Lulu


We are 'baby-sitting' for Katie and Wilson this week. Katie is visiting family in Missouri and after calling 15 (!!!) kennels that were completely booked up, she decided to 'impose' on us (her words, not ours). Lulu has had issues here before, including holding one of our cats in her mouth after being attacked by said cat....NO injuries to the cat...but very scary to the people. We figured most of her issues were more because she was insecure, they had gotten her exactly a week before their visit.  So we figured that whatever issues she has, we can deal with.  3 full days in and the only real issue is that Lulu is highly reactive to cats...and we have 11 of them...so lots of opportunities to 'react' to them.  Add to that the fact that our big moose Theo likes to chase cats and it's kind of a perfect storm for issues to abound. We've dealt with it by making the 'ugly sound' we learned in obedience training....a loud ahh ahh, along with some NO's and so far, she pulls back pretty much immediately.  We're still on high alert most of the day, but I think it will be a good thing once the week is up.  We can feel more secure in the future when she comes to visit. 



Her other issue was with Khloe, so to make things easier this time....Khloe is spending the week with Brad and Laurel....and Eddie.  She is enjoying herself...as usual.
