That Marcie!  When she came over after lunch she didn't bring the pink quilt, because even though the binding was all attached it still needed to be pressed.  What did she bring?  My curtains!  I had specifically said there was NO rush and, jokingly (I thought!) added that I did not want to see them this afternoon.  

Of course she did a wonderful job, matching up the lines of windows - 

which of course would not have happened if I'd made the curtains.

Latina was a lot more relaxed around Brownie this afternoon (we are making progress), and he in turn is no longer trying to get her to play by nipping at her, also good progress.  

Then we went outside. That was when Latina discovered that there was a really big dog in the yard (Wally) though she was considerably less scared than we expected.  AND she may have finally figured out that she's a dog...  

Instead of cowering and shivering (her previous behavior around other dogs) she snapped (for the first time ever!) at Wally when he got his face too close to hers and let him know that was not acceptable.  He got the message, and strolled off. 

 

We may have turned a corner with her?
