Big News in Little Dogville
Where to begin! The last 24 hours have been a revelation!!! For no apparent reason yesterday, Mitzie gave her first tiny 'wuff wuff' followed by a small growl... I think it was her reaction to the dearth of Olympic coverage here in India! She quite enjoys watching the TV. Then last night, she pooped in the designated area on our balcony, despite about eight attempts to get her to do it outside. And this morning, we had our first peeps on the balcony too!!! It had been 15 hours since she last went, which seemed ridiculously long, and she doesn't seem to want to go outside on the grass. Slowly but surely she'll get the hang of it...
The vet came to see her yesterday and gave her a clean bill of health, except for a small eye infection was has been plaguing her for a while before we brought her home. We discussed the options of getting her spayed - and he could actually do it at home! Yikes! Not sure what he would charge, but his one-hour visit yesterday was the ridiculous amount of $7.50!!! Tom wants him to visit every day...
We did have a restless night... Twice during the night Mitzie launched herself like a rocket dog onto our bed and woke me up from a deep sleep. Tom is the softy in the house, letting her stay there, while I frantically get her to go back in her bed. We will try her in the crate tonight... Neither of them will like that!!!
I'm sure life is going on as normal in Bangalore and feel slightly guilty that Majesty is being neglected til we establish a routine for the little one. However, I did hear yesterday that he was being filmed for a small part in a Kannada film, so he's clearly doing quite well without me!!!
