Hot summer in the city......

So summer has arrived and it is hot, well only 96 now and it is supposed to be 102 today so not so bad really. So with the heat comes me spending a few hours on the pool each weekend. Kati is very interested in the edge and what all goes on in there. So today we got her feet wet and was not happy at the time but seemed to come back for more. My other dogs, when taken into the pool instinctively start to dog paddle before they ever hit the water, she did not do that so will have to be careful as we get more of her wet. I do have a doggie life jacket so might see how she likes that. I have not tried to dress her up in anything, so will be an interesting venture for us. I held her and just got her back feet wet. She wanted out immediately so I set her out and she was very interested in her feet and all that wetness. She is so funny to watch as she discovers something new.

The garage door to the house really seems to be a big deal for her. She has decided is kind of fun i guess to go on the house from the garage entrance and then run and meet me back outside when i come from another direction. I was reluctant to play that game as there are cars and many spot is could not get to if she decided to get "lost" in the garage, but so far she is fine with the circle.

This week has been a big week for us. In the past if i wanted to pick her up for any reason, i pretty much had to corner her in a room or corner. Well this week, she has decided to stop once i start to approach her rather than run away. She does cower in her tracks, stops and waits for me to pick her up. She still will not make eye contact when i ma holding her but it is so cool she is not running away from me anymore..........what is next, maybe sleeping on the bed!! That is something we will have to clear with Molly. And i do have to say, Miss Molly has been way cute the last few weeks. She has been very happy, very social and darn right lovable. Hot weather is her time of the year i think......and maybe she is deciding Kati might just be ok.

Dobie got his first gecko of the summer this past week. He got a big one and was very proud of his kill.......let him outside this time and did not bring him in to show me. I really do appreciate that.
