(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Blu and Flower

Meet Blu!

Blu is a super cute pup that is staying with us this week for some training. She is about eight months old and is part husky and part blue heeler. She was a little shy at first, but quickly warmed up to me.

We have started working on some basic obedience training using clicker training and she is doing great so far! She’ll be working on sit, stay, come, and leash walking with me over the next week.

In other news, Flower the rat is feeling much better and we are having a much less eventful week this week than we did last week! Thank you for all of your nice comments and notes after her surgery last week.

Our biggest challenge has been trying to keep her calm and not so active after the surgery. Rats don’t like to sit still for long and she has been a bit disagreeable about this. I’ve been keeping her in a much smaller cage and I can tell that she has quite a bit of extra energy. I finally let her go back into the big cage with Annie today and she was pretty happy about that. They were curled up together in the hammock this afternoon.

I was doing some tidying today and the box with all of the goodies from Cloud Star was sitting on the couch. In the picture above, you can see that Flower was pretty sure that the box and the yummy treats inside were just for her! Luckily, I was able to catch her and move the box before she actually got into the box and started chowing down.

We probably won’t be back with another post until this weekend. So, I hope that you, your family, and all of your furry friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
