Well had a guy visit last weekend and Kati was not too keen on that. They never did kiss and make up, when i look back on things i probably should have let him hold her for a bit to see he was not all bad. But did find out something new.........she does not like people with ball caps on!! I put one on a couple of weeks ago on my way to the pool and she was a little bit barky when i look back on things. It came off as soon as i got in so did not think much of it again.........until Glen put his cap on and she pretty much went off. So no ball caps for Miss Kati for a while it seems.
She and Glen never did hit it off but after he was gone, she kept looking for him down his hallway. We did have some friends over one night and she was pretty interested and was out and about with us. She really does well with new women friends that visit her.........men are hit and miss that is for sure.
She is playing more and really likes going to the swimming pool already. Dobie plays with her and Molly is thinking about it. I catch her following Molly every once in a while but she is just not ready to play with Kati. She shares all her stuff and beds with her, but not her time it would seem. I am sure Molly will surprise us all one day. Not like she does much playing at all but i am sure she will come around.

What the hell........
Hell would be the optimum word today. So unless you have lived in AZ....you wont be able to relate. Yesterday was our first 100 degree day of the year, 103 or something. Today rolls around and we have our first 110, and this is something new for AZ......break 100 and then hit 110 the next day!! Kati is still trying to figure out why she now lives in and oven!!
Molly hated her first summer here, i had to pick her up and physically carry her outside. This evening, she was out there sitting on the sidewalk while i was in the pool with a beer..........Dobie was chasing God knows what along the walls.........and poor Kati, could not figure out what the hell had happened to her new, cool living place. She kept trying to stay outside with us, but was doggie smart enough to know that it was cooler inside. We don't usually get hot, like instantly, but today we did and it was a bit uncomfortable.........even for us locals!!
We are all back in the house now, it is only 104 at 6:51 PM.........and there will be more days like this. It is only the beginning!! I know my little girl will make it, just might take a summer or two. I also know, she will learn how to stick just her head out the doggie door to look around, with her behind nice and cool hanging out in the inside with the AC!! Dobie will teach her that trick in no time at all!! And it is just as funny to watch as it sounds reading about it!! (i gotta remember the camera better!)

All really is good.....
Kati is coming into her own it would seem......i think she "smiles" at me sometimes. But then i am the human and see things that aren't really there sometimes. She has almost decided she does not need to run from me anytime I want to pick her up. We had a little spring storm yesterday and she came to me for safety from the thunder and wind. She and Molly were both at my feet looking for some saving and a lap to be in. You would think that after 12 years, Molly would not be such a sissy with the storms.........she really is better than she used to be but still needs to be very close during all the noise.
Molly is doing so well this spring with her allergies since I put her on the raw food. No paw chewing at all for about three months now and only one breathing weirdness that i know of. I was a hard head with all the reports of the raw food curing the doggie allergy problems. Dobie is half way there and will be on all raw within the next week. He won't know what to do with the top of his paws to chew on. And who knows, maybe even the fur will come back.....LOL!!
So back to Miss Kati......she really has decided that she can do things on her own. Like go out in the backyard and scout for poop. She has become quite the little poop hunter. She barely gives me time to pick it up. I already feed her more than her missing ribs need but on the days i have cut back she really acts hungry very early before it is feeding time. So back to normal portions for her and maybe she will eat/scout for less poop.
She likes to switch up beds a lot. She used to need to be in site of me but i keep finding her more and more heading off to the bedroom and getting in her little bed. All at once i notice she is missing so have to go bother her......the minute you look at her, she has to get up and go see what i am doing. Just like i am checking her out........ Oh, and we had grooming day again this week.
I sent her out to the trailer all by herself and it went great. She has the cutest haircut yet and i need to take a picture for here. Deb can do everything but her toenails, and even with me there she will not allow those to be touched. I rub her feet daily to try and get her used to that little job, but no such luck yet.
Her and Dobie are going to daycare again tomorrow..........seems she really does like going on visits there!!

Doggie daycare again.....
Katie and Dobie went to daycare again and seem to be having quite the time. I drop them off for two hours and this time when they came home Kati was even worn out.
Seems as if Kati is really getting along well with her daycare family especially Mom Sandi......i have to say this picture makes me a bit jealous as she never looks this relaxed when i hold her. But i do have to admit, when i am holding her i usually want something. I am working on holding her more just to be holding her and for it not to be for a chore.

Dobie really is having a good time too it seems, but then you all know he has always been the social butterfly of the family. He truly is just about having a good time and playing with buddies, he does not have a mean bone in his body unless a big kid gets kind of ruff with him. Since this is all going so well........i am sure they will be back for more. Kati gets home and seems just a bit more relaxed each time. This week after her visit, she seems to be very comfortable with just laying down where ever we are and sitting for a bit. Nice to see her starting to relax a bit.
