Not a lot of new "news" to put on here, but I felt guilty for not posting some of the latest pictures. Reese is now a healthy 2 year old, with her weight stable at "only" 87 pounds. It doesn't appear she's going to fill out too much more, and I should stop trying to fatten her up. The changes in food was going to both bankrupt and drive me crazy, simultaneously! I tried adding broths, cooking chicken and "people food", along with special canned foods, and she eats better (today) with the latest formula of just dried food. I've got her eating over 2 cups a day, almost 3 on some days, and feel that's a success!
For her behaviors, she's still a big chicken! She passed her CGC test, and comes to work one night a week, but hides under the desk a lot of the time. I don't pacify her, and ignore her skittishness, but it's not getting better. She seems to "want" to go, and loves playing with the light and running around with me there, but when the kids wake up, she turns all chicken. I don't think she'd make a good therapy dog, but we still go to training classes.
We are down to one cat at home, and this seems to make her lonely, so perhaps we'll get some kittens for her to eat, uhm.. play with. It's just not the time right now.
She's whining to go play in the snow, pretending she needs to do her business, when we all now she just wants to frolic, so I better go let her play before she gets bored. NO ONE wants a bored Shiloh. I'll try to put up our latest pictures, and take some more for the winter, and update this blog. It's nice to have an online record of how we are doing! Mostly, she just wants to play, and seems very happy, with a little goofy mixed in!
Really grateful for my Shiloh every day....
