greenstormI divide the creatures in my house into two categories: agents of order, and agents of chaos. Some of us, like Whiskey, like routine and will enforce it and also positively reinforce those of us who do it. Others of us, like me, will tend to disrupt routines and just do random stuff. Avallu was an agent of order. Little Bear is an agent of chaos.
Solly really likes order, and she gets some with the walks etc, but I can't always remember what the order is supposed to be. Do I feed her after the second walk, or before the first? I know I was trying to set a routine but I can't remember which.
The days are getting hot enough that for the two afternoonest walks she mostly wants to lie in the shade instead of walking, though walking for physio is necessary, poor girl.
She is infinitely forgiving with me though. Absolutely the softest and snuggliest and most accepting floof. Basically a giant pipecleaner dustball with puppy eyes.
We're also developing, I want to say a communication system more like a horse through the leash. I have a couple sounds I make to get her attention or say, yes, this or no, not this. I also kind of... twitch the leash across her back to communicate, or do a slightly firmer pressure on her collar with the leash if necessary. We walk with a loose leash and her leading with me steering from behind when necessary. It's super interesting.
And she is starting to learn the word "home" now.
