Trying out some other doggy distraction tech: wobble bowls. Conclusion: they like the treat, the wobble isn’t really a challenge, but the bumps slow them down a bit, and the bowls can’t be left down once they are done because the edges get nibbled off.
Little Missy’s isn’t quite comfortable in her Thunder shirt. The front strap has a very wide band of hook and loop that is quite stiff and when she is wearing it, she doesn’t like to lay down. So I unpicked half the stitches and cut the tape in half, then stitched it back together. I hand stitched it because it was a good excuse to sit and watch a show. First fitting after the sewing adjustment went well. We are going super slow on reintroducing car rides and other scary things. I’m taking an online course on dog reactivity, which has so much information that would have been good to know when we first had her, but at least I am learning now.
I was introduced to the Puppuccino for dogs (whipped cream in a cup) by a popular coffee shop a while ago. My dogs love them, but with the reduction in car rides and coffee shops visits (now just of the locally owned variety), their occasional treat turned into a never treat. Until I remembered their Kong toys. A little whipped cream goes a long way in the bell shaped toy!
It is a rough life when you can roll around in your toys! Although they might just be ganging up on her here. Missy loves having a wrestle pile of soft toys. Her favorite wrestle buddy bit the dust recently, so in homage to Wrestle Possum, here are some pictures of Missy as she grew up with one of her favorite toys.
I think the local squirrels enjoy antagonizing the dog. Or it was trying to get attention because the feeder was empty. Still, the squirrel has some brass.
