After almost two weeks of strange, off-putting behavior, the Mauzer has decided to return to her previous manners.
That’s not to say we are now taking long hot soapy showers together (like Ginger and I). No, it just means that she is not openly defying me and acting like I was put on Earth to annoy her. Again, like Ginger.
Why? Who knows?
My “pet” theory (snorf) is that the heavy, non-stop rains that we had in the beginning of the year scared her.
The first time I took her outdoors in the rain she stepped off the covered patio, got hit with a juicy cold raindrop and ran whimpering back inside.
In turn, that unfortunate experience cascaded into her relying entirely on indoor pee pads and sometimes missing the target, irritation at no longer having the patio available for exploration and relaxation and diminished activity leading to dietary changes.
I have no idea if that’s accurate or not. But like a good DogDad, I welcomed the Prodigal Mauzer back with open arms. She (figuratively) returned the gesture.
So we’re pretty much back to square one on the trust and relationship issues. She continues to eye me with suspicion. Again, just like Ginger.
PS: I’ve been a bit tied up on project stuff so I may be a bit slower posting. Stop cheering.
Love to hear from ya
