So today has been an interesting up and down sort of day. This morning, I took ginger out for a potty break, and with the wind blowing, it was pretty cold. I hadn’t put her sweater on because I didn’t think it was going to be that cold. She wanted nothing to do with being out side. I usually have to walk her along the sidewalk around the house (we have a corner lot, so there’s lots of side walk) to get her to poop first thing in the morning, but I litterally had to drag her the whole way. I originally though she wasn’t feeling good, and was kind of worried, until we got to the end of our yard and turned around and she dragged me all the way back up to the front door!
Then about 15 minutes later, I put their jackets on, and we took a one mile round trip walk to moms friends house, whoes cats were watching, and I had to hold her head down to keep her from ripping my hand off while I put her sweater on! She may be small, and 4,000 years old, but she’s extremely strong for her size, and all that loose hound skin is hard to get a grip of. Needless to say, round two with the sweater did not go as well as round one did the other day. I’ll be buying her one that has Velcro straps across the chest and under the belly. I like all my fingers in tact, and I don’t want her to associate contact or jackets with that kill-it-dead mind set she gets. If it wasn’t so cold, I would have just let her be, but she’s too little to go walking around outside for extended periods with out some extra layers when it’s in the 60’s.
She also stopped to poop three times in less than a block. It looked ok, but that’s a lot of poop for such a small dog! I wonder if mom gave her something that upset her stomach, and her not feeling good made her extra grumpy…? And she trailed at the end of her 16 ft leash the whole walk. No spunk this morning at all. When we got home, she pee’d on the floor and proceeded to pass out pretty much until i get them this evening.
She ate well, hasn’t pooped yet (some times she poops right after, sometimes she waits till morning), and snuggled up with me, getting as close as she could possibly get while me and mom watched Catching Fire (Mocking Jay tomorrow!!!!!!), and she stayed there for a good hour and half, with her head on my shoulder, snoring away. Then she didn’t even fuss and try to eat me when I dug her out from the covers and worked her up to put her to bed. Normally she flips out and tries to bite anything with in reach when woken up. I’ve determined she needs her beauty sleep LOL
So anywaus, just a strange sort of day as far as her moon goes lol
