Old Habits & New

At the end of June I had gone home to NY for a week and left Freya with a friend of mine who has Loki. Of course when I got back the dogs were excited to see me. Freya couldn't contain herself...literally. She made several puddles on their floor she was so happy. I got lots of kisses that day.

After about a week of being home, Freya, decided to pick up an older habit. What's that you are wondering? Getting up in the middle of the night to go out and go potty. Roughly 3-3:30am every morning. She does wake me up though. Except last night and that was only to be picked back up on the bed at 1:15am. Most people I've come to realize wouldn't tolerate this. But it's better in my humble opinion to take her out than to accidently step in a mess when you first get up.

I know I could crate Freya because she does okay the initial confinement time is over. But then I feel guilty. I've become very accustomed to feeling the little warm fur ball curled up next to me. Though that didn't take long to get used to. So I don't sleep well when she's not with me.

The new thing that has started is that Freya has taken to sleeping on the foot of the bed on the other side. After a little while she gets up and moves next to me and curls up where she stays the rest of the night.

In case I've forgotten to mention this in other entries...she's no longer afraid of the cat. And let me tell you it's a sight to watch them chase each other now. :)

Life is Good

Freya is first and foremost my chief of security closely followed by the world's most curious explorer. She is relentless when hunting down a bug a that caught her attention. I feel sorry for the grasshoppers especially the bigger ones. All they want is to be left alone and here comes the "nose". It's really cute to watch her. The ears straight up facing forward, the look of curiosity on her face. And then the pounce. The grasshopper takes flight and it happens again.

She's not so much into going for walks as exploring every inch of the ground. The nose goes a mile a minute. Well until a grasshopper, cricket or some other interesting creature draws her attention. And then the hunt begins. Once that's over exploration continues. Although as time goes on, Freya's getting the idea of what going for a walk is.

Another of Freya's favorite past times is going for a car ride. Unfortunately her favorite place to be is in my lap when I'm driving. Needless to say I know how dangerous that is and keep the rides as short as possible and as infrequent as I can get away with.

All that said...Freya is very stubborn when she wants to be. When she sets her mind to something she is determined to do it. I'm just glad she's small enough she can't counter surf like Grendarr does. That doesn't stop the kitchen from being one of her favorite places to be though.

Well that's all for now...gotta tell my security chief everything is okay. LOL
