Sisters, Little Cars & Training

Leah (my sister) came home from college a week ago. We were a little wary of her homecoming, just because Mokey hadn't seen her in several months and we weren't sure how that meeting would go. But our worries were unfounded. Mokey didn't even blink twice, she just took a sniff and Leah was welcomed back with happy wags. Phew.

Mokey has also been going on car rides - they're a good way for her to see people without being super close. My car has a barrier separating the front and back to help keep Momo where she belongs. My sisters car doesn't have such a divider and Mokey really likes the air conditioner. The good news is that once you get her settled, she stays in the back, but she still rides with her head on the middle console - soaking up the cool air. Car rides are also a great way to lull her to sleep. Ten minutes and she's out.

This week we've also been training on our walks and in the house. Mokey can now go to her mat and is learning to accept a gentle leader. She'll also put her head down if you ask her 'Are you sleepy?' - even though she probably isn't very sleepy. And she's about to get an award for fly extermination - yay summer.

  2. She didn't have room to lay down and still keep her nose on the console, so she sat and slept! If I tried to move my arm, she'd raise her head and give me a look that clearly indicated she wanted me to put my arm back there so her head would be at the proper height. Too funny!
