All is good in Kati-land.....

Well things are going really well at Kati's place. The weather has turned and she loves being outside. Had a little thunder storm and she sat quietly, very close to me on the couch last night. She does not do furniture or any kind of snuggle but she was on one side and Molly was on the other and no fighting..........or Molly running her off that is. Neither like thunder and we even managed to have some hail so it was a bit noisy for about 5 minutes.

She managed to find a little ear infection last week and is taking her ear drops with no hassle. I guess she figured out they were a good think and made all the itching stop. She and Dobie are playing out in the yard and a bit in the house, more and more. Walks are still very stressful for her so have not been pushing that much..........she really is quite happy in her own little world. And she is my dog for sure..........will sleep and nap just about anytime.

Had company yesterday and she was taking veggie treats by the end of the visit.....she loves food and that makes her my dog as well. Good think someone gets to control her treats. She still has little accidents on the tile when she is nervous, not so much on the carpet anymore that i can find and i look hard for them. She knows where she needs to go, just gets side tracked from time to time. If she knows she needs to go and we make eye contact at the time......she will rush outside and get just barely outside the dog door and do her business, then come rushing back in. The funny thing is, Dobie is a neat freak shall we say, and will not go out the dog door until the mess is cleaned up..........so he stands inside at the dog door and whines until i figure out what has happened and clean the outside for him. It really is kind of funny to watch it all go down. I guess that is all for now, did not think to have out the camera when they were walking in the hail last night.........one day, i will put it all together.

Traveled again......

I left town again for the weekend and the kids did great it would seem.......and Kati let the pet sitter pet her and rub her as well. I say great, but then i don't know if the neighbors agree with that since they are unsupervised at night and probably howling at the moon the whole time. But it is nice to feel good about traveling again and leaving Kati with "strangers". She is a tough cookie and does not warm up will to new faces and voices. She really does make a person work extra hard to get on her good side. Actually it works out better if you do nothing and let her "come" to you.

The cooler weather has put everyone in dog heaven. Lots of running around outside and chasing each other. Not to mention just sitting outside and taking it all in. Our weather really is perfect.

Kati also got groomed this past week and smells all pretty again. She really has turned into a copy of Dobie somewhat, as she sniffs and marks like a boy. Always has her nose down sniffing on something and getting her face into things......and seems to think it is ok to put just about anything in her mouth. Good thing she is smarter than Dobie and does not eat what does not seem to be food. Have a great weekend............we are!!
