Caleb's Chronicles

[fuzzi]

I've a former coworker who had a chemo appointment this morning. I filled an 18 egg carton for her, and drove over to the hospital to meet her after.

Caleb came, of course.

He saw ambulances, delivery trucks, and patients on gurneys, wheelchairs, and canes walking in and out. Several people stopped to admire him, and talk about their own dogs. Caleb allowed a couple to pet him, he did really well.

It wore him out.

Her chemo ran long, so we had to wait, which gave Caleb an opportunity to relax in the car.

Then after she was done and we visited for a few minutes I drove over to a pond on the medical campus.

Ducks and geese were interesting, but Caleb just watched.

We walked around the pond.

I stopped on the drive home to pick up a prescription, and Caleb waited quietly in the car.

Once we got home Caleb got a chicken foot in his crate, and is currently taking a nap.

You have some really lovely & inviting areas where you live. Looks well maintained & set up for enjoyable walking visits. Lucky you

I think it being a university area contributes to parks being created and maintained. Nearby is a greenway I'd love to walk, but there's been crime issues associated with solo walkers, so I stick with busier locations.

Caleb had a woods walk this morning, but there were yappy snappy dogs on the paths, and he came home more anxious than when we left.

But this afternoon I put him outside on his cable while I was working in the yard, and he seemed to enjoy it...especially when I came over and sat in the shade to take a break.

When I brought him inside he went into his crate, on his own, and took a short rest.

Good boy!

BIG step forward in the relationship!!!!

Caleb was lying in his crate, door open. Debbie came in the room and jumped on the back of my recliner...she used to do that before Caleb arrived.

Caleb got excited, left the crate, came over and looked at her, then paced back and forth between the kitchen and living room...stopping and looking at Debbie repeatedly.

She tucked her paws under her chest, very nonchalant.

He's now lying at my feet chewing his Benebone.

She's got Caleb's number.

I love Debbie

That's a pretty big moment there! Caleb is still a little anxious over Debbie, but she is fully at ease and I have no doubt that she would slap him hard if he got silly.

I've seen her do a one pawed rapid fire spanking on Caleb's haunch, 5-7 smacks, no claws. Caleb was shocked, perturbed, and scuttled away.

She knows what she's doing.

I love Debbie

Debbie and Cleo, 2021.

Cleo loved Debbie. She did everything to mother an abandoned 4 week old kitten except feed her.

My daughter had a mini weiner dog that brought down milk for a tiny calico kitten that we found. That kitten nursed on her until she was bigger than the dog and over a year old.
