Puppy Play

As I write this my pupy Kai is amusing herself with a tennis ball. She met my son today back from college and though he carried her on our walk, she is still not happy when he just suddenly appears. She tends to bark, but she also does that with his sister but later she feels remorse.  We left her alone for a bit and she seems okay. I hope she amused herself she was confined, so she would not get into anything.

She met our neighbors dog Parker and seemed quite pleased with the meeting, now she does not run with her tail tucked between her legs when he appears in his yard. That is progress. She does not start to bark when someone approaches the yard and she is always on alert. Took pictures of her relaxing in the yard with my son but then when he came in the house she barked at him. SO who knows how tomorrow with Parker will go.

I get up with her every morning at around 6 am and  take her out, feed her and try to get a walk in by 7 or 8. TOmorrow I think is daylight savings time so that means I will be losing an hour of sleep, yeah me. The dog will care less.  Made the mistake of opening the refrigerator and distracted pup from her tennis ball, now I have a shadow.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring better things in the walking department, still cannot walk down the street without her stopping or running away from dog noises or stopping and listening to kids. Or waiting for a car to pass or waiting for a person to pass, or waiting for the birds to stop singing, or waiting to smell a liriope, or finding a stick to stop and chew on, but never ever walking, no matter how many kibbles, or cheese(which I will not do again) or processed meat I have in my pocket. C'est la vie.

All I know is that she is excited to see me, that she is fun to play with and that I am glad we rescued her. Big Plus she is housetrained, bad she has started nipping. Maybe she is in her terrible twos at 5 months.
