Miley, our current foster dog, is making really good progress here at Camp Carlisle. When we picked her up she was literally sick as a dog on the way here. She hates being in the car and caused quite a mess that day. She was also having frequent "accidents" at home. The trouble was we didn't know how old she was because while normally we know everything about these foster dogs before we pick them up, this time we knew next to nothing. She behaved like a puppy but we really didn't know if she was.
Well, all that has changed :) She is just a puppy (9 months) and she's learning really fast. She's much better in the car now – she's been on many short trips and is getting much more comfortable. We've got her on to a good puppy-type bathroom schedule too and she's really doing well. No more accidents.
She's a really sweet dog how just loves to be loved. In tail-wagging she rivals even Puga!
Meanwhile, we're getting to that season of the year (i.e. snow) where the other dog-walkers in the woods hereabouts seem to think that it's perfectly OK to let their dogs do their business on the trail and not pick it up! I suppose they think that the snow will somehow deal with it. Note to such dog-walkers: it doesn't. I'll leave my other pet rant re: trails until a future blog.
