1 Day 1 World Project: Donna at 8:00pm – 9:00pm
But I want to stay in here, human.
Donna seems to have become so comfortable in the study that she spends a lot of time in it, with or without the human.
She comes in here when she feels fearful. It has been thundering quite a bit last two weeks. And then she becomes very calm and falls asleep.
She also comes in here when the human tries to positively condition her to like the pole she is supposed to jump over. She goes – I dun wanna! – and slinks into the study to hide.
Long road ahead for the human with that pole jumping thing. :/ Think we got to desensitize her to it first, but that is another story for another time.
Anyway, if she’s stays in there much longer, we’ll probably have to start calling her the otaku-dog. :(
It’s ok when the dog doesn’t come when called. Sometimes, it just means she’s not comfortable and we’re better laying off on the pole jumping. We cab always do other fun things, set her up for success and build back some confidence.
For 24 weeks, weliveinaflat will post photos taken for a specific hour in that week.
We will cover 24 hours in 24 weeks. (I’ve no idea how we will do the sleeping hours, lol!)

I hope Donna is tolerating the thunder a little better now… Thanks for sharing your hour with us!

With so much time in the study, where’s the degree?

Hey, I am just delighted to see that she is handling the thunder better. We had storm warnings here tonight, and with the loud thunder two of my four cats headed under the sofa for the duration. Scardy cats! My dog Gracie (and the other two cats) do ok with it though, which is good. You are making progress!!

It’s very helpful for a fearful dog to have a safe place to go. Seems like that study does a lot of good for Donna.

I’m looking forward to some late night camera creativity!
