I am so pleased to report that Fall is here! I just love this time of year. I suffer all summer in the heat with my thick coat. It is such a relief when Fall arrives and the temperature cools off. And we have had a most wonderful event transpire recently! Miss Jacque is taking us for walks in the mornings and evenings. I can not even begin to express my joy and excitement for being outdoors. Miss Jacque and Mr Bob have provided us with a wonderful fenced backyard and easy access in and out. But there is nothing like the wonderful freedom of walking through the neighborhood.
It took Miss Jacque some time to find the right leash and collar for me. I am embarrassed to say that my body is of strange proportions and none of the halters she had would work for me. But she has finally found a leash/collar combination that works quite well. I am also pleased that Miss Mollee and I are able to walk together. Honestly, just watching Miss Mollee enjoy herself on these walks is entertainment unto itself. She sniffs at everything and boldly charges out in front to explore what is around the next corner.
The other evening she walked right by a cat and never noticed it. I didn't say anything to her because I was afraid it might scare her. When we passed back by there on the the way back, she finally saw it and stopped in her tracks. She got low to the ground and sniffed and sniffed and sniffed. It was quite funny. She asked me, "Ivan, is that doggie thingy what smells so weird?? What IS that??" I tried to tell her it was a cat. But evidently Miss Mollee has never seen a cat before so she was a bit confused.
So far Miss Jacque has not been able to coax Mr Rudy in joining us in our walking. He is not submissive to the leash and collar. He wants to go outside with us but doesn't want to wear the collar and leash. Thankfully Miss Jacque refuses to take him outside without them. But I feel bad for him and his fears because after we leave and close the door, I can hear him calling after us, "Take me toooooo!" But he won't get to go until he is willing to wear the collar and leash.
After our walks we have enjoyed coming home to get cookies and water. And then, best of all, we have been able to jump up in bed and take a long nap with Mr Bob. He is not always home so I appreciate every moment I get to sleep next to him. He creates such wonderful warmth with his big body. And he's nicely furry, too. Mollee and I enjoy napping with Mr. Bob.
I look forward to enjoying more of the Fall weather on our walks and can't wait to watch Miss Mollee discover all the great things in the neighborhood.
Have a good evening!
Ivy
