Frog Girl

Marley still hunts for toads and frogs every night. The frogs can attach themselves to the siding and she knows the most frequent hiding spots of the toads. She spends so much time with these amphibians that she is turning into one.

Walking around the neighborhood tonight Marley had another monster encounter. We met a high school student walking past us and Marley started barking and was fearful. There isn't any noticeable reason for these episodes. She recovers quickly, but we are going to try to work through this with more exposure to people/crowds.

Not sure if the timing is good for change, but we are moving her bed this evening. Marley will now be sleeping in the office a few doors down from our bedroom. This will be good for the person that sleeps late as Marley is very excited to have someone approach her while being crated, her tail thumps so loudly that we try to get her out quickly to not wake the sleeper. This new setup will provide us a better opportunity to teach her to be calm. I don't think that we will be successful - she is naturally happy.
