Adoption Update: Cammie!


Hi Angie and Dave,

Cammie is quite a character !! Do I get a refund if I can prove she is part mountain goat?? (Just kidding) Yesterday morning I took her outside and playing ball for a substantial time. Coming back in I put the balls in paper towels and on the back of the dryer. I was ironing and heard a ruckus in the mud room. She was up on the dryer getting the balls. Very pleased with herself.

We have taken walks on the lead 2xday. Today was a mile and she does very well. We got close to a field used for horses (none in sight) another used for cows. She balked and refused to go further. I did not see the value in pushing it since we had reached our turning point. Any idea what that may have been about? (There was an electric fence but on the other side of the road.

Another interesting behavior--did you play with pillows with her or maybe have little pillow fights yourself?? On Sunday I fluffed a bed pillow and she went crazy jumping and running circuits around the bedroom obviously thinking it was play time. Today I was changing pillowcases and trying hard not to make any "fluffing noise" She still went crazy jumping up trying to getting the pillow and it continued as I attempted to carry bedding downstairs. I got her outside and we ran laps around the house until she settled. I'd love to play with her but not sacrifice bedding.

A learning experience for all of us. Jean
