Well, Si loves Frost. I'm not entirely sure how Frost feels about Si. One moment they're great, the next Frost is hissing and spitting and slapping. Cats.
He does. He and Ash used to be very much each other's cat. People were second. But they've really changed over the years.
It's definitely been pretty quick. I expected the progress to be slower, but steadier. The way it's been, changes seem to happen overnight. One day they won't get anywhere near him and the next they're actually approaching him. Ash walked right by Si just a little while ago. I was getting Si a chew to sit in his kennel with while I fed the cats and Ash came out looking for his dinner. Si was, fortunately, more focused on me since I had a chew. Ash hesitated, but once he realized the dog wasn't paying any attention to him, he just brushed right past him.
He doesn't really look like much of a puppy either. Certain angles and it hits me just how young he is, but sometimes he looks pretty much like an adult.
Yes, it is. And yeah, I agree. It's definitely gotten easier as I've done it. It's still not my preferred activity, but it isn't horrible. We get meal kits that send all the ingredients and instructions, so that's most of what I do.
Yeah, we could both work on our patience. Sometimes I get frustrated, but I have to remember we're both still learning. He's just a puppy and this is my first time with a 5-6 month old puppy. But we'll get there.
It's especially hard when you have dogs that don't do well with other dogs though. I can't just take them to pet stores and the like. We did go today, but late at night again when there wasn't hardly anyone there. Though it's kind of nice that there are a number of places that most people don't even know are dog-friendly.
He just totally locks onto her. I think his worst reactions have been when my mom walked Stella by another dog. He's freaked out when that happened though did fine during that situation this morning. He definitely watched, but no huge reaction. I had him outside the other day and Stella was still inside. She started barking and he got all antsy and started acting up after that. He loves her, but unfortunately that's not mutual. She is fairly tolerant of him and is allowing him to be closer to her, but she doesn't quite like him. I don't want him to be her dog anyway, so that's probably for the best, but I do feel kind of bad for him. It's like a one-sided love affair.
I certainly try. I find most people intimidating, so it's not easy but I've gotten better with time. I always like having the chance to learn from my boss since she is a professional dog trainer. Sometimes all it is is reaffirming what I already know, but that helps too.
It is interesting.
Oh, sure. I just have to remind myself to go at his pace, not mine.
It was awesome. I did not expect Frost to stick around when Si laid by him, but he wasn't even fazed. Didn't even lift his head.
