So I haven't posted here nor has Maylee for a while. She still very itchy and rubbing against furniture, rugs, people and anything else she seems to deem appropriate to help relieve her itchiness. Maylee is now on a food trial and I realized that her toothpaste is chicken-flavoured oh shite! I need to remember to call her vet tomorrow and get her some allergy food trial friendly toothpaster because my dog is one of those special dogs that need their teeth brushed daily!

We went out for coffee with a friend and Maylee decided to slow her pace down so my friend D would be able to keep up with us. Unfortunately May also dropped a bomb in harness, I thought she'd be able to make it to the next block; however once she stopped in harness I realized that she couldn't and I took off her harness right away. *sigh* accidents happen and I am learning when she signals me that no mom I really have to go right now even though when you took me to relieve and gave me some extra time before we left I indicated that no really I don't have to go I was so wrong, she needs to almost right there and then. We'll get it eventually. I also noticed that May continued with a habit I thought I broke her out of, which is turning around to check on the person who we are with to make sure they are slightly behind us. Seems like I have to break her from this habit with each new person we walk with, soon she will have met all our friends. Also she got to meet D's cat Trillian they were both good. Maylee really, really wanted to play with Trill, but I keep her in harness so she didn't scare the cat. My guide dog is way to eager to play with any cat or dog she comes in contact with, just like she is way too happy to meet new people. The introduction was really cute because I had May on a down stay and Trill decided to lie down in front of May and just look at her. I could feel my dog's tail thumping away and her trying hard not to get up and play with the cat despite her overly exuberance to do so.

Also we got Maylee a new bed because she can't sleep in her crate with the head funnel. She really loves it and it's just the right size for her to curl up on. So now I'm teaching her to got to her bed when I say "bed" because she goes to her crate when I say "kennel" and I'd rather have two different words for these places so when she is able to sleep in her crate again there won't be any confusion.
