I am trying to do everything I was taught in her Potty-Training class. It would work, were my communication skills more profficient! I take her from her crate to the puppy pad, and nothing.....ten minutes....nothing. I put her back into her crate, she arches her back into the poo stance. I say "no." Not yelling, just firm. To make a long story short, she apparently interprets this as "Never poop again." Back & forth each morning. Each afternoon, cleaning it up. I even put her food in her crate. She pooped in it. It's not her, it's me & my lack of skills at this! Why can't I just send her to boarding school for this!!!!!???? I'm calling her trainer tomorrow!!! Anyway....that's about all going on with my sweet baby Soph! The CATS, on the other hand....OH DEAR!!!
I just love birds. They are such graceful, beautiful, delicate creatures. Got some things to attract them this weekend. Filled up the hummingbird feeder with fresh mixture. I re-constructed an old satellite pole for a bird-feeder. Got a concrete (2 pc) bird bath (weighs a ton!). When I look out to see my beautiful, little birdies, the feeder is cocked over and the bird-bath bowl is on the ground. The cats have mistaken the feeder for their personal snack-shack, and the bath for a cat-feeder. What have I done? My friend, Ralph, says I made the cats a buffet!!! I did, unintentionally! How do I rectify this? I have created baited traps for my cats utilization, ultimately! To make matters worse, as my buddy D pointed out, the bird feeder is almost even with the top of a hill, which they could easily pounce from. I was already impressed with my dear felines' natural predatory skills, but this is taking it to a whole new level.... It's one thing that they catch prey naturally, but now I'm an accessory!!!! I feel so guilty!!!! I never wanted to give our feathered little friends the unfair advantage!!!! Give me a minute....I'll rectify this somehow with good old ingenuity!!!
