Booby Sock & Effie

Managed, in spite of Effie to get a little done on the Booby Sock. I'm down to the Breast Cancer Awareness band, having finished the "Awareness Walk" and cuff.






There's nothing like an unruly child or dog! So I started training Effie right away. She had never had a color or leash, being raised in the home. Bought the cutest little color and matching leash. That along with a brush, pillow, car restraint (which I am going to return), 2 boxes of treats and a couple of elastics for her top knot that the groomer gave me and all the usually new customer "gifts".

Then to PetCo to get a bed for her crate, a few toys, travel water bottle, longer leash for outside and a booster seat. She did OK with it for a bit yesterday, but I am still on the look-0ut for something to go in the back of the car. That's where you put a baby car seat so they have to make something.

Effie never had a collar, and is not leash trained. So I started with just the collar. She did NOT like that, and spent the next couple of hours trying to rub it off. After a nap she seemed to settle in to it, so I attached the small leash and that took a while before she would move much with that on. No way is she going to walk on a lead yet, she would just lie on the floor.

Today she was much better with the long leash outside, and actually stayed out and played on the deck with it attached for a while. She is good with the smaller one inside too. She goes to the vet today, and the groomer next week. She seems to be getting "come" when she is in her playful mode, but tires of that game easily. Will have to try and work on the leash this afternoon.

She went to sleep at 9 last night, and at 5 this morning she was just sitting in her crate awake, not making a noise. She promtly went outside and did her duty!
