Have Leash Will Walk

Have leash will walk. Here’s the story: mom keeps my leash on the door handle of the back door because I wear it when I go outside. Well, I wanted to go for a walk the other day so I gently took the leash in my mouth and dragged it to the front door because that is the door we use when we go for our walkie-woo’s. Mom is one smart cookie, she got the hint really quick and after picking her jaw up off the floor at my most clever act she got treats and poopy bags together and we went for a walk! It was fun; I peed on a lot of bushes, sign posts and mailboxes!

So, the very next day I wanted to go for another walk and…you guessed it! I gently grabbed the leash and dragged it to the front door and mommy took me for a walk! Wow, her training is really coming along.

Ooooo, Friends! Guess what I did last night! I cuddled with daddy. He sat on my bed in the living room and gave me a few treats, I sat for one of them and then I felt safe enough to lie down! I snuggled right up to him and he pet me gently and said nice things to me so I stayed there. I have never felt comfortable enough to do this with him, heck I’ve just started to cuddle with mommy. I try so hard to remember he is a good guy and that he loves me so much but I still have some bad memories of men from my past but he keeps trying and keeps trying. He is full of love for me and wants only good things for me. I am starting to learn this but it’s hard for me to trust men but I keep trying and keep trying too.

Here’s another story of cuddles: the other night it was just me and mom at home. She sat on my bed and I snuggled right up to her and we were so snuggly and happy. She realized the tv remote was across the room and couldn’t change the channel AND she had to watch two episodes of a show she strongly dislikes. She could have gotten up to get it but she chose me over the stupid show and we stayed snuggly for a really long time. She loves me so much.

I took a nap on the big bed with mommy the other day and I lay right across her legs to keep her safe. She said it was not the most comfortable she had ever been but she didn’t move because it was the first time I had been so close and she didn’t want to scare me. We slept for a long time and I kept her safe – she was thankful.
