We went for a walk......

So we went for tiny walks this week and actually got in a real walk this morning. Well real being more than two houses away. I have to carry Kati away from the house to walk and then set her down and we walk back home. Today, i took us the other direction and walked on the other side of the street..........and took some treats with me. I cant believe i forget about treats when i want something from the kids.

We managed to walk back past the house and up the other street twice!! This might not sound like much but it was a big deal for us since Kati has really been scared of things outside her big ole back yard. She was very happy when we got back and knew she had accomplished something new today.

Going out of town for the weekend so the pet sitter will be stopping by. Trying Ashley again, as she is less expensive and really does well with Molly and Dobie.........just she and Kati have not hit it off too well. Lets hope since it has been a while Kati has a new outlook on life and Ashley. Only three visits so things cant be all that stressful for them. Details on it all next week.

And then they were gone......

So the company left and everything is back to normal and Kati is herself again. My sister was the one who went with me when i adopted Kati and they actually hit it off at the first meeting better than me and Kati............so Pam takes it pretty personal that Kati growls and barks a bit at her and seems to not have her as her best bud. Kati seems to have an issue with her and i know it is that Pam sends off vibes that let her know she is offended, though not meaning too.

As for the visit, there were probably three or four accidents in the house but for the most part it went ok. Nothing that can't be fixed with Natures Miracle. As usual we always do well outside and at the pool. Think maybe with the humans in the water, she is higher than that are. Kati also went for a dip in the pool and really is not bothered by it all.

Company coming.....

My sister is coming to town tomorrow and Kati will tend to crawl back into herself for a few days if not the whole time. The funny thing about it, is that folks take it personal when Kati does not take to them right off the bat. It really has nothing to do with them at all and they think it does. It is all about Kati and how she feels about the new person being around. Some she takes to faster than others........and there are still a couple she has not taken too at all. It might be the way they look, or smell or talk......but none the less she does things on her time, not the humans.

The weekend was another good one. A couple of potties on the tile but there was some odd stuff going on and i was moving kind of quick with one of those. Quick actions does stress her and that is when she seems to have her accidents. Tile pee is so much better than the carpet. Brat boy Dobie is the one who seems to be marking stuff more lately. I cant possibly give him any more attention, as i don't have any more arms or time. He is getting rubbed and lots of attention so not sure why he is bothered lately. Molly has been cute and lovable and Kati really does want in on some of that. She has been baying at us this morning and making it kind of hard to work.........when she is in need of some tummy rubbing. She gets groomed today and always looks so cute after her bath and haircut.........maybe i remember the picture this time!!
