Seated By The Door
Today was a big improvement on Cash's behavior.
We woke up this morning and he sat by the bedroom door and looked at us. I followed him to the hallway and he then sat by the front door, while looking at just me, this time.
Before this happened, we have let him out into the front yard to do #1 and #2 already, so I told him to wait and then he grunted a little. I assumed he wanted to do a #2 for the second time this morning. So, Mårten took him for a walk and Cash dumped a huge pile afterwards.
He came back home really happy. That, I am pretty sure of, since he had been jumping up and down beside the chair where I sat to write this entry.
Will Cash Stay Out in the Rain?
It was raining and drizzling a little yesterday, but despite the weather we decided to take a walk. Amber stays with us from time to time, she is a mix between a Rusky Toy and a Shih Tzu. We forgot one of their leashes in the car so we decided to connect Amber to Cash via a wire that we have previously installed on Cash's harness.
There were times when it felt like Cash was dragging Amber because of how small her steps are and how much faster Cash's pace is, but we did this for only about 2 meters. It was just from the door to the garage, just so neither of them would run away. Below is Amber after walking for almost an hour outside. I guess I could say that she almost started looking like a big rat, a much smaller one than Cash, of course.
The video below is when we got inside. Although they could be the best of friends at any given time, they could also be the worst of enemies and can bark or fight each other without end unless we step in to stop them. I tried putting subtitles on the video because I was talking in Swedish but I was basically telling Cash to either go outside in the rain or stay inside and stop fighting with Amber. Did he listen? Did he want to go out into the rain instead? We'll see!
I've translated the conversation since we only talk to him in Swedish and/or Filipino :) Switch on the captions (2nd icon on the lower right hand of the screen) for subtitles.
