It’s been pointed out that it’s been ages since my last blog and I have no excuse – I was being lazy!
The kids are doing well. Boomer is big now and has had her final jag so she can go out and meet other cats. Unfortunately though we can’t find a collar small enough for her and don’t want to lose her so she’s still confined to the garden! Poor Boomer!
When it’s time for Yu You’s walk she always tried to escape and gets dragged back in. We will have to try harder to find her a collar. Luckily she’s still a bit scared of noises and when she hears something she darts right back inside and hides. She leaves Yu You to take care of it!
Yu You is growing fast! Our puppy classes are going well and she now can do “sit!”, “down!” and “stand!” I’m not sure what good stand is for though! We’ve also taught her “Leave it!” so that she leaves her treat until we let her eat it. That took me a while but Daniel got her to do it very quickly. In fact with me she doesn’t step back at all but with Daniel she moves quite far from the treat incase she hears his “gowl” voice!
The latest excitement for us is our trip to Japan. As usual we have to worry about where the kids are going. Boomer was very easy to sort out. She is going to stay with her gran (mother in law) as she really likes Boomer. In actual fact I can think of many people who would love to look after her!
Yu You is harder though. I thought kennels at first as that’s what people seem to do but after looking at some pictures and thinking about it I have changed my mind. They look so horrid! Cages outside! I don’t think Yu You would like it. She’s only going to be 5 months old and I think kennels will set her house training back too. They tend to let them toilet in the kennels I think as they are easy to clean.
I have found a company called “Barking Mad” who specialise in boarding pets with people who want to look after dogs but for some reason don’t want one of their own. We have a visit tomorrow from the Glasgow South rep who will show us “brochures” (!!) of prospective homes for Yu You complete with pictures!! That will be interesting!
Some recent pics :
Yu You after a bath! See how much of her is hair!
The pets steal my sofa!
Also, Yu You can get down the stairs herself now! And Boomer is an excellent spider hunter!
