I took advantage of a large climbable sculpture and various ledges to teach Lola "up" and "off". She liked being high up, where she could survey all the land. <br />
<br />
After we moved to the house, I began taking Lola to a local park (only a few blocks away). In the spirit of reinforcing her "up" and "off" training, I often took her to this ledge (which I think little kids are supposed to jump off of) and late one evening it occurred to me that she might like to go up on one of the jungle gyms. I thought she'd be a little hesitant, but she followed me right up like a trooper. She <i>really</i> likes being high up, where she can scan the <i>whole</i> park:<br />

Sometimes, when I pet her or cuddle up to her, she will first enjoy all the skritching (I am her personal back & butt scratcher) and then quite suddenly, as if she just had <span style="font-style:italic;">endured</span> a terrible punishment, she'll be all "<span style="font-style:italic;">Mom!</span> Stop touching me! It's embarrassing!" and then scamper off. Lately, though, she has been quite content to go to bed with me at bedtime. I rub her tummy till I fall asleep; if she's wired, she'll stick her face right in front of mine, ostensibly either making sure I'm asleep or not dead (not sure which) and then leave to her own bed. Sometimes she sticks around, trying to to stick her head under the temporary window blind and see whatever is OUTSIDE (yes, it's annoying & wakes me up). If she's not wired, sometimes she falls asleep too. (A year ago, she would NEVER stay on the bed with me, much less sleep on it. I guess she getting used to me. Or the bed. Probably the bed. :) ) Sometimes, she realizes she's drifting off & startles herself awake, as if saying, "OMG! I almost fell asleep on mom's bed. Eww."<br /><br />She's currently hunting flies in the bedroom.<br /><br />For more on Corporal Cuddling (or the aspect ratios of Kitties), watch <a href="http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2008/04/an-engineers-gu.html">this video</a>.<br /><br />Happy weekend!wormiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00873112278264969544noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16450989.post-50533943137714375802008-03-23T11:07:00.001-07:002008-03-23T11:08:47.633-07:00Lola sez...Hoppy Bunny Day!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Am7xYjVPoZk/R-ackKDvZfI/AAAAAAAAAAY/AF4Pw8fNQ5k/s1600-h/bunnies.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Am7xYjVPoZk/R-ackKDvZfI/AAAAAAAAAAY/AF4Pw8fNQ5k/s320/bunnies.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181000566325601778" /></a>wormiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00873112278264969544noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16450989.post-88569382983639904552008-01-30T21:47:00.000-08:002008-01-30T22:05:52.035-08:00New DaycareLola's long time daycare has closed for good and I'm quite sad. Lola had been going there for almost two years - she had a few doggie pals who <span style="font-style:italic;">understood</span> her and the staff was always great with her. I was always comfortable leaving her there for cage-free boarding. The good news is that one of their employees also does dog-sitting & walking on the side and I feel very comfortable hiring her to doggy-sit Lola so that she can stay at home if I need to go out of town and walk her on the days when I have to work till 7pm (all the doggy daycares around here close at 7pm). <br /><br />As for daycare, my schedule at work is improving & by next fall I may not even "need" daycare. (Lola has a lot more fun staying at home in the house than she ever did in the apartment and while Lola is not particularly doggy anti-social, she really does prefer the company of people over other dogs.) For the spring, though, I may have to find something. I've seen <a href="http://www.houndslounge.com/">Hounds Lounge</a> and <a href="http://www.planetdoggydaycare.com/">Planet Doggy</a>, and I hope to go see <a href="http://www.wagville.com/">Wagville</a> later this week (Wagville is a little out of my way, but I thought I'd check it out anyway). I'm also going to look around to see if there is a place near work.<br /><br />I suppose the good thing is that this happened during winter break. :/wormiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00873112278264969544noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16450989.post-77936623506774927282007-12-30T17:23:00.000-08:002007-12-30T17:27:08.398-08:00Happy Holidays!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wormieness/2150691460/" title="Santa's Helper by wormieness, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2299/2150691460_1388d18cc3.jpg" width="300" height="400" alt="Santa's Helper" /></a><br /><br />Lola wanted to be Santa's little helper. :)<br /><br />(I had meant to post this while I visited family, but I didn't have internet access...

She jumped up onto the Ottoman (where she usually takes a nap while I type away). And she just sat there. Looking out the window. She has seen squirrels and birds out the window, but never this:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wormieness/755846824/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1170/755846824_7ad69965a5.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="Lola_home006" /></a><br /><br />She started barking like crazy ["Mom!

When I went to take Lola out for a walk, Lola spotted it & immediately took it into her mouth. She was all, "this is the best ball <span style="font-weight:bold;">ever</span>!" I played with her a little, bouncing it & tossing & she dutifully chased it. Then she took it in her mouth, turned around and stood in front of the door until I opened it. She stepped into the house, dropped the ball inside and came back out ready for her walk...all with a very "oh, hey, that ball's neat. I will keep it. Thank you." attitude. When we got back from the walk, she wanted to play with it again. We did. Then she took it to her bed & settled in:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wormieness/563468325/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1386/563468325_5dbac708ac.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="tennisball_01" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wormieness/563102602/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1437/563102602_6680cf8060.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="tennisball_02" /></a><br /><br />It's not like she doesn't have a half dozen of her own...but apparently she likes the ones that are left abandoned [This is the second one she has picked up & kept. The first was found in an alley near the old apartment.]<br /><br /><br />Also: I forgot to take the camera on her playdate with Kaylee (which was just as well - when I got home, I discovered that the batteries needed recharging.) The girls had fun - Kaylee ran around and played nice, like the good girl she is. Lola watched the other dogs play. :) It was nice to spend time with D & Wes.

My camera is MIA, but I'll figure something out soon.<br /><br />Lola has been pretty happy with the move - even though she's been pretty much confined to my bedroom whilst remodeling/painting continue.
