out that it is not theirs but hers and they let her come get it without too much of a hassle to her. She knows we do treats anytime i sit down to eat.....again, not a great idea but we are all eating at the dinner table.....LOL. And she has even finished a couple of bully sticks and well as the cet chews. I guess in the big picture.....she is coming along just fine. More tomorrow.......since i am behind.
