I've Learned...

Trillian and Thursday are getting along famously. Here are some things that we've learned about both our dogs over the past few days:

Thursday can climb over the baby gates we have set up in our doorways. She puts her front paws on top and uses her back paws to climp up the fencing part. Then it's up and over. I'll post a film this weekend.

Trillian likes bones now. Al bought a hickory bone for her probably over a month ago. She ignored it completely. Thursday went straight for it her first time in the house. Now they play keep away. One dog leaves it alone for a second, the other one picks it up. Trillian chews furiously on it while Thursday is distracted. It's like she wants to chew the whole thing up so there won't be any left for Thursday!

As it turns out, Trillian really is a relaxed dog. Once contrasted with Thursday's bouncy-trouncy antics, it's pretty obvious how mellow Trillian is.

Thursday has no fear. She'll jump off of anything, go anywhere, approach anyone.

Thursday is learning from Trillian. If she wants a treat, she sits down and puts her paw up. Trillian sits and puts a paw up, and if that doesn't work, she lays down. She pretty much just cycles through her tricks.

The cat's patience is extremely limited. Oh wait, we already knew that. However, I've never actually seen him spit before.
