Morning!
Well - everything still seems to be going well. The cat is venturing out a bit more and still no "nasty outbursts"!!
We have tried putting a clothes horse in front of the kitchen door (to act as a gate) so that she can go in and get her dinner without Sophie stealing it! But I will have to buy a proper gate, as the cat is 12 and I don't want her having to jump up high to get her dinner, so I will have to continue to leave it on the kitchen floor.
Went a lovely long walk with Sophie and Paul yesterday to some local woodland - but it started lashing with rain so we all got soaked!! When we came home Sophie got dried off with the hairdryer - and she was great with that! She has been to Crufts so is used to getting showered, dried etc!
My God those muddy Cocker feet can cause havoc! I have now learned to close the bedroom door PRIOR to going out for a walk so that I can dry her off before she leaps onto the bed for a roll about!!
One more peeing incident last night in the living room this time - just outside the kitchen door. Whisked her outside! I have been giving her a small treat (a single piece of Iams) when she does pee outside and saying that she is a good girl etc. So hopefully that will resolve itself with time.
I bought her a car harness yesterday too - but she is a dream traveller - she just goes to sleep within minutes!
I am still worried about how clingy she is - I can't move anywhere without her following me. Having had a dog with separation anxiety before - I feel that these maybe worrying signs of thing to come!!
I would welcome any help on how I can try to resolve this. I am getting her crate today from the breeder as tomorrow will be her first time left alone - I am dreading it!!
