Notes from the Dining Room Table
TGIF!! I hope you're all well and safe; we're good here, although up to our ears in ridgeback adjustment!!
This has been my view for the last three weeks while we continue to orient, train, gang up on, and otherwise manage Benson's orientation:
Notice the knitting on the bottom. Not a lot of spare time these days! And that's Oogyhubby's laptop in the background. We look like a small newsroom, with yarn!
(At meal time, everything just gets swept to one side. And then swept back again!)
So every day we make a bit of progress with Benson, and every day there is some new thing. I won't call it a setback, because he really does need a lot of confidence- and trust-building, but mysterious things like being afraid of the fan, or not wanting to walk with Oogyhubby. He'll get there. It's only been three weeks, and I think he's already calmed down a lot (although there is still a long way to go!).
Other than that, things have been quiet here, but warm. Mostly we sit at the table doing our work, throw the weird red chipmunk squeak toy for indoor fetch, and go for lots of walks (or strolls, when it's so warm out).
The rest of the yarn for the Casapinka KAL is on its way, and good thing - that starts in one week! Woo hoo!! Neuro and I will be on fire!!!
