   Tripe is more delicious than Perl

 Perl wondering why I keep trying to get that stupid big dog in shot as well as her.

Perl seems to think that the dog is just about acceptable in polite company...

Perl's view of my foster dogs is generally to look at how they can be used politically in her wrangles with other cats. A cat with an enormous lurcher behind her is a cat with serious negotiating power.

Perl looks fairly wary there, though!

That is generally Perl's camera face. She is expressing disapproval that I am messing about with a camera rather than lavishing the attention on her that she considers to be her right.

Ah. That it explains it. It's a cat thing, then.

More delicious than Perl - and therefore more desirable and, dare I say it, more important? Heresy! Perl is quite right to look disgruntled.

Goodness, I hope Duke doesn't have the nerve to express the view that Tripe is More Important than Perl. He might get a noseful of claws.

That looks like a result to me!

I'm not counting my chickens yet and definitely won't be leaving them unsupervised together - but I'm really pleased with the progress so far. From furious lunging and barking to ignoring in close proximity, in under two weeks, is pretty good going.

It's very good going.

You ARE doing well!

I think he's a really bright dog, I'm impressed by how quickly he's picked up all sorts of things.

I have wondered how much I am re-teaching of stuff he already knew - but surely he would not forget things like how to walk up and down stairs? And the learning to sit was a real lightbulb moment thing, I'm sure he didn't know that, he worked it out.

I *think* he's even got the house training down now, though he does have this odd thing where once he's eaten he wants to urinate right next to his bowl. But now I know about what triggers that, it's easy enough to whip him outside as soon as he's finished eating.

It doesn't sound as if he's had much domestic education at all. Good he's picking everything up so quickly. Clever boy!
