Pet For A Day

Cinder has increased her potty frequency, so we increased her cranberry dosage. Since she wasn't feeling well and we had work to do around the house, she had the day off. Cinder was Pet(queen) For A Day.

While we worked, Cinder ran around the yard. She was on a thirty foot cable and could get into everything. As I pulled weeds, she would carry them away or rip them apart. She thought she was helping, but we would have got more done if we didn't have to continually stop and untangle her.

The swimming pool was also accessible. She was timid at first, fearful of the noise the cable made as it rubbed the plastic pool. With some prompting and a golf ball to dive for she turned into water dog, running around the yard, through the pool, over the plants to find Lisa, and back to the pool. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

We brought the golf ball inside to play with on the basement floor. She loves the sound as it bounces on the tile floor. She runs and drops it so it rolls and then she pushes it with her paw to keep it moving. Cinder is a smart little girl; her favorite trick tonight was walking up about five steps and pushing it down the stairs and chasing it. She did this at least ten times, so it was definitely planned.
