Of Guide Dogs and Kittens

Sandy emails that the kitten is doing well, she’s already using litter and when introduced to food last week for the first time was the only among the three to eat. I replied to say that perhaps the little ragdoll can teach my GSD companion a thing or two.
Though, I must admit Miss Yara is doing so much better about eating. She’s pretty consistently eaten most, if not all, of her meals for the last week. I can’t really tell if she’s gaining any weight but let me assure you that she is pooping mountains!1 She is definitely in much better spirits of late, too.
On a somewhat related note, I was speaking with Patty the other day regarding some telling things about Yara. Specifically I was noting that I can always tell, based on her actions, how much she has eaten from a given meal. If she’s decided to completely ignore her food, she’ll camp out in the kitchen; usually right next to her food dishes, but sometimes she’ll curl up in a corner instead. If she’s been a good girl and eaten some of her food, but not all, she’ll come out of the kitchen and roll around on her bed or rub her face on the hall rug. But now if she’s been an exceptional little dog and cleaned out her bowl, she will hunt through the entire apartment to find me so that she can use any exposed surface of my body as her napkin!
Sometimes she’s really too cute to be real.
1. Seriously. I have several coworkers who can back me up on this.
