The Duo and The Colder Temps

I guess time got away from me. I haven't made a post since last Sunday. Let's see, what has been going on? I'm super happy to say our fur baby duo of Piper and Landon....aka Pipdon...are getting along better and better as each day passes. A very common sight in our household now is a cat chasing a puppy or a puppy chasing a cat. Both of them love the game of chase. Especially the youngest one! Watch out, don't get in their way! She also loves boxing his ears, he allows this but tries to get in a little nip here and there. He does the same no teeth nip maneuver Simon used to do.

I'll admit I was a little worried how they were going to coexist long-term if she didn't start to accept him. But Brad kept telling me, she'll warm up to him in her own time. Just this past week she's finally come around. But up until this week we've dealt with Piper biting him, batting at him(in a non playful manner), hissing at him, and spraying him. Yep, Landon's had a couple extra baths thanks to his big sis. For those that aren't familiar, cats can "spray" an odor on things, similar to a skunk spraying it's nasty scent. Typically took two back to back bath sessions to get the smell off of him. Annoying and disgusting!

Weather has turned a little chilly the last few days. The week ahead appears to be a somewhat cold one too. As of this moment we still haven't started up our heater. We're comfortable enough with the space heater. But when the temp drops to 29° come Monday evening I think we'll need the heater. Landon might need his snow coat to go to school on Monday night. Oh wait, he doesn't have a coat yet. He doesn't have anything. We will go shopping for him tonight. Because it's turned too cold too fast and nothing from the pugs fits him.

And another reason why he needs a coat...because he got his 3rd round of booster shots today...you know what that means? He'll be lethargic and a whiny baby tonight. Well, yes. That's a given. But it means something else too, it's time to start taking him for walks. I'm so excited. We've practiced a lot with the leash indoors but it's time to further leash train him outside. Look out neighborhood, Landon is coming!
