I'm famous
Sunshine here! Mom has been telling us all about this greyhound walk we are going to have at MY park tomorrow! We are so excited. Rainy and I have gotten our nails done, then we were furminated outside and brushed down with a super soft goat brush (no idea y that brush has toof marks) and we were sprayed with a coat conditioner! Ick. Mom says Rainy needs another bath. Glad it's not me. That bathroom is evil! We are going to see zillions of new houndies tomorrow so I have to go get my beauty sleep on my memory foam bed. Love my crate....

Someone....
has been eating the kitty poop! Judging from Sunshine's God Awful breath we have the culprit! Rainy is much too sophisticated to ever dream of eating poop. We already have the litter blocked off with a board, and the boxes turned in towards each other, but it's no match to a puppy with a craving! So today i am on the search for a self cleaning litterbox and puppy breath mints. We can just wave those hundreds of dollars away.
On the fear front Sunshine has been do perfectly! I haven't had to drag her anywhere in at least a week. No potty accidents in 13 days. She's been a perfect lil angel! Well expect for normal puppy badness. Not sure if it's the prozac kicking in or Jackie Weaver working with us and reading Sunshine the riot act. personally I think Jackie is helping more than the meds since she creates instant change, but I'm not taking her off the drugs for a long time.
I'm been attacking Sunshine while she's on the bed. Making funny gowly noises and shaking her around and blowing raspberries on her belly. A pups gotta get used to bizarre things! She just looks at me like I'm crazy, gives a big sigh, flops down, and goes to sleep. She would be such a good kid's dog as soon as she got over being scared of them.
Last Saturday we went to a Meet and Greet at Concord pet. They are so nice and the manager is really excited to have us bring the hounds in. We could only set up a very small Xpen for the dogs to go into so Rainy had to stay on leash and work the crowds.
As soon as we got there some kids descended upon us and poor Sunshine just froze in place while they petted her and tried top shove cookies in her mouth. She was good though and didn't have any potty accidents out of fear. I figure throwing her to the sharks once in a while isn't a bad thing. The kids didn't hurt her in any way and she needs to figure out that strangers are fun.
Meanwhile the kids were hanging/hugging/petting Rainy and she loved it! There was even a little toddler that petted Rainy's butt while Mom was checking out at the register. Didn't phase Rainy a bit, but the Mom saw it and told the kid "No... remember we only pet the head where the dog can see us." Glad some parents are teaching their kids dog manners!
Rainy was even started catching on when I pointed her towards someone who just walked in the door. Usually she's pretty reserved with strangers until they initiate contact with her, but she did a good job walking up and begging for attention form the strangers. Usually she just stands there and whines pitifully until they pet her and ask what's wrong. The girls even got to meet a very polite adorable puppy!
