Hi Sarah,
We are working hard on Alyce's fear issues and she is making progress but still having a hard time with novel things and new environments. I'm enjoying the project though. Jill on the other hand would like her to go away or grow up:)) The pup has wrecked several of her favorite toys (i.e.footie man doesn't have any feet) but she is getting better about backing off when Jill lets her know she's had enough nonsense.
She's also doing well at her manners class.
I spent a couple weeks trying to get to the bottom of the soft stool mystery since the vet couldn't find any parasites, giardia, etc. Seems to be a food sensitivity. We put her on a limited ingredient diet
(fish and sweet potato) since I was feeding a chicken based food and training treats, like magic she has normal stools. My dog, Rolex, had a sensitivity to chicken it would be too weird if I got another one.
I just love watching her run in the woods. She is sooo fast and agile. The other really funny thing is that she and my young cat Hobbes are best buds. He's still a big kitten and my older cat hates his rough housing. Jill hates Alyce's rough housing so a perfect match was born.
They wrestle and chew on each other till they are worn out then Alyce licks his head till he looks like a drowned rat. You can see what passes for entertainment in my house.
Thanks,
Mary
