Friday's Stitching Ground 🧡

This evening DH and I were looking at some photos with Gman from his trip last year in school. He was showing us when he went to Paris and London. What a blessing he went when he did, this spring group had to come home early and I doubt they did much traveling the short time they were there.

Slow and steady, not much longer now. Then I just have to add the words and figure out how I'm finishing it. I think a frame will work the best for it.

Did you know that it was National Donut Day?

Here's Chewie with his favourite toy donut!

Do you have a favourite donut? I must say I like chocolate with the chocolate icing and the jelly filled ones are good too. But I really love my pumpkin in the fall! 

Friday's Stitching Ground 💚

This Friday I decided it was time to spend time with Maximus in the bedroom since that's where he's most comfortable since Chewie arrived. It's almost been three weeks, I wonder how much longer he's going to be a wuss?!

Then Ming wanted to know what was going on and joined us.

Still a little sloppy in my eyes, but I'm not going to worry about it. Each square does represent something and you'll see when I'm finished.

This. This is what greets me in the morning when I come out of the bedroom. This is Chewie smiling at me. And he wiggles and tries to jump on me, he's a lover for sure!

Thank you for those who had dog tips, I still need to respond to comments. He's learning how to sit, stay, and release when I give him his meals, it's a slow process. He has to be in his crate while we're eating and he's very good in there while waiting. He stays in the yard with us and loves to play with the ball and frisbee. Even better when we chase him! For the FIRST time last night, he didn't whine, howl, or cry when I put him to bed in his crate and he slept in until 7:30, awesome! 
I think he knows he's been rescued and he appreciates it, I couldn't imagine letting him go anywhere but here.
Have you been fortunate enough to be able to foster? Were you a foster failure like us?! 😆

Friday's Stitching Ground 💕

Even though this didn't get done in time for our anniversary, I'm still stitching and will be done with it whenever.
Chewie has scared the cats away, although Ming will sit with me if she's wrapped in a blanket!

From far away it looks okay, so I'll keep at it, making it my own.

And later it was movie time with the boys and kitties, no dogs allowed!

Chewie is still crying when we first put him in his crate at bedtime, but he's getting better and will sleep until about 6:30 or so.

He likes to jump on you for kisses, but we're trying to stop that. I do have a water bottle to squirt him with when he's jumping or trying to get the cats and he's not very fond of it. Ming still teases him by meowing to announce her arrival in the room and then runs when he wants to check her out. Her favourite is running upstairs because Chewie is too scared to go up that far. Max is slowly coming out more, but he's still very skittish.

Chewie still has a lot of learning to do, but we just need to be consistent with him. Do you have any dog training tips to share?
