It is hard to believe that Caitey will be 5 months just 3 days later. My sweetheart has quadrupled her weight during her less than 3-month of stay with us. She has definitely understood us better being a smart little girl. For instance, if I say "let us go for a walk" she'd run to the door and wait for me there, and if I say "go find Daddy" she'd run to the office or to his bedroom to wake the lazy bone up with her wet kisses.
Of course being a mischievous child she sometimes intentionally ignores us (especially Caitlin, the Shortie), like she gets carried away when she is around other dogs or children. It would make me multiple commands to get her sit or stay down, it can be a little annoying but it is nothing compared with her sweet moments.
Like the other day she had indigestion in her stomach and ran out of the door 3 times... till I had to drag her in every time and became really mad at her in the end. While I was wondering why she was behaving in such a strange manner, Caitey threw up on my floor -- that is when I realized that she had been trying to do it outside so not to soil my floor. How considerate of you Caitey.
She also met another friend of hers in our neighbourhood, Freckles, a cute 5-year old male dog who is a mix of Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel. He is a very adventurous dog and said to have roamed around every corner of our town, to the extent that our township's police dept knows him well and sent him back home quite a few times when he was younger, now he has no problem finding his way back home. Freckles' mom says that he is a super sweet dog, but even HE appeared to have an issue with my Caitey -- she might have spooked him a little the way she was overly excited around him.
I thought bigger female dogs have problems with my Caitey due to the same sex, but if a nice male dog acts the same way, hmmm.... then it is definitely Caitey and nobody else.
There goes my hope of Caitey marrying well... oh well, staying happily ever after with mommy then.
