Lila's Weekend Adventure

Lila and Prancer went to grandma's house for a few days. There's something about a smaller space and one long hallway that got the girls running and playing. It was fun to watch! And a few days of "family time" seemed to be good for our girl - she allowed us to pet her and she would sit on the bed and the couch with us.

And there's improvement in other areas too - Lila is getting more used to a leash - she used to be like a flea on a leash - jumping, hopping, pulling, and jerking - but little by little the leash she is connected to isn't so scary. (I'm still not trusting her without a martingale though!)

Here's a picture of Lila as we returned home - she's pooped!

Lila Says "Goodbye" to a Friend

Lila's friend and foster sister Annabel's big day came today - she was adopted! Lila came along for the ride (and a bit more socialization!). Here are the BFFs for one last time. Farewell to the romps around the house and the mutual grooming and cuddles. Lila will miss her friend but her chance will come one day too.


In the meantime we have a secret adventure that begins tomorrow. We'll tell you more about that later!

BREAKTHROUGH!!

Please excuse my excitement but I have waited 5 months for this day to come! Lila has been jumping on my bed and sleeping by my feet the past few nights - she only sneaks up after I've fallen asleep and jumps off if she has been spotted. This evening I was watching TV and she jumped up next to Prancer and let me pet her and even initiated contact with me - she sniffed my face and kept coming in a bit closer. I was able to pet her - under the chin, on her head, down her back - she was such a brave girl!!! And to top it all off, she lifted her leg slightly so I could pet her belly. Oh my! I am a lucky and proud foster mom tonight. This was a great day :-)

Where in the Word is Lila?

Lila and her foster sister Prancer went to grandma's house today. Gaby the cat was not in a great mood and swatted Lila in the face a number of times (for no reason!). Lila just looked puzzled.

We stayed for a few hours - just long enough to wear the poor girl out! Here's a pic of Lila (and Prancer behind her) on the drive home. Pooped!

Look Who Crept Up this Morning

An Adoption Event?

Today we went to an adoption event. Lila spent some of the time in my mother's arms and the rest of the time safely in a crate so she could observe the activities.

We shared french fries on the drive home. Somehow, treats make her so much more sociable :-)

Last Night's Big Step

Last night someone crept up on my bed and curled up by my feet. I reached out to pet her but she scurried off!
