Too Much Rain
It has been a very wet summer here in the south. Along with the rain has been strong gusts of wind, which has unfortunately taken out the bulk of three of my trees. My son in law was nice enough to come over and take the damaged limbs out with a chainsaw, saving me a lot of hand sawing and cursing. Since he cut my workload down by 75%, I told him that I would clean up and haul the branches off myself. Well that was my intention anyway. Living with a Pyrenees means that most of what you do, you don’t do alone.

Emi is welcome to pick where she wants to sit or lay, including whatever furniture is in the house. Kiah isn’t so much about the furniture I have but seems to have decided that Emi is her own personal easy chair. It’s hard to describe accurately how she saunters over, not a care on her face, until she is close to Emi. Then she just flops down right on top of her, many times sliding off Emi’s soft fur to tumble over on the other side. She will either straddle Emi, fully on top of her, or drape her front legs across her and wiggle herself comfortable. Many a time Kiah will look up at me and smile while Emi peers out from beneath a tangle of legs looking very much abused.

I firmly believe in positive training and have been exploring clicker training. Arming myself with tiny pieces of hot dog and a fancy little clicker, I gathered the dogs and got down to work.

I am so loving watching the interaction between Emi and Kiah. Yesterday we had a bad thunderstorm blow in late afternoon. Emi is very nervous during these storms and usually wedges herself under my desk downstairs.

Kiah is quickly coming into her own. She had me rolling on the floor laughing last night. She was in a playful mood and Emi was in a mood to humor her. Kiah would pick a toy and prance around the room trying to entice a totally disinterested golden retriever into taking the bait. Emi would just sit there and watch, not moving. Kiah tried everything. She would drop the toy enticingly close to Emi ready to snatch it out of the way at the last minute. Still Emi just sat there, unblinking, as still as the sphinx itself. Kiah picked the toy back up and looked over at Emi. Emi exploded up from the dog bed and rushed Kiah. She flew around the table, stopping at my feet. Poor Kiah, it scared her really well, but only for a moment and she was right back at it, struggling for dominance over a small stuffed cat.
