We've all had an interesting week! Committments at work have kept all of us really busy this week, so Paz has had to spend more time in her crate than usual. Fortunately, she is very comfortable there so she goes in without a fuss. Most of the time she just rolls over on her back and snoozes!
On July 7, I took Paz to our local mall. Our trip went well! We were there for over an hour; everything appeared new and exciting for Paz. She was really intrigued by a trampoline system that was being installed. She also like exploring the big planters, maybe because she found a discarded waffle cone in the first one she explored. After her gastric issues earlier in the week, I was quick to fish it out of her mouth!!! She did NOT like the "Hollister" store- I don't know if it was the dark lighting or the strong smell of perfume that made her wary, but she was extremely cautious when we walked by it a couple of times. I never liked spending time in there when Kate was shopping either, so maybe my bad vibes affected Paz!
While mall walking, Paz attracted the attention of some of the spanish speaking fire fighters in town this week attending the Fireman's Training School . The language barrier made it almost impossible for me to answer their questions or explain Paz's vest and that she was a working dog; from what I could understand they thought she was beautiful!
Eventhough it's been incredibly hot here again this week, Paz still enjoys spending time outside. We're never sure what critters will be out in the back yard, so one of us still goes outside with her each time. She's getting more and more interested in chasing the bunnies and birds that hang out in our yard. Much to my surprise, Paz actually caught a bird yesterday!!!! It was down on the ground under one of our bird feeders and must have been completely oblivious to its surroundings; there is no other way to explain how Paz was able to get close enough to catch it! Paz is far from stealthy- she normally runs around with a plastic jug in her mouth, shaking it to death. Somehow Paz was able to drop the jug and pounce on the bird. Paz didn't seem to know what to do with it because she let it go as soon as it squawked! The bird made it safely to a tree out of Paz's reach and Paz has been on the look out for wayward birds ever since!
