Today was weird. FM left me with the blonde dog in the living room (since my home base is there) while she left. She was gone most of the day doing something she called work. She said it is part of the "routine" and told me that some peace and quiet today will do me good. I was a bit out of sorts getting out of my crate this morning so that was fine by me.
FM told her friends today that last night when I laid on the couch while she sat sort of near me and just touched me (she is doing this thing she calls T Touch) and gave me treats (my favorite - Tillamok Extra Sharp Cheddar) and I at one point licked her fingers then laid my head in her hand - that she almost bawled. I want so bad to trust her I'm just not quite ready but she knows that it is the little things that are important.
Tonight I had a new taste experience. I had my first ever popcorn! Not sure about the texture of that but I did eat like 4 pieces - the butter is the best part of course!
I still had accidents in the house today but FM didn't yell or scream, she just let us all outsidew when she got home and cleaned up the mess. She said that it just isn't the most important thing yet and with all the changes, it isn't surprising that I can't hold it all day. I did allllmost get it on the pee pad she left, just not quite.
I'm still very tired and am laying in my second home base (the wing chair) right now waiting for dinner. FM gives me these kissy noises and a smile every time I lift my head up to look to see where she is. The other thing she told me was a good sign was this (taken last night). That I'm laying sprawled out is good body language! (Aren't those some sexy jammies Magic loaned me?)
